tvOS 27 missing from WWDC 2026 keynote despite Apple OS updates for Mac, iPhone, and iPad

Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
WWDC 2026 featured major updates for macOS 27, iOS 27, and iPadOS 27, including Siri AI integration, customizable Liquid Glass transparency options, and new child safety features. However, tvOS 27 was conspicuously absent from the keynote, only appearing in a single graphic listing all Apple operating systems. The article notes that this year's WWDC had a different structure organized by features rather than individual OS sections, yet tvOS still received no dedicated mention or feature announcements.
