Recent updates to the Apple website suggest that the full-size HomePod may soon support Siri AI features. The company updated the product description for the white HomePod, which now explicitly mentions a multi-colored glow on the top surface indicating the presence of Siri AI functionality.
Apple also confirmed that the upcoming HomePod mini 2 will be equipped with Siri AI capabilities. However, these features will not be available at the time of the device's initial launch. The company plans to enable the functionality through a future software update.
To process requests involving personal user context on the HomePod mini 2, the device will require a connection to an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence. This dependency highlights the integration strategy Apple is employing for its AI features across its hardware ecosystem.
