Will be part of Apple’s “revamped smart home strategy.”
A well-respected industry analyst has predicted that Apple will launch a HomePod with a screen in the first half of next year.
Briefly discussing Apple’s smart-home plans on Medium, Ming-Chi Kuo writes that the company “will unveil a redesigned HomePod featuring a 7-inch panel in 1H24,” and that this device “could enable tighter integration with Apple’s other hardware products.”
The lack of visual information about the track, artist, album and so on has been a long-running complaint about the HomePod, particularly when playing music via voice controls rather than an iPhone.
