I’m wondering if the HomePods will get the new AI or if we will have to wait for a new device…
New Siri was not announced for existing HomePods. That said, there is an Apple event on Sept 9, so more products that support it may be announced.
Most folks are not expecting Apple intelligence on existing HomePods or AppleTVs. It would be very Apple-like to gate the new software behind a new hardware purchase.
