Throughout 2025 Apple will launch a new home device and we already know its possible design
We have known for a long time that Apple is preparing a kind of “HomePod with screen” to advance its range of home deviceswhere the company is at a clear disadvantage. This device seems quite ambitious, as it is a mix of HomePod with Apple TV, including a new operating system called homeOS and with Apple Intelligence functions.
This device could launch throughout 2025 and now its possible design has been leaked and we’re in luck. This home device with an Apple screen would have a design similar to that of the iMac G4 in “mini” version. Known to everyone as the “Little Lamp iMac”, it is considered one of the best designs in Apple history.
Apple’s next smart home display will include support similar to an old-school iMac. Apple is progressing development of its next all-new product, a smart home screen, and it might be a little smaller than expected. The device will have a square screen, I’m told, and will be about the size of two iPhones side by side. The screen is angled on a small base, reminiscent of the circular bottom of the iMac G4 from a few decades ago. The base will likely include speakers, essentially turning the device into a HomePod with a screen.

A device to control your home with a surprising design and price
Mark Gurman is the one who revealed all this information and assures that it will be the first of two devices with screen for the home that Apple is preparing. This first It will be small and designed so that users can have it in different rooms. Its price will therefore not be too expensive, even if we understand that it should cost more than the HomePod mini.
The small size corresponds to the idea that the product will be relatively inexpensive and easy to install in different rooms of the house.
This HomePod with screen It will have a new operating system that will include some applications such as FaceTime, Notes and Calendar. It is also intended to be suitable for videos and photo slideshows. Although the main purpose of the device is to serve as a hub that can control various smart home accessories. That’s why we call it “HomePod with Screen”.
But this is not the only one of these devices. As we said, Apple is also working on another high-end model with a larger screen and with a “robotic arm”, designed to follow us when we make requests. This more expensive device could cost around 1,000 dollars.
The high-end device will have a larger screen controlled via a robotic limb, a form factor designed for high-end video conferencing, media playback and smart home control. This more exclusive product, whose price will probably be around $1,000, will probably not be released until 2026.
Next year is coming and There are many things that Apple will surprise us with. Remember that at the start of the year the iPhone SE 4 is expected, which will be a real revolution, and that we are also expecting an iPhone 17 Air which could change Apple’s strategy forever. This HomePod with screen should be launched in 2025.
