Apple is believed to be expanding its smart home offerings with a variety of new products, according to a report by 9To5Mac. The company is reportedly working on refreshed versions of existing items, including the HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K, as well as a new smart-home hub with a display. This device, known internally as "HomePad," could arrive between October and early 2027 in two versions: a wall-mounted display or a speaker-based design.
The new hub would feature a 7-inch display, a new operating system called homeOS, and likely run on an A18 chip. Apple is also developing its first dedicated smart-home security products, including a camera and smart doorbell. Additionally, a larger HomePod update with a newer chip for Siri AI is in the works. The company's goal appears to be building a comprehensive smart-home platform rather than merely updating a few existing products.
