Apple's HomeHub ships only after LLMs finally improved Siri

According to a source familiar with the project, Apple's homeOS was finished years ago, but the HomeHub was held back until large language models made Siri good enough to serve as its voice-driven interface.

The hardware team reportedly refused to sign off on a device whose main interface was Siri, given its long-running poor performance. HomeHub is slated for an Oct 13 unveiling alongside a smart-home push with LG.
