  "textContent": "On a live Q&A call today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple is planning to release a new full-sized HomePod alongside new HomePod mini and Apple TV models.\n\n\nGurman reiterated that updates to all three products are on hold until Apple releases its more personalized version of Siri later this year. The revamped assistant is expected to debut in iOS 27, which will be available in beta starting in June and should be released to all users with a compatible iPhone in September.\n\nAccordingly, new HomePod, HomePod mini, and Apple TV models should be released this year.\n\nIn his _Power On_ newsletter last weekend, Gurman said new versions of the Apple TV and HomePod mini at a minimum have been \"ready\" since last year, and on the call today he explicitly said \"yes\" to a new full-sized HomePod coming as well.\n\nInventory of the Apple TV, HomePod mini, and full-sized HomePod is once again \"running low\" at Apple's retail stores around the world.\n\n\nEarlier rumors claimed the next Apple TV would be equipped with the A17 Pro chip, which is the oldest chip that supports Apple Intelligence. The device is also expected to feature Apple's N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread.\n\nAs for the HomePod mini, it is expected to use an Apple Watch's S9 chip or newer, but it is not entirely clear how that chip would be capable enough to support the revamped Siri powered by Apple Intelligence. Other rumored features include the N1 chip, improved sound quality, a newer Ultra Wideband chip, and a red color option.\n\nThe current Apple TV 4K debuted in October 2022, and the HomePod mini was introduced in October 2020, so both devices are due for upgrades.\n\nThe full-sized HomePod was last updated in January 2023. There have been no rumored upgrades for it yet beyond support for the revamped Siri.\n\nRelated Roundups: Apple TV, HomePod, HomePod mini\n\nTags: Bloomberg, Mark Gurman\n\nBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Don't Buy), HomePod (Neutral), HomePod Mini (Don't Buy)\n\nRelated Forums: Apple TV and Home Theater, HomePod, HomeKit, CarPlay, Home & Auto Technology\n\n\nThis article, \"New HomePod Expected Alongside Updated HomePod Mini and Apple TV\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
