I didn’t mean it as 100% fact, as this feature isn’t out yet, but it the 2021 Apple TV should be able to run this.
I bought the new Apple TV and was not really sure why I did. But now I am very happy! We love to sing Karaoke and this will be very cool.
And it seems most people don't understand this needs a lot of processor power. Voice will be excluded in real time. Problably all oder Apple TVs are not capable of it. Last years? Hm... maybe? But older Apple TVs for sure not.
It will be very interesting how good this works.
Apple Music Sing will be available on all compatible iPhone and iPad models as well as the new Apple TV 4K.
And they did not say yet which models are compatible.

And again that is not true. Apple says (down at "Availability"):

I’m not complaining about this feature being restricted on previous models because I have the newest Apple TV 4K!!

It has to do it on the fly to sync with whatever you're singing into the iPhone. Plus my kids aren't gonna wait 30 seconds for the song to 'buffer' before they start yelling into the phone.
Stop it. YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. Are you a computer engineer? You have no freakin' idea of what each chip is capable of. And yet you are spreading Apple hate.
How about the iPhone 14 and satellite SOS. MR posters were yelling and screaming that previous iPhone should have the same satellite capabilities. Then it was revealed that only the iPhone 14 had the chip necessary for satellite capabilities. Just how do you know that there isn't something similar going on here. Raw processing power doesn't mean everything. Thank goodness for the ignore capabilities of the forum.
Of course, no way my poor little feeble PS5 could run karaoke on it's Apple Music app.
Let me just check... The previous Apple TV 4K could play all manner of amazing whiz-pop games, but it can't scroll some text on the screen and play a music track at the same time? Okay, got it.
I wonder if this is just a typo/mistake. Their one-sheet just says "Apple TV".
But knowing Apple, they are probably limiting it to the new Apple TV 4K. If true, couldn't one just AirPlay their iPhone/iPad to the non-supported Apple TVs?

I care a lot. I just bought the old one and our family loves karaoke. Bummer. Do I return the old and spring for the new?
Real-time scanning the music and muting the vocals. This is all algorithmic. Apple isn’t going to develop karaoke for every song they developed software that does it. And apparently needs an A13
So we don’t know why but we’ll put up a separate article about it anyway because it drives hate traffic. Sigh.
And LOL at thinking someone is going to buy a new Apple TV box just to get a karaoke feature.

Maybe but that’s not how they did it. They did it in the way that requires a better processor.
Not sure why Apple suddenly gives a big * to so many Apple TV customers. Almost every functionality for the Apple TV got to the oldest possible Apple TV. This functionality for sure would run on the pre-tvOS Apple TVs, unless they added some wild animations.
Apple being good for the environment? Nah, just obsolete old hardware after not being sold for 3 months.

If Apple is gonna release more functionality exclusively to latest gen Apple TVs the old generation is gonna be worthless pretty fast. If you thought about selling it on EBay after 2 years I don’t think you’ll fetch more than $ 5.
