If the two iPhones are different models it’s likely because the iOS version is different. Since the Apple TV app is built into the OS and not distributed universally through the App Store the Apple TV apps will be different between iOS versions.
For example the Apple TV app on an iPhone 6 or earlier is going to look different from an iPhone 13. This is because the iPhone 6 has aĀ maximum iOS of 12 while the iPhone 13 is capable of receiving the latest iOS versions being released by Apple today.
Some Apple TV app update history:
