Why Is “Hey Siri” Functionality On The Mac Mini Apparently Not Working?
A reader of this blog pointed me towards a Reddit thread and a MacRumors thread where people are complaining about this:
Given that Apple Intelligence and a better Siri experience are part and parcel of macOS Sequoia, and the Mac mini is Apple’s gateway into getting more Macs into the hands of more people, this is really bad.
Another data point. The same reader who tipped me off to this has confirmed that on his M4 Mac mini, when Apple Intelligence is on, he has to click on the Siri/Apple Intelligence button, then the mic icon, and then he can talk to Siri. If Apple Intelligence is off, he clicks Siri and he can talk right away. That implies bug to me.
What I am guessing is that Apple only likely tested this on the Studio Display and figured that it was job done at that point. I say that because some people with Mac mini’s and Studio Displays have confirmed that this is working as intended. Clearly Apple needs to do better QA before releasing stuff to their customers. The bottom line is that you can add this to the growing list of bugs with macOS Sequoia which includes Time Machine issues, and display issues which appear to be a design choice that Apple didn’t tell anyone about.
Apple really has lost the plot when it comes to software quality.
