Apple announced that Siri AI will gain support for Chinese (Traditional), Norwegian, Turkish, and Vietnamese later this year. The feature initially launched with English-only support in September. Since then, support for French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish was added with iOS 27.2. These updates expand Siri's global reach as Apple continues rolling out language capabilities throughout 2026.
Apple also today announced the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, featuring an A19 chip and updated Siri Remote with Find My support. The A19 chip delivers up to 50% faster CPU performance. The new Siri Remote includes Precision Finding and built-in far-field microphones. The device supports surround sound with multiple HomePod pairs.
A new HomePod mini 2 was also announced, equipped with Siri AI and a new S10 chip. It features computational audio optimization and a "Sound Glow" visual indicator that animates with audio. The speaker optimizes dynamic range and acoustic performance in real-time, offering new color options and enhanced surround sound capabilities.
Apple seeded the release candidate of iOS 27.2 for developers this week. The update arrives roughly a week after the fourth iOS 27.2 beta. Registered developers can download the beta through Settings > General > Software Update, continuing Apple's iterative software release cycle.
