Apple is reportedly delaying the launch of its new HomePod and Apple TV 4K due to ongoing issues with the updated version of Siri. Originally anticipated for a 2025 release, these devices are now expected to be unveiled alongside enhanced Siri capabilities, which have been pushed to iOS 27.
Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has indicated that these products are linked to new artificial intelligence features, with a planned introduction in September. The Apple TV 4K has not seen a refresh since 2022 and is expected to incorporate an A17 Pro chip, while the new HomePod mini might feature an updated chip from the Apple Watch, in addition to the N1 networking chip.
Despite previous rumors about the devices, no announcements were made during Apple's early 2026 launch event, which focused on products like the iPhone 17e and MacBook Neo. As of now, Apple aims to resolve Siri reliability issues before the release of the new home hub and related products.
