Siri AI Still Not Enabled on HomePod Mini 2 With Latest Software Update

Apple today released HomePod software version 27.2.1, but it does not enable Siri AI on the HomePod mini 2. Apple's website continues to say the feature is "coming in a future software update," but it has not provided a timeframe.


Due to the HomePod mini 2 having only 2GB of RAM, well below the minimum 8GB of RAM required for dedicated Siri AI, personal context requests will require a paired Apple Intelligence–enabled iPhone or iPad with Siri AI turned on.

tvOS 27.2.1 was also released today, and it enables Siri AI on the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) and Apple TV 4K (3rd generation). Siri AI is an opt-in feature on these devices, so after installing the update you will need to open the Settings app and tap on General → Siri → Siri AI (Beta). This will initiate a download with support.

If you update to tvOS 27.2.1 and take no further action, Siri Classic remains enabled by default.
