Which Apple Home Devices Get Siri AI, and When

There's been some confusion about which of Apple's new and existing home devices will support Siri AI and when, because ‌Siri‌ AI isn't going to be available at launch on some products.

Apple TV 4K 4th Generation Top View5

Devices With Siri AI

  • HomeView - Available at launch (November 13)
  • Apple TV 4K (4th generation) - Available at launch (November 13)
  • Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) - Available in tvOS 27.2
  • Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) - Available in tvOS 27.2
  • HomePod mini 2 - Ships October 30, ‌Siri‌ AI coming in a future software update

Despite a report from CNET suggesting the first HomePod mini would support Siri AI, Apple has since confirmed that's not the case.

Siri AI Requirements

On the ‌HomePod‌ and Apple TV 4K models that support ‌Siri‌ AI, the home owner in the Home app must have an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad on the latest version of the software. ‌Siri‌ AI has to be turned on, and it has to be set to a supported language. Other members of the household don't need an Apple Intelligence-enabled device once ‌Siri‌ AI is turned on, except for personal requests.

HomeView does not require an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or ‌iPad‌ for ‌Siri‌ AI, except for requests that use personal context.

‌Siri‌ AI for HomeView, ‌Apple TV‌ 4K, and HomePod mini 2 is English only and is limited to the United States, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and the UK at launch.

EU Restrictions

‌Siri‌ AI is not available in the EU on the iPhone and ‌iPad‌, so ‌Siri‌ AI won't be available for home devices that support it. HomeView isn't even launching in the EU.

Siri AI Beta

Apple is still calling ‌Siri‌ AI a beta, and it will be in beta when it's available on HomeView, ‌Apple TV‌ 4K, and ‌HomePod mini 2‌.

All of them could with passing it on to a local iPhone that has the new Siri capability. They’re doing it on the new HomePod mini 2 and on the new and older Apple TV 4K. But Apple has chosen to artificially gate things off while pretending to love their customers.

It’s kind of embarrassing that "Siri AI" is still labeled “beta” after so many products are released built around it.
Exactly. didn't they learn with the iphone 16 (buy this to run new Siri and new AI.

Now they are selling more products based on the latest Apple AI, that is still in beta and has many operational issues. In fact many folks with the newest watches have revert back to Classic Siri, because the new Siri is problematic to use.

I don’t know about anyone else but I usually don’t like to use beta software on a device I rely on daily to “just work”.

It’s embarrassing that Apple Intelligence/Siri AI has been in beta for 2 years now.

Not to mention this is now a 5 trillion dollar company that are developing these features.

What in the world is going on??
