Kuo: Apple to Launch Redesigned HomePod With 7-Inch Display in 2024Apple will release a redesigned
HomePod with a 7-inch display in the first half of 2024, according to Apple analyst
Ming-Chi Kuo.
In a brief
post on Medium, 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 panels in the future.
In 2021,
Bloomberg's
Mark Gurman was
first to suggest that Apple is working on new ‌HomePod‌ models with displays and cameras. He has also reported that Apple is working on
multi-touch functionality for the ‌HomePod‌. In the long term, Apple is believed to be
rethinking its smart home strategy and is reportedly working on a
combined Apple TV and HomePod device, as well as a
HomePod with a screen 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.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup:
