Rumors are circulating that Apple might release a smart tablet designed to control your smart home as well as more smart home products in the future.
Following the announcement of its latest M2-based MacBook Pro laptops and Mac mini desktops — not to mention the new HomePod speaker – a new report claims that Apple is preparing to target the smart home market with entirely new products. Headlining the alleged expansion of Apple’s smart home lineup is a product that will give the average consumer access to the same sort of touch-based smart home command center we’ve seen from DIYers for years.
It’s no secret that Google and Amazon both dominate the smart home market at this time, and while Apple has dipped into the same pool on multiple occasions, it hasn’t made any big waves in the faces of its two massive competitors. If Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is correct, however, that may change starting next year with the arrival of an iPad-like device, something that may mark the start of a wider range of smart displays from the company.
