Apple has just released tvOS 27.2.1 for Apple TV 4K and HomePod 27.2.1 for HomePod models, here’s what’s new.
Siri AI comes to select Apple TV 4K models in tvOS 27.2.1
Two new software updates arrived today for Apple Home devices:
- tvOS 27.2.1
- HomePod 27.2.1
tvOS 27.2.1 is the latest update for Apple TV 4K. And while the version numbering might make it appear very minor, it introduces a major new feature: Siri AI support.
Siri AI arrived as part of today’s Apple TV 4K (4th gen) launch. But as confirmed by this support document, the new Siri is also now available on select older Apple TV 4K models (2nd gen and 3rd gen)
We don’t yet have details on the changes introduced in HomePod 27.2.1. But it’s possible Siri AI is included for HomePod mini 2.
When HomePod mini 2 launched late last month, Apple said Siri AI would arrive that update
However, without any prior announcement from Apple, it seems more likely that the software simply includes bug fixes and performance updates for HomePod. We’ll keep you posted if we are able to confirm Siri AI’s arrival.
