Apple Delays Smart Home Hub to Late 2026, Waiting on AI-Upgraded Siri

Apple's smart home hub, targeted for a Spring 2025 reveal, has slipped to October 2026 or early 2027, aligning with iOS 27's release cycle, per Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Apple won't ship the 7-inch display device until its AI-upgraded Siri is ready — the same Siri delays that have repeatedly pushed the product back.
