Apple’s Long-Delayed Smart Home Plans May Finally Start to Take Shape This Fall
The new models are expected to use faster processors and add support for Siri AI, with no major design changes planned.
- On Tuesday, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple is preparing to launch a refreshed Apple TV 4K, an updated HomePod mini, and a new smart home hub built around Siri AI over the coming months.
- Rather than introducing major redesigns, Apple will retain the existing look for both the Apple TV and HomePod mini while adding faster processors capable of running Siri AI features.
- The rumored smart home hub features a 7-inch display with facial recognition designed to identify users and adjust information based on distance for easier viewing.
- While the Apple TV and HomePod mini are "nearly ready to launch" this fall, the smart home hub's release depends on the company's next-gen Siri experience, potentially arriving between October and early next year.
- These products signal Apple's renewed effort to challenge Amazon and Google in the smart home market, with the company also reportedly designing its own security camera for release soon.
