Apple Reportedly Developing Smart Home Display for 2025 Launch

The rumored device could serve as a central hub for smart home control, featuring a 6-inch display, built-in camera, and advanced sensors.

Apple is reportedly designing a smart home display resembling a 6-inch tablet to enhance its HomeKit ecosystem and smart home management capabilities.
The device is expected to include features like a built-in camera for video calls, speakers for music playback, and proximity sensors for personalized interactions.
It will reportedly run a new 'homeOS' based on tvOS, combining elements of watchOS and iPhone's StandBy mode for a streamlined user interface.
The display may integrate with Apple's AI advancements, including an enhanced Siri, though a more conversational version of Siri isn't expected until at least 2026.
If successful, the device could mark a renewed focus on the smart home market for Apple, with potential plans for additional products like security cameras and other accessories.
