> that can remember not one, but two entirely separate cooking timers

You're in luck! Siri will do that right now. Just tried it. Works.

OMG, 2 cooking timers?! Pinnacle tech right there.

Knowing Apple, I was expecting one base timer, with every other timer being a $200 upgrade.

“How many timers can you have going at one time? […] …I had 26 timers going at once, and the only reason I didn't have more running was because I got bored.”

I wonder if the maximum number of timers is an 8 bit, 16 bit or 32 bit int.
Only one horrifically boring way to find out.
That’s not really Apple’s style. More along the lines of “HomePod mini 2 features double the RAM, allowing for exciting new features like multiple kitchen timers. Pre-orders start Friday.”
