Apple is reportedly developing next-generation HomePods with advanced features. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, these smart home devices will boast iPad-like displays and artificial intelligence capabilities.
The high-end model, codenamed J595, will feature a flexible robotic arm, allowing the screen to move and reposition. This device is expected to include a built-in camera for video conferencing and hand gesture recognition. Priced around $1000, it will introduce Apple Intelligence to home.
A lower-end version is also rumored, powered by the A18 chip and featuring a squarish display. Both devices will run on Apple’s newly developed homeOS and support various apps. Users can expect an optimized interface for controlling home applications, media playback, and AirPlay reception.
The upgraded HomePods will significantly enhance Apple’s smart home offerings, providing users with a central hub for entertainment, communication, and home management.
