Apple’s ongoing software plans are delaying its screen-equipped HomePod, which is expected to enter mass production later this year.
Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said on social media that Apple’s display-equipped HomePod will enter mass production after this year’s WWDC event. The analyst echoed the claims made around three months back when Kuo said the device’s mass production had been pushed from Q1 2025 to Q3 2025.
Kuo might be hinting at the rumored smart home hub, which is expected to feature an iPad-like display on top of a speaker unit. The device has reportedly been pushed multiple times for various reasons, including delays in software development and the lack of advanced Siri features.
However, there is more to the speaker’s extended timeline than Apple Intelligence.
