Joining these three additions, Apple has bigger tvOS 27.2 updates launching soon.

Coming soon: Siri AI and surround sound with HomePod

When Apple introduced its new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini earlier this month, it outlined a couple new Apple TV features that will be available soon as part of tvOS 27.2.

One is Siri AI, Apple’s big overhaul to Siri that until now has been absent from Apple TV. You’ll be able to get Siri AI on Apple TV 4K 2nd gen and later. Apple says:

Siri AI is a profoundly more capable and conversational assistant with personal context understanding, broad world knowledge, and the ability to take even more systemwide app actions, making it effortless to find entertainment.

Additionally, the new 4th gen Apple TV 4K will exclusively support a surround sound HomePod feature in tvOS 27.2. The new capability lets you use four compatible HomePods as two front and two rear speakers for what Apple calls “the ultimate audio experience.”
