The long-awaited Apple "HomePad" is set to launch on October 13th, according to a recent report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The device, code-named J490, is believed to be the centerpiece of Apple's smart home strategy. Alongside the HomePad, Apple will reportedly release an updated HomePod mini and a new Apple TV 4K Box. The HomePad is rumored to feature a 6-inch display that can be placed on a countertop or mounted on a wall.
It will connect to speakers and microphones via a round metal base and a metal arm, allowing users to adjust the screen's angle. The device will rely on USB-C for power and won't come with a built-in battery, meaning it needs to stay connected to a power source. The HomePad will run an interface similar to the iPad, with a two-panel layout for apps like Messages and support for intercom-style calls.
It will also support voice and facial recognition, personalizing responses and content for individual users. However, these details are based on reports and not official information, so Apple's own announcement will provide the definitive details about the new smart home devices.
