Apple 确认 Siri AI 仅支持 HomePod mini 2，初代 HomePod mini 无缘
Apple confirms Siri AI is not coming to the original HomePod mini - 9to5Mac
Apple 向 9to5Mac 确认，Siri AI 仅支持 HomePod mini 2 以及 Apple TV 4K（第二代及后续机型），不会下放到初代 HomePod mini。此前 CNET 报道称现款 S5 芯片的 HomePod mini 将在今年晚些时候随 iOS 27.2 获得 Siri AI 兼容，随后已发布更正。初代 HomePod mini 发布已有六年，S5 芯片对 AI 任务而言过于老旧。

HomePod mini; Siri AI
Siri AI is a tentpole addition to HomePod mini 2, but a CNET report today originally claimed Siri AI was coming to older HomePod mini models too. However, the story has since been updated with a correction and 9to5Mac received a statement confirming Siri AI will be exclusive to HomePod mini 2.
Apple says Siri AI will be exclusive to HomePod mini 2
Earlier today, CNET published a report saying that Siri AI is coming to the older HomePod mini. It originally claimed: “the current S5-powered HomePod Mini will also get Siri AI compatibility later this year, along with updates to iOS 27.2.”
This news seemed unlikely given there’s no evidence on Apple’s website or press releases of HomePod mini 1 supporting Siri AI. Add to this, Apple did explicitly say that Siri AI will come to certain older Apple TV 4K models, and included no such assurance for HomePod mini owners.
CNET ultimately updated its article with a correction saying that Siri AI won’t come to older HomePods. This aligns with what Apple told 9to5Mac.
Apple confirmed to 9to5Mac that Siri AI will only be available on HomePod mini 2 as well as Apple TV 4K (2nd generation or later).
The first HomePod mini debuted six years ago, so this isn’t surprising news. The S5 chip is very dated for AI tasks, as evidenced by Apple Watch models requiring much newer chips for Siri AI support.
Would Siri AI support change your HomePod mini 2 upgrade decision? Let us know in the comments.
