HomePad setup process seemingly revealed, sharing feature with iPhone Duo

A leaker, who previously discovered iPhone Duo features in Apple's code, has now found similarities in the HomePad's setup process. The upcoming device's setup will be managed through the Home app, accompanied by three screen captures provided by the leaker. Apple's StandBy mode offers various options to transform the iPhone into a functional display while charging.

Previously, leaker pdfu shared five unannounced StandBy views for the iPhone Duo found in the device's Xcode simulator. One of these options is Photo Face, which pdfu confirms will also be present in the HomePad. The setup process involves the device pulling in a few high-resolution photos that users can select immediately while the complete photo library downloads from iCloud.

Apple's Smart Home Hub is anticipated to debut on October 13, featuring a design inspired by the iMac G4.
