Apple's HomeHub reportedly delayed by Siri until LLMs improved it, source says
Overview
A source familiar with the project told X.PIN (@thexpin) that Apple's homeOS was finished years ago, but the HomeHub was held back because Siri performed poorly as its voice-driven interface.
The source says the hardware team would not approve a device whose main interface was Siri until large language models made Siri good enough. These claims are the source's own and come from a single report; Apple has not confirmed them. The same report says HomeHub is slated for an Oct 13 unveiling alongside a smart-home push with LG.
