Despite a snub at WWDC, it has long been expected that Apple will implement Apple Intelligence features in the HomePod and Apple TV. The beta of tvOS 27 suggests the addition is coming soon.

Apple did update tvOS at WWDC 2026, but chiefly to give it a reworked Podcasts app and AI-generated subtitles. Neither Apple TV nor HomePods got their time in the keynote spotlight, but that doesn’t mean they won’t shortly see significant updates.
Apple TV and HomePod were left out of the WWDC keynote because more time was given to Siri AI. Now, though, it appears that Siri AI may be coming to both of them.
