When will Apple Watch and Apple TV get Apple Intelligence?

So far, as Apple Intelligence features slowly dribble out over time, devices like Apple TV and Apple Watch don’t yet support Apple’s AI entry, and some are beginning to wonder when that will change.
Filipe Espósito for 9to5Mac:

When will Apple Intelligence arrive on Apple TV and Apple Watch? Unfortunately, probably not very soon – and there are two reasons for that.
First, Apple Intelligence is being rolled out in phases. The first phase introduced Writing Tools and text summarization. The second phase enabled things like Genmoji and Image Playgrounds, as well as the integration of ChatGPT into Siri. For the third phase, which is expected to be released by spring, Siri will gain onscreen awareness and be able to control actions between apps.
But there’s a second important reason: hardware. As I said before, Apple Intelligence requires the latest chips since almost everything is processed on-device for better privacy. Unless Apple creates lighter language models for Apple TV and Apple Watch, current hardware wouldn’t be able to support Apple Intelligence in its current state.

MacDailyNews Take: Once Siri really meets Apple Intelligence and becomes more useful with onscreen awareness and the ability to control actions between apps, we bet Apple will quickly have newer faster chips in Apple TV (and HomePods) to take advantage of it. Apple Watch may need to wait a bit longer give the physical constraints of the device, but it;ll get there eventually.
