Top Stories: Apple's New Software Approach, iPhone Duo-Optimized Apps, and More
Apple's wild past few months are finally starting to slow down with the last of the big hardware launches coming this week. Meanwhile, developers are continuing to optimize their apps for the all-new form factor of the iPhone Duo and Apple looks to shake up its internal iOS and macOS development to give engineers more time to explore and develop new features within the existing update cycles, so read on below for all of the details on these stories and more! Top Stories Apple Taking New Approach to Developing iOS 28 and macOS 28 Apple has made a change to its development process for iOS 28, macOS 28, and corresponding software updates, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter this week, he said Apple separates development of each year's new operating systems into three major stages. Typically, he said each stage consists of four weeks of coding followed by a four-week "convergence" period where new features are integrated into the operating systems. This time around, Apple has made a change, extending the coding period of each stage to six weeks and compressing the convergence period to two weeks, giving engineers more time to come up with and explore ideas before having to lock them in. The change could allow Apple to move more quickly on feature development, part of a general shift toward trying to become more nimble under new CEO John Ternus. 'Apple Support Community' Permanently Closing on November 20 Apple this week abruptly announced that the long-running Apple Support Community discussion forums will be permanently closing on Friday, November 20. Effective immediately, the Apple Support Community forums are in a read-only state, with new posts no longer being accepted. Longtime members of the community were blindsided by the move and left without an opportunity to post farewell messages to others in the community. Apple Says More Than 100,000 Apps Optimized for iPhone Duo, Here's What's Still Missing Apple last week announced that more than 100,000 apps have been optimized for the iPhone Duo, delivering full compatibility with the device's inner and outer displays. Despite the volume of apps that have been updated, a number of high-profile apps have yet to be optimized, but more and more are being updated each day. The new form factor of the iPhone Duo opens up new possibilities for app functionality and layouts, and we've shared several rounds of fun new apps, innovative games and utilities, and more. Hands-On With Apple's New OLED Touchscreen MacBook Pro, HomeView Smart Home Hub, and Apple TV Apple's long-rumored MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display is now in the hands of customers, and we've shared our initial impressions of Apple's first touchscreen Mac. The touchscreen functionality arrives as part of a new display based on OLED technology, and the machine is significantly lighter than previous models while also delivering a number of other improvements. And yes, the long-lost lighted Apple logo on the lid has made a return! In addition to the new MacBook Pro, we've also gone hands on with the just-launched HomeView smart home hub and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K box. Apple Store Subscription Sign-Up Controversy Exposed In a series of YouTube videos shared over the past few weeks, electronics technician and consumer rights advocate Louis Rossmann has exposed a controversy in which some Apple Store employees have allegedly signed up customers for auto-renewing subscription trials for Apple One and other services without their informed consent. Apple has historically tracked the "services attach rate" for retail employees, leading some to feel pressure to push the limits on signing customers up for trials without getting clear permission. Apple has recently removed the attach rate metric for retail employees, though the company has said it is because the metric is less relevant for the holiday season when users are more often buying as gifts rather than for themselves, but the timing of the change is certainly convenient given the recent publicity. Apple Releases iOS 27.2.1 With Bug Fixes Apple this week released iOS 27.2.1 and related updates, delivering a number of security-related updates and other unspecified bug fixes. tvOS 27.2.1 also arrived on Friday, bringing Siri AI to 2nd- and 3rd-generation Apple TV 4K boxes. The releases come as much more substantial 27.3 updates remain early in beta testing ahead of public releases next month.

HomeView Tidbits: Mirror, Sleep Timer, and Other Details
Apple's HomeView is out today, and we're finally learning all the little details about the new hub. We've rounded up a list of tidbits for those setting up a HomeView or thinking about getting one. Sunglasses Apple says the HomeView probably won't recognize you if you have your face covered, including when wearing sunglasses. If HomeView isn't identifying you, Apple suggests removing anything that would block the camera from seeing your face. The HomeView's screen needs to be angled toward your face, you need to be centered in the frame and closest to the camera if other people are around, and the HomeView can't be blocked by overhanging shelves and cabinets. Apple says the HomeView needs front-facing, even light. Mirror There's a "Mirror" in the HomeView Control Center that lets you use the camera to see yourself. There's an option to turn on an edge light for face illumination, along with 1x and 2x zoom. Guest Controls The HomeView owner has multiple options for what guests can access. Safari can be turned on or off, or adult websites can be blocked. By default, guests can use Siri for general knowledge, writing help, and math help, but ‌Siri‌ features can be turned off. Explicit content can be turned on or off. There's an option to choose which Apple Music subscription supplies music for an unrecognized user. Wi-Fi/Cellular The HomeView authenticates people through face recognition and by making sure their iOS device is nearby, recently unlocked, and on the same Wi-Fi network as the HomeView. If there's a Wi-Fi outage, Apple says cellular can also be used to unlock personal content as long as it's in the same location and was recently on the Wi-Fi network. Sleep Timer You can set a sleep timer on HomeView to pause whatever media is playing when the timer goes off. No Buttons There is no button to turn the HomeView on or off, or restart it. It can be restarted from the Settings app or by briefly unplugging it. Logins You can log into websites and apps using your iPhone, similar to how the Apple TV works. Notifications The HomeView only has notifications for phone calls and home devices, with an option to toggle on critical notifications. There are no other notification settings or options. Liquid Glass The transparency of the Liquid Glass interface can be adjusted from clear to opaque like on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Personal Data Lockouts If someone tries to repeatedly access personal content on HomeView that needs authentication, facial recognition via the camera is disabled and you'll need to prove identity with a registered device.Related Roundup: Apple HomeViewBuyer's Guide: HomeView (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Siri AI Still Not Enabled on HomePod Mini 2 With Latest Software Update
Apple today released HomePod software version 27.2.1, but it does not enable Siri AI on the HomePod mini 2. Apple's website continues to say the feature is "coming in a future software update," but it has not provided a timeframe. Due to the HomePod mini 2 having only 2GB of RAM, well below the minimum 8GB of RAM required for dedicated Siri AI, personal context requests will require a paired Apple Intelligence–enabled iPhone or iPad with Siri AI turned on. tvOS 27.2.1 was also released today, and it enables Siri AI on the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) and Apple TV 4K (3rd generation). Siri AI is an opt-in feature on these devices, so after installing the update you will need to open the Settings app and tap on General → Siri → Siri AI (Beta). This will initiate a download with support. If you update to tvOS 27.2.1 and take no further action, Siri Classic remains enabled by default.Related Roundup: HomePod mini 2Tags: Siri, Siri AIBuyer's Guide: HomePod Mini (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Releases tvOS 27.2.1 With Siri AI for Older Apple TVs
Apple today released tvOS 27.2.1, an update to the tvOS 27 operating system that launched in September. tvOS 27.2.1 comes nearly three weeks after Apple released tvOS 27.2. tvOS 27.2.1 brings Siri AI support to the 2nd- and 3rd-generation Apple TV 4K models, but it is available for all ‌Apple TV‌ 4K models that support tvOS 27. Apple announced ‌Siri‌ AI for the ‌Apple TV‌ when debuting the 4th-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K. A separate tvOS 27.2 build activates ‌Siri‌ AI on the newest set-top box, but the older ‌Apple TV‌ 4K models will need the tvOS 27.2.1 update to get access. ‌Siri‌ AI is the smarter, more capable version of ‌Siri‌ that Apple introduced earlier this year. ‌Siri‌ AI can play content, draw on personal context to offer suggestions, answer world knowledge questions, and complete tasks. Using ‌Siri‌ AI on the ‌Apple TV‌ requires a paired Apple Intelligence-compatible iOS device, which includes the iPhone 15 Pro and later. ‌Apple TV‌ users can download tvOS 27.2.1 by going to Settings > System > Software Update. Apple has also released a new HomePod Software 27.2.1 update for the ‌HomePod‌ and ‌HomePod‌ mini.

Microsoft 365 Outage Resolving After Nearly 24 Hours
The ongoing Microsoft 365 outage is resolving after nearly 24 hours. The company said the underlying issue has been fixed and it is seeing "broad recovery and stability" across its services as it works to restore access to customers. The Microsoft 365 downtime started at approximately 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday. Customers could not access their Outlook email or use some features in Teams and Copilot. Exchange accounts in Apple Mail were also affected. Most calling, meeting, and messaging functions stayed online, but some users ran into errors scheduling meetings or adding calendar entries. Businesses, educational institutions, and governments worldwide were impacted by the outage. Microsoft apologized for the outage and said it was unrelated to a cyberattack or AI agents. It was caused by an issue introduced in an earlier network capacity upgrade. Microsoft said it will give a full incident report after completing a review. We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident has caused our customers and partners. We know the trust they place in our services and take that responsibility extremely seriously. We are seeing broad recovery and stability across our services. This was a technical issue not related to cyber or AI / agents. The incident was introduced by an issue during an earlier network capacity upgrade that surfaced following a recent network change. We have addressed the underlying issue and continue to restore service to remaining customers and regions. Given the scale of demand, we restored services gradually, validating stability at each stage. While this took longer, it helped ensure a stable restoration. We will provide a full post-incident report once our review is complete. Just over two weeks ago, Microsoft announced plans to eliminate thousands of jobs. The company offered voluntary buyouts to 60,000 people, or a quarter of its global workforce, presumably to cut costs while its AI spending grows. Microsoft's Service Health Status page still says some services may be unavailable at the current time.Tag: MicrosoftThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone Duo Survives 450,000 Folds, but Hinge is Weakening
For the last three weeks, CNET has been stress testing the iPhone Duo's hinge on a livestream. After over 451,000 folds, the hinge is showing signs of wear. CNET says the hinge started feeling looser at the 390,000-fold point, and by 440,300 folds, there was enough of a shift in the mechanism that the screen didn't open in full before the machine closed it again, and there was no distinctive snap. It is 5 to 10 degrees from the fully open state and can be opened fully by hand. The wire we use to open the phone screen would withdraw before the screen was in the fully open position, but it would then sort of "coast" the rest of the way down. But between 12:30 and 1 a.m. this morning, around 440,300 folds, the screen would no longer have time to open all the way before the Fold-a-Phone caused it to close again. The ‌iPhone Duo‌ hasn't been removed from the folding machine, and the test is continuing. CNET says the device is still operational and maintaining other screen positions, with no signs of cracking or other failure. The site plans to continue folding the ‌iPhone Duo‌ until it hits predetermined failure conditions that include loss of power, sensors failing to detect the screen properly, and screen blackout. Apple hasn't shared the results of ‌iPhone Duo‌ hinge testing it likely did internally, or given an estimated fold lifespan. The ‌iPhone Duo‌ is equipped with OLED panels sourced from Samsung Display, and Samsung's screens have undergone certified third-party fold testing. The display used for the Galaxy Z Fold7 passed a 500,000-fold durability test. Apple probably isn't using an off-the-shelf Samsung display, but CNET's testing already suggests the ‌iPhone Duo‌'s ‌OLED‌ panel is on track to match. The combination of the display and the strength of Apple's hinge design will determine lifespan. At around 450,000 folds, the ‌iPhone Duo‌ would last over a decade at 100 folds per day. CNET's livestream will continue until the ‌iPhone Duo‌ fails. The livestream runs on weekdays from 10 a.m. Pacific until 2 p.m. Pacific.Related Roundup: iPhone DuoBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now)Related Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

The MacRumors Show: HomeView and Apple TV 4K First Impressions
On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we share first impressions of Apple's new HomeView and Apple TV 4K, including their hardware, everyday usefulness, and experiences with Siri AI. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos Following a week with the HomeView, Apple's new smart home device makes a strong impression with its build quality and sound, but leaves questions about how much it adds to a household already filled with Apple products. Its overlap with existing devices has already prompted some skepticism. The 7-inch display may feel smaller in person, with its square aspect ratio and thick bezels contributing to an appearance reminiscent of a large Apple Watch. Sound quality from the tabletop model is a highlight, falling between the HomePod mini and full-sized ‌HomePod‌. That also raises questions about the value of the wall-mounted version, which costs the same $299 before mounting accessories but lacks the larger speaker base. In the kitchen, setting timers, playing music, answering questions, and controlling smart home accessories provide straightforward reasons to use the HomeView. Turning web recipes into clean, step-by-step instructions with ingredient checklists is a particularly useful example of where the software is designed around its setting. Elsewhere in the home, its purpose can be less obvious, especially at a desk already surrounded by screens. Review: Is Apple's All-New HomeView Smart Home Hub Worth $299? Personalization is another promising part of the experience. The HomeView's face recognition can switch quickly between household members, bringing up the correct person's apps and information even when two people are standing beside one another. The interface combines familiar elements from Apple's other platforms, but that familiarity also invites questions about whether it feels sufficiently tailored to the home. Messaging and browsing are available, yet typing on a stationary display may be something users do only occasionally. The HomeView has no App Store, instead supporting compatible third-party audio and video apps through a connected iPhone or iPad, just like CarPlay. Video playback offers some flexibility for watching something at a kitchen counter, bedside, or desk, although widescreen content occupies a small portion of the square display. Hands-On With the New Apple TV 4K and Siri AI The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K provides noticeably faster navigation and animations thanks to the A19 chip. Its built-in microphones make hands-free ‌Siri‌ convenient when the remote is missing, including while TV audio is playing. The updated ‌Siri‌ Remote's speaker also makes finding it around the room easier. Support for four-speaker ‌HomePod‌ surround sound provides another reason to consider the new ‌Apple TV‌, particularly for users who already own compatible speakers. We weigh up the appeal of expanding an existing ‌HomePod‌ setup against buying a dedicated home theater system, and consider whether these additions justify the ‌Apple TV‌'s new, higher starting price of $299. ‌Siri‌ AI is a major part of both new products, and its expanded capabilities come with familiar frustrations. More complex questions and requests involving personal context can work, but long waits and inconsistent results can interrupt the experience. Our discussion also touches on occasions when simple tasks, such as adding reminders, prove less reliable than expected, despite the assistant's broader abilities. The MacRumors Show has its own YouTube channel, so make sure you're subscribed to keep up with new episodes and clips.

Apple Meets Thai Officials Over iPhone Spyware Warnings
Apple met with Thai officials earlier this week to discuss spyware warnings received by politicians and other users in the country, Bloomberg reports. The discussions followed Apple's October 29 threat notifications, which reached users in 99 countries. Apple told Bloomberg that it issued the warnings after identifying activity consistent with mercenary spyware attacks, raising concerns about surveillance of Thai political figures. After meeting Apple representatives, Thailand's Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaichanok Chidchob said that the alerts alone do not establish that attackers gained access to the recipients' devices. Authorities also had no evidence connecting the attempted intrusions to Pegasus, the surveillance software made by NSO Group. Thailand was previously the subject of a documented Pegasus campaign. A 2022 investigation by Citizen Lab, working with Thai organizations iLaw and DigitalReach, confirmed infections affecting at least 30 people between October 2020 and November 2021. Those affected included activists, academics, lawyers, and others connected to the country's pro-democracy movement. Apple's warnings to Thai users in November 2021 helped initiate that investigation, with recipients contacting researchers for assistance. Apple has been issuing threat notifications since 2021, reaching users in more than 150 countries overall. The company says mercenary spyware operations devote substantial resources to targeting particular individuals, often because of their profession or public role. According to Apple's threat notification guidance, its warnings reflect high confidence that a user has been targeted, although detection cannot provide absolute certainty. Apple withholds details about how it identifies attacks to prevent operators from adapting their techniques, and its notifications do not attribute responsibility to particular attackers or regions. Recipients are advised to enable Lockdown Mode and obtain specialist help. A genuine warning can also be checked by signing in directly to account.apple.com.Tags: Bloomberg, ThailandThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Says HomeView Sets New Record in Design-Focused Interview
TechRadar's Jacob Krol interviewed Apple's Vice President of Hardware Engineering Matthew Costello about Apple's all-new HomeView smart home display, which is available starting today. The discussion was largely focused on the HomeView's design, with Costello touching on the device achieving a display-related record for Apple products. Specifically, the HomeView's display brightness can automatically go down to just 0.3 nits, which is a record low for any Apple product. This ultra-low brightness makes the HomeView especially ideal for a bedside table at night. "I really love the fact that this is the lowest light performance we've ever engineered into a product, so it's down to 0.3 nits," said Costello. "So officially, I represent the most dim product ever inside of Apple," he quipped. For comparison, some other Apple products like the latest iPhones and iPad mini are advertised as having a minimum 1-nit display brightness. HomeView's maximum display brightness is 500 nits. Unsurprisingly, Costello said the HomeView is designed for the home (truly shocking) and Siri AI. "It really was constructed around Siri," he said. "We really custom-built this user interface for the home, so the apps and experiences that matter most in the home setting are really front and center," he added. "There's no logging in, logging out, which is super cool. It recognizes you and your information, and when you step away, it's gone."

King Charles to Join Elton John's Apple Music Radio Show
King Charles III will join Elton John on Apple Music 1 this Saturday for a special episode of "Rocket Hour" marking 50 years of The King's Trust. The episode premieres at 9 a.m. GMT on November 14, the King's 78th birthday. Recorded during his October visit to ‌Apple Music‌'s London studios, the conversation covers the musicians and fundraising concerts associated with the charity throughout its history. Charles and John discuss performances at venues including Wembley Arena and the Royal Albert Hall, as well as artists who received support from the charity early in their careers. Muse, for example, used a grant to buy sound equipment when the band was still called "Rocket Baby Dolls," before eventually returning to raise funds for the organization with a Royal Albert Hall concert in 2018. The episode's music selections also include Raye and Skye Newman. The recording coincided with the introduction of Apple x King's Trust Creative Labs, an education initiative offering young adults practical experience with creative technology. The program brings together up to 20 participants aged 18 to 30 for workshops exploring potential careers, with the first sessions held in October focusing on music and creative industries. Apple has supported the charity since 2019, providing technology and coding education resources through its existing programs. The partnership is also developing materials to help educators and young people build their understanding of AI. Charles previously visited Apple's UK headquarters in December 2024, where young people supported by the charity demonstrated coding projects. The London recording facilities were announced in September alongside Apple Music Hall at Battersea Power Station. The expansion combines new radio studios with a 600-capacity performance venue that can capture concerts in Spatial Audio and produce video for broadcasts. John has hosted "Rocket Hour" since 2015, using the show to introduce listeners to emerging artists alongside established acts. Charles previously worked with ‌Apple Music‌ on "The King's Music Room," a March 2025 broadcast recorded at Buckingham Palace in which he shared songs by Commonwealth artists and explained their personal significance. The new special will air for free on ‌Apple Music‌ 1, with additional broadcasts at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. GMT on Saturday. Sunday repeats include broadcasts on both ‌Apple Music‌ 1 and ‌Apple Music‌ Hits at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. GMT.Tag: Apple MusicThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Major Microsoft 365 Outage Continues
The worldwide Microsoft 365 outage continues, leaving users unable to access email and disrupting features in Teams, Copilot, and other services, although Microsoft says recovery efforts are making progress. Issues emerged on Thursday, November 12, with nearly 130,000 Outlook reports recorded on Downdetector shortly after 1 p.m. Eastern, according to the Associated Press. The disruption extended to businesses and government operations, with Japan confirming a significant impact on government IT systems. Exchange Online is at the center of the incident. Microsoft's service health page says affected users may have trouble opening mailboxes through Outlook on the web, desktop, and mobile. Messages may also be delayed. Exchange accounts accessed through other clients such as Apple Mail are also experiencing problems because the disruption involves Microsoft's underlying infrastructure. Similarly, the disruption has reached third-party AI services that connect to Microsoft accounts. The outage is also interrupting Microsoft 365 features that rely on Exchange. Copilot chats may fail, and the assistant may be unable to retrieve work emails, calendars, or files. Microsoft has identified additional problems involving Planner, To Do, administrative tools, and some SharePoint functions, although files stored directly in SharePoint remain accessible. Microsoft Teams is not entirely offline. Microsoft says that most calling, meeting, and messaging functions remain available, but users may encounter errors when scheduling meetings, handling invitations, or editing calendar entries. Some contact and channel management features are also affected. Microsoft's latest update said repairs across parts of the Asia Pacific region were improving mailbox access and helping delayed emails move through the system. The company is extending that work to other regions and adding capacity, but some users may still experience intermittent failures. Microsoft has increased the email timeout window to 48 hours to help protect delayed messages while backlogs clear. It says it has found no evidence of malicious activity and has not provided a deadline for full restoration.Tags: Microsoft, Microsoft OutlookThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Launches Two Products Today
Apple is releasing two new products today, Friday, November 13: the all-new Apple HomeView and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, both of which have been available to pre-order since mid-October. Apple HomeView: Apple's new smart home display, powered by Apple Intelligence with Siri AI, for entertainment and managing the home. Available in tabletop and wall-mounted models, it can recognize up to six users by face, each with a personalized Home Screen. The HomeView is priced at $299. Apple TV 4K: adds Siri AI, the A19 chip, an updated Siri Remote with Find My, and support for four-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2. The Apple TV 4K comes with 128GB of storage and is priced at $299.Both products were announced on October 13 alongside the HomePod mini 2, which launched October 30. As things stand, HomeView is not sold in the European Union because Siri AI is currently unavailable on iOS in the region due to regulatory constraints. Apple has said it is "working constructively with the EU in an attempt to find a path forward," but has provided no timeline for EU availability.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Hands-On With the New Apple TV 4K and Siri AI
The 4th-generation Apple TV 4K with an A19 chip and Siri AI support is available starting on November 13, and we were able to spend some time with it ahead of launch. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. ‌Siri‌ AI is the headline feature, and while it's not perfect, it works better than the prior version of ‌Siri‌. ‌Siri‌ was able to pull up multiple movie and TV show recommendations and answer questions about content. Apple says ‌Siri‌ AI is in beta, and there's more work to be done. ‌Siri‌ AI wasn't great at answering follow-up questions, and only did so part of the time. There are far-field microphones in the set-top box, so you can just say "Hey ‌Siri‌" to activate ‌Siri‌ without having to use the remote. The ‌Apple TV‌ can recognize up to six people, so you can get personalized recommendations and context when talking to ‌Siri‌. The person who sets up the ‌Apple TV‌ needs to have an iPhone or iPad that supports ‌Siri‌ AI for ‌Siri‌ AI to work on the ‌Apple TV‌, and personal context also requires each user to have their own ‌Siri‌ AI-compatible device. The 2nd- and 3rd-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K models will get ‌Siri‌ AI with the upcoming tvOS 27.2.1 update. Apple didn't change the design of the ‌Apple TV‌ 4K or update the look of the ‌Siri‌ Remote, but the remote does have new capabilities. It has a speaker built in so you can have it play a sound when it's lost, and Precision Finding is available if you have an iPhone Air, iPhone Duo, or iPhone 17 and later (excluding iPhone 17e). The tvOS interface feels faster with the A19 chip, and it should be better for games if you play Apple Arcade titles on your TV. You can also pair four HomePod speakers to the ‌Apple TV‌ for surround sound, a feature that's unique to the latest model. Unfortunately, Apple is charging $299 for the 4th-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K. It's twice as expensive as the prior-generation version was at this same time last year, and that's a wild increase. It's probably not worth upgrading if you already have a 2nd- or 3rd-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K, but if you have something older, it might be worth paying the money to get the new features.Related Roundup: Apple TVTag: SiriBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Buy Now)Related Forum: Apple TV and Home TheaterThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Siri AI Coming to Older Apple TV 4K Models in tvOS 27.2.1
An upcoming tvOS 27.2.1 update will bring Siri AI to the 2nd- and 3rd-generation Apple TV 4K models, according to Apple. A support document outlining ‌Siri‌ AI requirements across Apple products says tvOS 27.2.1 supports ‌Siri‌ AI on the ‌Apple TV‌ 4K (2nd generation and later), but the software hasn't yet been released. While older ‌Apple TV‌ models will need tvOS 27.2.1 for ‌Siri‌ AI, Apple appears to have a special ‌Siri‌ AI build of tvOS 27.2 for the 4th-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K. Reviewers were able to test ‌Siri‌ AI on review units, and we can confirm it's working on our own review unit running tvOS 27.2. The 4th-generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K ships with tvOS 27.0, and users are prompted to update it to tvOS 27.2 during the setup process. Apple hasn't said when tvOS 27.2.1 will be released with ‌Siri‌ AI for older ‌Apple TV‌ 4K models, but it could come as soon as Friday. The latest ‌Apple TV‌ is priced at $299, and it features an A19 chip and an updated ‌Siri‌ Remote that has a Find My speaker and Precision Finding support. ‌Siri‌ AI on the ‌Apple TV‌ requires a nearby paired ‌Siri‌ AI-enabled device like an iPhone 15 Pro or later.Related Roundup: Apple TVTag: SiriBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Buy Now)Related Forum: Apple TV and Home TheaterThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

HomeView Launch Kicks Off as First Orders Reach Customers
Apple announced an all-new home product a month ago, and it's now starting to arrive to customers. It's Friday, November 13, in Australia and New Zealand, which means it's the HomeView launch day. Customers who pre-ordered Apple's new home hub will soon be sharing pictures and first impressions on the MacRumors forums, Reddit, Instagram, and other social media networks. If you got a HomeView, let us know what you think in the comments below. Apple sees HomeView as the center of the home, and functionally, it's a cross between a small iPad and a HomePod. It has a 7-inch square display and the tabletop model has a speaker base, though there's also a wall-mount version. With a camera and voice recognition, it can identify up to six people in a home, showing personal information customized to each user. There is no HomeView App Store, but it has pre-installed Apple apps and can show widgets from your iPhone. It can be used for making video calls, watching videos, viewing calendar events, getting the weather, listening to music, and controlling smart home devices. It is built around Siri AI, Apple's smarter voice assistant that debuted in iOS 27. The HomeView is priced at $299, but if you want the wall-mounted version, you need to buy extra mounting hardware. There are no Apple Stores in New Zealand, so customers in Australia will be the first to walk into an Apple Store to purchase the new device. We are not expecting shortages. The new Apple TV 4K is also launching on November 13, and it can be purchased for $299. The latest ‌Apple TV‌ has an A19 chip, 128GB of storage, Wi-Fi 7 support, and the option to connect four HomePods for surround sound. It also supports ‌Siri‌ AI. HomeView is launching in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, the UK, and the United States. It is not available in the European Union because ‌Siri‌ AI is unavailable. ‌Apple TV‌ 4K is launching in the U.S. and 29 other countries and regions.Related Roundup: Apple HomeViewBuyer's Guide: HomeView (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
