Are you ready for a smarter Siri in your living room? The anticipation is palpable as Apple hints at the integration of generative AI software into their devices, promising an enhanced Siri experience. But here's the catch: the current HomePod, the trusty companion to many, won't be receiving this upgrade. Why is Siri, the heart of Apple's smart home hub, left behind? Let's dive into the whispers surrounding the next HomePod and how this speaker could revolutionize the smart home experience.
The new AI features require an A17 Pro chip, currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Even Macs and iPads need at least an M1 chip to run the AI software. The HomePod, on the other hand, relies on Apple Watch chips, with the main speaker sporting an S7 chip and the mini an S5. This technological gap raises a crucial question: What does the future hold for the HomePod?
Rumors suggest that a new HomePod is on the horizon, and it might come with a twist—a screen. The idea of a screen-equipped HomePod has been buzzing for a while, with analysts predicting a 7-inch screen version. Imagine an Amazon Echo Show or a Google Nest Hub, but with the Apple touch. There are even hints of a TV OS interface for a touchscreen in the latest developer beta of TV 8.
Could this be a hint at a new Apple home accessory? Bloomberg reports that Apple is working on a device that combines Apple TV with a HomePod. But what if Apple takes a different route? A patent revealed by Apple Insider showcases a bar design for an audio speaker system, suggesting multiple versions of HomePods tailored to different needs.
With the launch of tvOS 18 later this year, we might see these new devices surface, complementing the new iPhone. The urgency is real; having two different kinds of Siri in the home could be cumbersome.
So, what's your dream HomePod design? Leave a comment below. Personally, I'm holding out for something small, without a screen, or perhaps a HomePod mini transformed into a MagSafe charging stand combo for my iPhone. That's my dream HomePod.
Join me next Friday for another deep dive into the world of Apple and its innovations. Until then, keep your HomePod close and your curiosity closer.
