Siri AI is coming to HomePod with audioOS 27

Code in HomePod Software 27 reveals Linwood, the system behind Siri AI, along with new status lights in Siri AI's white, blue and orange palette. Since Siri AI isn't available on existing HomePods, support may require new hardware, with an updated HomePod mini expected as soon as October.
