Apple's Rumored HomePod with iPad-like Screen and AI Features
Apple is rumored to be working on a new HomePod with an iPad-like screen and artificial intelligence features. This new device, codenamed J595, is expected to be a table-top device with a robotic arm and a display that can be moved and repositioned.
The device is expected to come in two versions, a high-end and a lower-end model. The high-end model will feature a robotic arm and is likely to be priced around $1000. The lower-end model will have a squarish display and is expected to be more affordable.
Both versions of the device are expected to run on a new operating system called homeOS. They will also feature Apple Intelligence, which will allow them to control smart home devices, play music, and answer questions.
The high-end model is also rumored to have a built-in camera, which will enable video conferencing and hand gesture recognition. This will allow users to control the device without using their hands.
The new HomePod is expected to be a versatile device that can be used for entertainment, communication, and home automation. It is expected to be released sometime in 2024.
