The 2nd Generation Apple TV hasn't been able to update for close on ten years. The last update it could perform was iOS 7.1.2 (Apple TV 6.2.1) in 2014.


Update your Apple TV - Apple Support shows that only Apple TV HD and 4K models can update to the current system.


The unit itself is twelve years old and becoming very out of date, apparent when used with more modern hardware such as your iPhone. You might consider buying a new Apple TV if your current model is not suiting your needs.
