Apple’s next HomePod smart speaker could have a screen to help it take on the Amazon Echo Show 15 and other models.
Following the surprise return of the HomePod smart speaker earlier this year, there are reports suggesting Apple could launch a new model in 2024 to take on the Amazon Echo Show.
Alongside its iPad tablets, Mac computers, and other tech, Apple also produces a range of smart speakers called HomePods, the most recent of which is the HomePod 2. The devices are very sonically capable – in our HomePod 2 review we said they deliver “mind-blowing” sound that trumps most other smart speakers, although we also noted that they feel a little too locked into the Apple ecosystem, and are pretty pricey.
The HomePod line also currently lacks an answer to the likes of Amazon’s Echo Show smart displays, which are effectively screens attached to smart speakers.
