Apple’s ‘HomePod with a screen’ may come later in 2025

The display, which Kuo notes is expected to have a 6 or 7-inch screen and A18 chip like the current iPhone 16 line, has been rumored to be a square, magnetically mountable iPad-like device. It may run some Apple apps and Apple Intelligence, unlike the current lineup of HomePods and Apple TVs.

Kuo writes that Apple could ship between 500,000 and a million of the displays in the second half of next year. The display could be part of a new push into the smart home world by Apple. Beyond the affordable tablet-style screen, Apple’s plans may also include a pricier tabletop device with a screen on the end of a robotic arm, cameras, and potentially a TV.
