Apple is reportedly preparing a big smart home launch: New smart display, HomePod on the way
Apple is reportedly gearing up for a big push into the smart home space, with a new HomePod and smart display coming in October.
Apple is set to unveil a major smart home product lineup in October, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The new devices will include a smart display, HomePod, and Apple TV, functioning as a showcase for the company's AI assistant, Siri. Gurman revealed that the display will serve as a hub for the smart home, offering personalized responses based on recognizing individual household members.
The Apple Post dubbed the display the HomePad, though the official name remains undisclosed. This announcement comes after Apple's new CEO, John Ternus, debuted a new generation of iPhones in September. The last refresh for Apple's HomePod speaker series was in January 2023, while Apple TV has been in need of an update since 2022. The new devices are expected to debut on October 13.
