From numerous leaks, we know that Apple is working on a new device called HomePad, which is a smart speaker with a small display and is designed to control a Smart Home system.

Here's What We Know

In the new issue of the weekly news digest Power On authoritative insider and journalist Bloomberg Mark Gurman reported that Apple is currently planning to release HomePad in late 2025.

The release of the novelty was originally planned for the spring of this year, but the American corporation faced problems in the deployment of Apple Intelligence, and this technology is critical for the functioning of the device.

From rumours and leaks we know that HomePad will essentially be a hybrid of HomePod speaker and iPad tablet. The device is based on a specially developed and yet to be unveiled homeOS operating system with deep Apple Intelligence integration. The gadget will get a 7″ screen and a front-facing camera for FaceTime communication.
