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.
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.
It's a Christmas miracle: some customers who ordered the iPhone Duo through Apple and received an estimated January 25 delivery date saw their delivery windows move up to December 14 to December 21 today, according to comments posted in the MacRumors Forums and on X. A few customers have even seen their delivery date move from January 25 to December 12 to December 14.
Apple's online store still shows a January 25 delivery date for iPhone Duo orders placed today.
Apple today shared an in-depth look at how it's using Secure Exclaves to protect camera and microphone data on the HomeView, iPhone 18 Pro, and other products.
Apple describes Secure Exclaves as compartmentalized runtimes that process camera and microphone data while isolated from the rest of the operating system. Data processed in Secure Exclaves is not available to the rest of the OS, apps, or Apple, but processing can take advantage of the full application processor. Secure Exclaves power sensitive features involving video and audio feeds:
HomeView - The HomeView uses facial and voice recognition to identify up to six people in a home. The exclave also protects the LED camera indicator on the device.
Siri Recap and Live Rewind - Record ambient sound for conversation recaps or to caption the last 15 seconds of someone speaking.
iPhone 18 Pro/iPhone Duo - Protects the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and Duo on-screen camera and microphone indicators. Also works with "Hey Siri" to protect voice data.
MacBook Neo - Protects the MacBook Neo camera indicator.
Apple uses the HomeView as an example of how Secure Exclaves work. The device performs passive minimal visual processing continually to detect whether a person is in its field of view. The HomeView sends a continuous stream of camera frames to a camera exclave, which works alongside a person recognition exclave with face and voice recognition models and an identity database. When a person comes into view, the camera exclave detects the person and lets the main OS know that a person may be present, but no image data leaves the Secure Exclave. An audio exclave does the same thing with audio.
The person recognition exclave matches face and voice prints against the identity database of enrolled users, giving a confidence score. The OS gets the person identifier, position, and confidence level, but not any of the actual audio or video. These simple signals are used to activate personal features like Calendar and Messages that depend on identity, with raw sensor data discarded.
Secure Exclaves came about because Apple needed a secure option for ambient video and microphone monitoring, with the groundwork laid starting in iOS 18. Apple devices use indicators for situations where the camera and microphone are actively engaged, but Apple says they weren't ideal for ambient sensing because they would be on all the time. Always-on lights wouldn't give users a way to distinguish between background sensing and active audio and video recording.
There are two modes for a Secure Exclave: ambient mode and active mode. In ambient mode with no indicator, a sensor can respond to triggers, but it only shares small amounts of metadata with the rest of the system. In active mode, full sensor data is given to the operating system, and an indicator informs the user that the system has audio and video access.
Apple has long used indicators, but they are now backed by Secure Exclaves. Secure Exclaves make sure an indicator is active before data is allowed to be transferred from the exclave to the rest of the OS.
Apple built an isolated computing environment that could handle ambient sensing, and the company says isolating memory for Secure Exclaves was a "serious engineering challenge." Full technical details on the process can be found on Apple's security website.
With the HomeView set to start arriving to some users in just a matter of hours, Apple has released a new HomeView Software 27.2 update.
The software has a build number of 24V526, and it is the second 27.2 update Apple has released for the device.
Customers receiving the HomeView this week will need to install a software update during the setup process. The HomeView ships with HomeView Software 26.5, which is approximately six months old.
Apple planned to release the HomeView earlier than November 2026 but held back because it wanted to debut Siri AI in iOS 27 first.
Apple today said it plans to release a HomeView software update to fix a Siri AI issue that prevents Siri from controlling smart home products like locks, but that update isn't coming until next month. It's likely the Siri AI issue will be addressed in HomeView 27.3.
Update: Apple's security support document says the software update addresses several vulnerabilities, including issues with AirPlay, Messages, and Bluetooth.

Mac and iPad trade-in values stay at the levels introduced in October, including maximum estimates of $2,560 for the Mac Pro and $915 for the iPad Pro.
Apple also introduced more detailed condition grading in September, improving offers for devices with minor cosmetic defects that previously received deductions similar to those applied to more serious damage.
Actual trade-in offers depend on the device's condition, year, and configuration. Through Apple Trade In, eligible devices can be exchanged for credit toward a purchase or an Apple Gift Card, while devices without trade-in value can be recycled for free.

In a post on his Truth Social platform today, U.S. President Donald Trump said he thinks that Apple's chairman Tim Cook should become Nvidia's CEO.
Nvidia today announced that Jensen Huang has resigned as the company's CEO effective immediately following reports that he had two extramarital affairs, including one that the U.S. government believes involved a spy working for the Chinese government. Nvidia has appointed its CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO.
Nvidia's board of directors has initiated a search for a new CEO and said that it will consider both internal and external candidates.
Cook stepped down as Apple's CEO on September 1 as part of a planned transition, and he now serves as the company's executive chairman.
There is no indication that Cook actually wants to be Nvidia's CEO.
Apple today shared its annual holiday season ad, in which a young man rediscovers his creativity after receiving a MacBook Neo as a gift from his parents.

Nintendo will stop allowing users to sign in to their Nintendo Account with an Apple or Google account on January 26, 2027, the company has announced.
Users will also no longer be able to create a Nintendo Account through either service. Nintendo has not explained why it is removing the options, but notes that the exact cutoff could be delayed depending on the progress of its system updates.
After the change, users will need to sign in with their Nintendo Account email address or Sign-In ID and password, or use a passkey. Nintendo says users who are already signed in on a device may not need to sign in again immediately.
Anyone who usually signs in through Apple or Google should check that they know their Nintendo Account login details before the deadline. Those who have never set a password, or have forgotten it, can select "Forgot your password?" on the Nintendo Account login page to request a reset email.
Users who chose to hide their email address with Sign in with Apple may have an Apple-generated relay address registered with Nintendo. Messages sent to that address are forwarded to their personal inbox. Nintendo advises anyone who can no longer access their registered email address to contact its support team.
Nintendo also recommends registering a passkey, which allows users to sign in using their device's fingerprint or facial recognition system instead of a password. The My Nintendo Platinum Points mission for linking a Google account will be discontinued as part of the change.

In her HomeView review shared in a free edition of her New Things newsletter today, tech journalist Joanna Stern said Siri AI once told her "I don't have a camera to see you," even though the device has a camera. Apple confirmed to Stern that it plans to release a software update in December with a fix for this issue.
Siri AI also refused to open Stern's garage door or unlock her front door, even though the HomeView recognized her. Apple told her that the software update coming next month will enable this functionality. In the meantime, you can unlock door locks and garage doors by opening the Home app on the HomeView and tapping on-screen controls.
"Today users recognized by HomeView can unlock security accessories, including door locks and garage doors, directly on their HomeView screen," an Apple spokesperson told Stern. "With a software update next month, this will extend to Siri AI, giving users more ways to manage security accessories once they've been recognized."
HomeView launches this Friday, with U.S. pricing starting at $299. We also shared our own hands-on review video with our own impressions.
Barbera spent the past week testing the HomeView and has shared his impressions, so be sure to watch our video above to hear what he thinks.
As a refresher, the HomeView features a 7-inch square display connected to an aluminum speaker base by a stainless steel tilting hinge. Apple says it is ideal for a kitchen counter, nightstand, or side table. You can use the device to interact with Siri AI, control smart home accessories, go on FaceTime video calls, listen to music, and more.
Preinstalled apps on the HomeView include Alarms, Calendar, FaceTime, Find My, Home, Intercom, Messages, Music, Podcasts, Reminders, Safari, Settings, Timers, Weather, and World Clock. The device does not have an App Store, but it does support CarPlay-enabled audio and video apps, such as Apple TV, Spotify, and Apple Music Classical.
In the U.S., both the tabletop and wall-mounted versions of the HomeView are priced at $299, but you will also need to purchase a mount if you opt for the wall-mounted version. Apple sells three mounts priced between $59.95 and $129.95.
Apple today announced that select Apple Home Collection accessories will be available to order starting Friday, November 13, with availability beginning in December. Apple did not say exactly which accessories can be ordered tomorrow, so stay tuned.
Introduced alongside Apple's new HomeView smart home hub last month, the Apple Home Collection is a new lineup of smart home accessories that LG and Schneider Electric designed in collaboration with Apple. There are indoor and outdoor cameras, thermostats, temperature sensors, a video doorbell, and a door lock.
All of the Apple Home Collection accessories work with the HomeView:
LG Video Doorbell ($249.95) - The Video Doorbell has dual cameras that capture views of visitors and packages. The front camera has a 2.5K resolution and the bottom camera is full HD resolution. It has a built-in spotlight and a chime that plays through HomeView, HomePod, or HomePod mini.
LG Outdoor Cam ($299.95) - The Outdoor Cam has low-light color night vision and can be angled in multiple positions.
LG Indoor Cam ($199.95) - The Indoor Cam has a privacy-preserving feature that allows it to tilt up when people are in the home so it's not recording, and down when people leave for keeping an eye on the home. The tilt function works based on geofencing, but can also be controlled in the Home app or manually.
LG Floodlight Cam ($399.95) - The Floodlight Cam has dual floodlights that activate when motion is detected and low-light color night vision.
LG Smart Deadbolt Lock ($349.95) - The lock has Ultra Wideband and can unlock automatically when the homeowner approaches, with no tap required. It also supports unlocking via PIN or a hidden backup key slot, and there is detection for whether the door is opened, closed, or has been tampered with. The doorbell and lock can work together as one, letting users see who is at the door and unlocking it if needed.
LG Thermostat ($199.95) - The thermostat supports Adaptive Temperature and in the U.S., heating and cooling can be activated during lower-cost periods for users with a compatible utility plan. The thermostat can read temperature and humidity across multiple rooms using separate temperature and humidity sensors. Sensors are priced at $39.95.
Schneider Electric Thermostat ($199.95) - Also supports Adaptive Temperature and can be used with temperature and humidity sensors. Sensors are priced at $39.95.
Sony is pulling the plug on a mobile spin-off of one of the PlayStation's best-known franchises before its worldwide launch. "Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble" adapted the long-running series into a free-to-play multiplayer shooter for iOS and Android.
The game reached the UK, Canada, France, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Indonesia, and the Philippines, but never launched in the U.S. Development has now stopped, with App Store downloads ending on November 21, 2026. Existing players can continue until May 1, 2027, when the servers close and the game becomes unplayable. In-app purchases have already been disabled, and the Super Pass is now free.
Apple's chief hardware officer Johny Srouji is being considered as a potential successor to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as the chipmaker's board prepares to remove its co-founder, according to Semafor.
Citing a person familiar with the matter, the publication identified Srouji as one of the people under consideration for Nvidia's top job. It is unclear if Srouji has yet been approached or expressed interest in leaving Apple.
Nvidia has reportedly hired an outside firm to identify potential replacements for Huang, according to Bloomberg. The succession discussions follow reports of multiple extramarital affairs involving Huang, including one with a woman reportedly suspected of spying for China. Some directors apparently favor appointing chief financial officer Colette Kress as interim CEO if Huang is removed.
Srouji's emergence as a possible candidate comes just months after a substantial expansion of his responsibilities at Apple. In April, Apple promoted him from senior vice president of hardware technologies to chief hardware officer alongside the announcement that John Ternus would succeed Tim Cook as CEO. Srouji took over the hardware engineering organization previously led by Ternus while retaining oversight of Apple's custom chips and other hardware technologies.
The promotion followed uncertainty about Srouji's future at Apple. In December 2025, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Srouji had told Cook he was seriously considering leaving for another company. Cook was reportedly trying to retain him with increased compensation and broader responsibilities. Srouji subsequently told employees that he did not plan to leave "anytime soon."
Srouji helped lead the Mac's transition to Apple silicon, and his hardware technologies organization also oversees areas including cellular modems, cameras, displays, sensors, and batteries. Srouji joined Apple in 2008 to lead development of the A4 chip after holding senior processor development and design roles at Intel and IBM. He was also reportedly considered for Intel's CEO position in 2019, although that role ultimately went to Bob Swan.
Apple on Tuesday abruptly placed the Apple Support Community into a read-only state and announced that the forums will be permanently closing on Friday, November 20. Those who contributed to the site — some for more than two decades — were blindsided by this decision and had no chance to post farewell messages.
Even if you felt the Apple Support Community contained too many generic or unhelpful answers from users trying to boost their post counts and earn points, the people volunteering their time to the site still deserved a proper goodbye.
Below, we have highlighted some of those people and their experiences.
Jeff Donald from Florida was a member of the Apple Support Community since November 2000, when the forums were still known as Apple Discussions. This past year, Apple recognized his efforts by inviting him to the Apple Community+ program, which launched in 2022 and provided members with a few extra perks and experiences.
Leroy Douglas was a member since July 2009. He said he was a bit shocked to see Apple's sudden announcement, but he saw the writing on the wall.
Here is a fun fact that you might not have known: In addition to English, Tobias Steen in Germany said there were also Apple Support Communities in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. For some reason, the French and German versions do not have closure notices, but we are told they will meet the same fate.
The forums brought together people of all ages, from 16-year-old Evan Bato Rousseau in France to 83-year-old Nobel Prize winner Sir Tim Hunt in England, who told us he found it to be a helpful resource, even if some of the answers were wonky.
John Daniel, the Canadian developer of macOS diagnostic tool EtreCheck, said he was active in the Apple Support Community for more than two decades. Users like him who reached "Level 6" or higher based on their contributions received access to The Lounge, a private category of forums where Apple employees sometimes participated.
Prior to 2020, John said Apple occasionally hosted in-person meetups for Support Community members, including a special visit to Apple Park.
"I don't agree with comments that so many are making about the Apple Support Community right now," he said, in response to those who described it as useless. "We regularly solved problems, identified significant issues with Apple projects, traced the cause of bugs and fixed them, and always learned new things. That's what I'm going to miss."
Elías Rojano Núñez of Chile participated in the Spanish forums. He told us that he found it deeply satisfying when he was able to help others, and he was saddened that the Spanish forums were shuttered without any advanced notice, but he is grateful for the opportunity that he had and will always value the interactions he had with fellow contributors.
Rojano Núñez shared a photo of some of the items he received from Apple over the years, including a 5-year Apple Support Community anniversary pin. There were also 10-year, 15-year, and 20-year pins. Over the years, merchandise given out included Apple-branded hats, shirts, tote bags, and even umbrellas once.
Whatever its shortcomings, the Apple Support Community was more than just a place to ask questions. For some, it was a place to belong.
To that, we say goodbye and thank you, not good riddance.
