Apple has recently rolled out software update 27.2.1 for its HomePod mini 2, but it seems the much-anticipated Siri AI functionality is not yet activated. The official Apple website still indicates the feature is slated to arrive in a future software update, yet no specific time frame has been provided. The HomePod mini 2 is equipped with only 2GB of RAM, significantly less than the 8GB minimum requirement for Siri AI.
Consequently, personal context requests will necessitate a paired Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad with Siri AI turned on. Alongside the HomePod mini 2, Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) and Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) also received tvOS 27.2.1 update today. Siri AI, an optional feature on these devices, can be enabled by accessing the Settings app, navigating to General → Siri → Siri AI (Beta).
Following the installation, a download will commence with support. However, should you decide to update to tvOS 27.2.1 without further action, Siri Classic will remain enabled by default.
