Siri AI was unveiled this summer for most Apple platforms (currently available only in betas) — but Apple TV and HomePod were left out. Fresh evidence from the tvOS 27 simulator in Xcode now strongly suggests the AI-powered assistant is on the way for Apple TV 4K this fall, potentially tied to new hardware.
Ryan Christoffel for 9to5Mac:
I’ve long assumed that Siri AI will come to Apple TV and HomePod this fall, but Apple can’t announce it yet because it will be exclusive to unreleased hardware.
And now, new evidence in tvOS 27 seemingly confirms that — at least for Apple TV.
When running Device Hub via Xcode in macOS 27, the Apps list for tvOS 27 has a new addition: Siri.
The Siri entry features a ‘com.apple.campo’ string. Prior reporting indicates ‘campos’ is Apple’s internal codename for Siri AI.
Comparing app lists for tvOS 26 and tvOS 27 simulator modes confirms that ‘Siri’ is not present in tvOS 26’s list. It’s new with tvOS 27.
MacDailyNews Take: We’re soon going to be buying a slew of new Apple TV 4K replacement units!
