Siri AI Update: Does Your Old Apple Device Make the Cut?
14 Oct
Summary
- New Siri AI features are coming to older Apple TV and HomePod Mini models.
- Fourth-gen Apple TV 4K and HomePod Mini 2 offer faster processors for AI.
- HomeView and certain iPads will also receive Siri AI capabilities later this year.
Apple is rolling out its new Siri AI capabilities, with top-tier upgrades found in the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K and HomePod Mini 2, boasting faster processors. However, owners of existing second- and third-generation Apple TV 4K models can anticipate Siri AI compatibility later this year. Similarly, the current HomePod Mini will also receive Siri AI support.
The new HomeView smart display and specific iPad models, including iPad Pro, iPad Air (M1 and later), and iPad Mini (with A17 Pro chip), are also slated to gain Siri AI functionality. These features, particularly personalized experiences on the HomeView, will rely on a nearby, unlocked iPhone or iPad with Apple Intelligence support.
This approach allows Apple to extend its AI features to current hardware, potentially saving consumers from immediate upgrades. For those seeking enhanced Apple TV performance or expanding their smart home setup, new hardware may still be appealing. However, users with existing Apple home devices can await the Siri AI integration without immediate hardware purchases.
