Although we have spent many months of a new product by Apple, a Homepod with screenmore intelligent and attractive than the current ones, everything indicates that it will not be this year when it will finally come out, although we believed, quite clearly, that it would be.
And there is a reason for postpone itlike other products, such as the Apple TV of 2025, which continues in the air and could take the same path as homepod, so we will try to explain the reasons, and try to foresee when they will really come out.
Intelligent homepod for 2026
Until now, what we know about this device is that it will be similar to a homepod screen, it will have a screen between 6 and 7 inches and use the A18 chip, compatible with Apple Intelligence. It can be placed on a speaker base or hang on the wall. It will allow to control lights and other home devices, make Facetime video call and, if an optional camera is added, also serve as a security system.
However, Gurman (one of Apple's best information filter journalists) would have announced his delay, at least until 2026, although he was the one who told us that we would have it in 2025.
All this is due, in part, to the delays in Siri's functions, since The Homepod, as well as the Apple TVand other devices that were going to renew this year, were marked by the improvements they would have when incorporating Apple Intelligence, and a new artificial intelligence (Sir) improved and with more functions.
The fact that this is not going to happen, makes its launch delay, since we would not have major changes with respect to current models, and everything is only based on Siri and their improvements.
In March, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted that the Homepod with a screen would begin to be manufactured in mass in the third quarter of 2025. But as Siri's new functions are not yet readyIt is not clear if that plan is still standing, since its production may be maintained, because at the hardware level it remains planned, however, unable to launch it soon (for not having Siri in full, as they would like), we do not know what they will do.
For now it is time to wait, since everything could change with a good update of Siri, although everything indicates that the expectations, both of Apple and its users, are not going to be met, and is going much slower than we believed, so even We could see this homepod at the end of 2026and not even in the first quarter. At the moment we will try to be patients, and any novelty, we will tell you. However, if you were waiting to get you, I'm sorry you will have to wait for something else.
And you, do you think Apple is having many delays with respect to its AI, something that other competitors have much more advanced (such as Chatgpt or Gemini), or are they normal deadlines that you already thought they would happen like this? Leave us a comment with your opinion about it.
