Apple is announcing the long-awaited HomePod Mini 2 with a new chip that can power Siri AI — but support for those new AI features won’t be available at launch. Up to four can also pair with the new Apple TV 4K for surround sound. However, the Mini 2 won’t ship with Siri AI at launch; instead, Apple says it will arrive in a later software update.
