Title: Kuo: Apple to Launch Redesigned HomePod With 7-Inch Display in 2024 Post by: HCK on March 13, 2023, 04:05:04 pm Kuo: Apple to Launch Redesigned HomePod With 7-Inch Display in 2024
Apple will release a redesigned HomePod (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/homepod/) with a 7-inch display in the first half of 2024, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/). (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2022/01/HomePod-With-Screen.jpg) In a brief post on Medium (https://medium.com/@mingchikuo/天馬首度打入apple供應鏈-為apple再造智能家庭策略的新受益者-tianma-is-set-to-debut-in-apples-supply-chain-becoming-a-new-a3447d3e0fb9), Kuo wrote that the next-generation ‌HomePod‌'s display could facilitate deeper integration with Apple's other hardware products. Tianma apparently will be a beneficiary of Apple's "revamped smart home strategy," becoming the sole supplier of the redesigned ‌HomePod‌'s display. If its participation in manufacturing the new ‌HomePod‌ goes well, Tianma may be entrusted to supply iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) panels in the future. In 2021, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mark-gurman/) was first to suggest (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/03/22/apple-speakers-with-screens-and-cameras-report/) that Apple is working on new ‌HomePod‌ models with displays and cameras. He has also reported that Apple is working on multi-touch functionality (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/07/11/homepod-2-new-touch-interactions/) for the ‌HomePod‌. In the long term, Apple is believed to be rethinking its smart home strategy (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/08/apple-engineers-pessimistic-apple-tv-strategy/) and is reportedly working on a combined Apple TV and HomePod device (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/05/28/gurman-combined-homepod-apple-tv-in-development/), as well as a HomePod with a screen (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/04/12/homepod-ipad-with-robotic-arm/) mounted on a robotic arm. The ‌HomePod‌ already runs a variant of tvOS, but there are some indications that Apple is working on a new "homeOS" platform (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/06/02/apple-homeos-mentioned-in-job-listing/).<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: HomePod (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/homepod/)</div><div class="linkback">Tag: Ming-Chi Kuo (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/ming-chi-kuo/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: HomePod (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#HomePod)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: HomePod, HomeKit, CarPlay, Home & Auto Technology (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/homepod-homekit-carplay-home-auto-technology.193)</div> This article, "Kuo: Apple to Launch Redesigned HomePod With 7-Inch Display in 2024 (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/03/10/homepod-with-7-inch-display-to-launch-in-2024/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/kuo-apple-to-launch-redesigned-homepod-with-7-inch-display-in-2024.2383283/) in our forums Source: Kuo: Apple to Launch Redesigned HomePod With 7-Inch Display in 2024 (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/03/10/homepod-with-7-inch-display-to-launch-in-2024/) |
