Apple Intelligence said to be coming to Vision Pro, but not HomePod
Apple Intelligence — the personal intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — combines the power of generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence that’s useful and relevant to the user.
Apple Intelligence is reportedly in the works for the Vision Pro, but, weirdly, not for the voice-controlled HomePod, Mark Gurman reports for Bloomberg News.
Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
When Apple Intelligence was unveiled earlier this month, it was only promised for the Mac, iPhone and iPad. But there’s another device primed to get it: the Vision Pro headset. I’m told that Apple is actively working on bringing the features to the device, but it won’t happen this year. From a technology standpoint, the headset has more than enough memory (16 gigabytes) to run the technology. And the features, including notification prioritization, writing tools, an OpenAI chatbot and the new Siri, make sense for the headset — especially if Apple continues to position the Vision Pro as a device for getting work done and handling computer tasks.
Hartley Charlton for MacRumors:
Gurman does not expect the HomePod to offer Apple Intelligence, instead focusing on “an entirely new robotic device with a display that includes Apple Intelligence at its core.” Apple Intelligence requires a minimum of eight gigabytes of memory, but the HomePod and HomePod mini only feature a single gigabyte of memory. The current HomePod is said to be “too low-volume a product to waste the engineering time” bringing Apple Intelligence to the device.

MacDailyNews Take: Ironically, it’s HomePod that so desperately needs some intelligence — any intelligence — at all!
