According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the HomePod with screenwhich we have all been talking about this year, would not be as close as it seems, and could be delayed until the end of next year, that is, we would have practically a year left to see it in operation.
While the first rumors placed it even in 2024, it seemed that it would be in the first or second quarter of 2025 when it would finally see the light, something that we are not so clear about now, and that might not be the case, with a long way to go.
HomePod with screen, release date?
Many people, including myself, are waiting for this device, because we are looking for a HomePod, but since a more modern one is coming out, it is best to get it directly. However, it seems that we are going to have to wait, and to a certain extent it makes sense, since this new model ought come with Apple Intelligencean AI in process that is not 100% developed, and which still has a lot left.
It will be in the second quarter of the year when we will see the Spanish language included in this Artificial Intelligence, so launching a product when its software is not yet complete is crazy, and that is what Apple must have thought, which has others prepared for us launches like an Apple TV, which we also understand will be delayed.
Kuo anticipates that about 500,000 units will be manufactured during the second half of 2025. In addition, it reaffirms its previous forecast that Apple will launch a smart home IP camera in 2026, designed to connect wirelessly with a HomePod that will include a screen.
From this next 2025it seems that everything will be oriented towards Artificial Intelligence, so we will see many changes in this regard, although this will possibly also have an impact on their cost, because the needs to increase RAM, chip and other hardware will make the products that were already expensive like the HomePod or the Apple TV, increase in price, even more so if we talk about incorporating a screen that currently does not have, and with which we can turn on lights, control plugs, and home automation our home in a more sophisticated way. simple and fast.
The truth is, the HomePod with a screen looks great, but it seems that until the end of 2025 we will not have it. It makes sense, since, as we said, Apple wants everything to be perfect with its new Apple Intelligence, which is still in development. They hope that this AI will be at the center of everything and will make using the HomePod another level. In addition, they are already thinking about the future, like that IP camera that they want to launch in 2026, designed to work with the HomePod. The bad thing is that all this will surely increase prices, because more power, screens and new functions do not come cheap. Likewise, I think the wait will be worth it. Imagine controlling everything at home in a super easy and fast way. For now, we have to be patient, because it seems like they are cooking up something big. And you, what do you think of all this? Do you want to see it now?
