Apple’s big news for the end of 2024 and especially for 2025 will be Artificial Intelligence and the new Siri that will finally be useful for something, but Those of us who were hoping that our HomePods would finally be truly smart are going to have to make do with what we have now.because there will be no new Siri for them.

One of the main new features of Apple Intelligence is, without a doubt, the new Siri. Apple’s virtual assistant has been stagnant for years, some even consider that it has regressed in its capabilities lately. With Apple’s new Artificial Intelligence (AI) will come a new Siri that will finally be able to give us more appropriate and complex answers, execute orders in a more natural way and fulfill what is expected of a true digital assistant. However, Mark Gurman has been responsible for destroying all these expectations, because according to his information, Current HomePods, even the latest generation, will not have this new Siri because they do not have the capacity to run Apple IntelligenceWorse still, according to Gurman, not even the new HomePod that has been talked about lately, which would include a touch screen and which is still months away from its launch, will be able to incorporate Apple’s Artificial Intelligence.

The development of Apple Intelligence as we know it now is fairly recent, and that’s why Gurman says that not even the new HomePod that will be launched in the next few months will have the necessary hardware to be able to run it. Does that mean that there will be no AI in Apple speakers? Well, it seems that will be the case, at least until the company launch your next home product in the form of a “tabletop robot”Mark Gurman has given us few details about this new product, which will be a kind of speaker with a robotic screen that can move to follow us (very useful for video conferences, for example) and that could make affirmative or negative movements, just as we do with our heads. This will be the replacement for the HomePod, says Gurman, but it is still in an early stage of development and, therefore, we are still a long way from its presentation. Mark Gurman has not even dared to give a possible release date. So in the meantime we will have to enjoy the sound of our HomePods, and wait for Apple to do something with the next model it launches so that it can incorporate some Apple Intelligence, or its existence will be completely meaningless.
