Leak of a new version of the HomePod in 2024
Apple is looking to change the design of its next generation of smart speakers to increase the level of demand in the market. The main difference of the new HomePod will be its 7-inch panelwhich in theory will be manufactured by the Chinese company Tianma and if it hits the market, it would be ready in early 2024.
As reported by Ming-Chi Kuo, the new HomePod will have much tighter integration into the ecosystem of Apple devices. This HomePod will be called upon to mark a significant change of course in the marketing strategy of Apple’s home automation products.
During the initial period of this year 2023, curious news began to circulate on the network indicating that Apple is planning to launch a smart home automation screen that can be mounted on the wall and which will be inspired by a combination of its flagship iPad, HomePod, Apple TV and FaceTime services. It would be a product supporting HomeKit and focused on competing with devices such as Nest Hub or Meta Portal.
Apple may bundle multiple devices into a single product. But it’s also likely that this next-gen HomePod is a completely different device than has been rumored. The truth is, it would be a real wonder if Apple’s HomePod received a complete overhaul and implemented a display capable of accessing the Home app’s HomeKit services and integrating some of Apple’s highest priority native apps.
