On the latest episode of The MacRumors Show, we delved into the latest rumors swirling around Apple’s upcoming “Home Accessory” product, which is anticipated to hit the market as early as next year. Apple has been working on a smart home display product that resembles an iPad for over a year. This device is expected to function as a smart home hub, incorporating features from the iPad, HomePod, and Apple TV, such as video playback and AirPlay.
According to reports, the smart home display will likely be powered by the A18 chip and run a variant of tvOS, similar to the HomePod. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has mentioned that it will support Apple Intelligence and run Apple apps like Calendar, Notes, and Home, with a user-friendly interface optimized for controlling home appliances and accessing information quickly.
The most recent rumors hint that the device could sport a “squarish display” to differentiate it from the iPad. Additionally, it may come equipped with a built-in camera for FaceTime, hand gesture recognition, and user detection for personalized requests.
