Apple Plans Smart Home Display Inspired by Iconic iMac G4 Design

The new device will feature a square display with a circular base, echoing the beloved early 2000s design, and is expected to launch next year.

The smart home display will have a square screen the size of two iPhones, mounted on a base reminiscent of the iMac G4.
Apple's new device aims to combine the functionality of an iPad and a HomePod, featuring built-in speakers and a touchscreen.
The device will run a new operating system, supporting apps like FaceTime, Notes, and Calendar, and will serve as a hub for smart home controls.
A more advanced model with a larger screen and robotic arm is reportedly in development, targeting a 2026 release with a higher price point.
Apple is positioning the device to be competitively priced, enabling users to place multiple units throughout their homes.
