Apple is preparing to introduce updates for its Apple TV and HomePod mini this fall, as reported by Mark Gurman in his Bloomberg newsletter. The updates have been in development for several months and are currently being tested by Apple employees at Apple Park. While the Apple TV is expected to receive a chip upgrade and potentially a new remote, its external design will remain largely unchanged. The HomePod mini will also undergo internal enhancements, including an upgrade to a newer chip, while maintaining its familiar spherical appearance. These updates are strategically timed to coincide with a significant revamp of Siri and new features related to Apple Intelligence. Although the updates are primarily focused on performance improvements, they are anticipated to enhance the overall functionality of both devices, making them more compatible with upcoming software advancements.
