Apple TV and HomePod mini updates wait on Siri upgrade
Apple's home hardware, specifically the Apple TV and HomePod mini, is expected to receive updates this fall. The Apple TV will get a performance boost, while the HomePod mini will gain more features, both tied to an upgrade for Siri.
Key Takeaways
- Apple TV is due for a performance boost in the fall update.
- HomePod mini will gain more features, not just a minor refresh.
- Both hardware updates depend on an upgrade for Siri.
- Apple's home hardware shake-up is expected this fall.
