Apple Begins Development of HomePod With Screen and HomePod With Built-in Apple TV [Report]

Posted May 28, 2021 at 3:21pm by iClarified
Apple has reportedly begun development of two new devices - a HomePod with a screen and a HomePod with a FaceTime camera and Apple TV functionality.

Bloomberg reports...

As part of its broader home, audio and accessories strategy, Apple has also begun early development of a HomePod speaker with a built-in screen as well as a device that combines the features of a HomePod, FaceTime camera and Apple TV, Bloomberg News has reported. Competition for speakers with screens is already widespread. Apple released a HomePod mini speaker last year and outlined a minor update to the Apple TV set-top box last month.


Amazon has long dominated the smart display business with its line of Echo Show devices. While Apple's iPad Pro can function as smart display of sorts, a standalone device would likely be popular with customers and help Apple expand its Smart Home presence. A HomePod/FaceTime/Apple TV device could also appeal to customers who use video conferencing a lot.

It's unclear when or if we'll see these devices get launched but we'll let you know if we spot any further leaks or rumors. You can download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for updates.
