Apple's Upcoming Smart Display: What to Expect

Ever wondered what a HomePod with a screen might look like? Well, it might not arrive until the third quarter of 2025, according to an Apple supply chain analyst named Ming-Chi Kuo. Previously, the release was rumored for March 2025. This new smart display is expected to have a screen size of about 6 to 7 inches, similar to the current iPhone 16 line, and will run on an A18 chip. Imagine a square, magnetically attachable device that looks like a smaller iPad. Unlike the current HomePods and Apple TVs, this device might run Apple apps and have Apple Intelligence.Think about it: a device that combines the functionality of a HomePod with the visual interface of an iPad. It could revolutionize how we interact with our smart home devices. But why the delay? It's possible that Apple is taking extra time to perfect the device's features and ensure it lives up to their high standards.
