Siri AI will apparently not be limited to the new HomePod mini 2, with support also coming to the first-generation HomePod mini in a software update later this year, according to a report today from CNET‘s Jeff Carlson.
“The HomePod Mini 2 also gets a faster S10 processor, which should help with processing Siri AI requests,” he said. “However, the current S5-powered HomePod Mini will also get Siri AI compatibility later this year, along with updates to iOS 27.2.”
Fine print on Apple’s website does not mention this detail, at least as far as we have seen, so we have reached out to the company for comment.
For the Apple TV 4K, Apple’s fine print did mention that Siri AI support will extend back to the second-generation Apple TV 4K from 2021, but we have not found any explicit fine print mention about Siri AI coming to the HomePod mini (1st generation).
Apple said setting up Siri AI on the HomePod mini 2 will require a paired iPhone or iPad model with Apple Intelligence support.
A paired device iPhone or iPad with Apple Intelligence support is also required for any requests involving a user’s personal context, according to Apple. However, once Siri AI is enabled on the HomePod mini, the company said that even users without an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad can access Siri AI’s broad world knowledge, richer and more natural conversations, and improved music discovery.
HomePod mini 2 launches on Friday, October 30, with pre-orders underway. It has an S10 chip, up from the S5 chip in the previous model.
