Summary
Apple is reportedly preparing to launch updated versions of the Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini later this year, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Both products have been ready for months and are being tested internally at Apple's Cupertino headquarters. The launch delay is attributed to pending AI features for Siri that were announced at WWDC 2024 but have not yet been deployed. Apple is facing lawsuits over the delay, including a recently settled false-advertising lawsuit. The new devices are expected to feature performance improvements and support for enhanced AI-powered Siri capabilities.
