AirPlay is one of the most convenient features of Apple TV. It allows you to easily share audio or video content from your iPhone, iPad or Mac to your TV. However, if you have an older model of Apple TV, you may not be able to use AirPlay on iOS 16. In this article, we’ll explain why and what you can do about it.
What is AirPlay?
AirPlay is a proprietary protocol stack/package developed by Apple Inc. that enables wireless transmission between devices of audio, video, device screens, and photos, along with related metadata. AirPlay components include the AirPort Express Base Station, Apple TV set-top box, and third-party receivers.
With an AirPlay receiver like Apple TV or a compatible stereo receiver, users can wirelessly stream audio from iTunes on a computer or iOS device to speakers throughout the home. There are three ways to stream audio content to an AirPlay receiver: through iTunes on a computer, as mentioned; through AirPlay-enabled apps; or use an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad as a remote control to play content on another device.

AirPlay is a wireless streaming feature of Apple TV that allows you to share audio or video content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to an HDTV or other compatible display. Older Apple TV models don’t support AirPlay on iOS 11 or later.
Why don’t older Apple TV models support AirPlay in iOS 16?
One of the key features of AirPlay is that it allows you to wirelessly stream audio and video content from your iOS device to your Apple TV. However, this feature is not available on older Apple TV models that do not support AirPlay in iOS 16.
There are a few reasons why older Apple TV models don’t support AirPlay in iOS 16. First, AirPlay requires a certain level of hardware and software compatibility to work properly. Older Apple TV models may not have the necessary hardware or software components to support AirPlay. Second, AirPlay uses a lot of bandwidth and resources when streaming content. This can cause older Apple TV models to lag or buffer when trying to stream content wirelessly.
