Apple will first release a smaller HomePod with display, though.
Apple’s mysterious „HomeAccessory“ device whose code string was unearthed not long ago turned out to be a HomePod line spinoff of sorts, but with display, similar to the Amazon Echo Show 10 or Google Nest Hub Max.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman now confirms that insider info, but adds some more detail about the variants and the release date of Apple’s upcoming smart home gear. There will apparently be two devices equipped with screens, but they couldn’t be more different than the current HomePod or HomePod Mini.
The cheaper one with a smaller display is a project marked internally as J490 by Apple, and it will reportedly be just a squarish screen with a FaceTime camera and speakers.
