As noted by MacRumors, Apple is continuing work on a new HomePod model that features a curved LCD display, according to the Apple leaker and prototype collector known as “Kosutami.”
The smart speaker apparently features the same design as the current HomePod but with a curved, convex LCD screen at the top to display content. There have been previous rumors about a HomePod with a screen.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said in a March“Power On” newsletter that he expected the tech giant would unveil a redesigned HomePod featuring a 7-inch display in the first half of 2024.
“The HomePod, which equips a panel, could enable tighter integration with Apple’s other hardware products, marking a significant shift in the company’s smart home strategy,” he said.
