The idea of the company is to have a virtual assistant based on Artificial Intelligence with which we can control the gadgets in our home, see the security cameras, or simply interact with that new Siri that would make our daily lives much easier, asking it, for example, to show us the weather of the week.
Apple’s new screen assistant
Many, upon seeing the prototype, may think that it is something similar to Amazon’s Echo Show and Alexaand in a way yes, it is similar, although Apple’s functions will be much greater, because it will have artificial intelligence, something that, for now, we do not see in other brands, and that will completely change the way we use These products, although interesting today, do not seem so intelligent, at least when we leave the 4 usual commands.
The rumors come from Mark Gurman, who already talked about this product, as we said, months ago, but who mentions it again, this time with some more detail, such as a square screen and a fairly small size, although this could be due to the price, and it is not necessary to have a large monitor, since we are not going to watch a movie on it, and it will be more to display data, real-time videos from cameras, etc., so reducing this could also reduce your costsince we are talking about a HomePod with a screen, which could raise its price to 399 euros, so Apple does not want it to be even higher, which could limit its sales.
This product could have many uses, from being used as FaceTime to make calls (a camera on it would be interesting), to using the calculator at a specific moment, or listening to some music, not only would the speakers be used to receive answers. It would be, as we said, something very similar to an Echo Show, but much more advanced.
At the same time, Apple would be working on a Pro version of this devicewith a much larger screen and that would be able to identify users and automatically track them as they move through a room, all mounted on a robotic arm and that we would see in 2026, already around 1,000 euros, something much more expensive , but it could arrive with functions that we did not even imagine, so we will also be attentive.
And you, what do you think of this product? Do you think it will live up to expectations? Will Artificial Intelligence change all devices as we know them, or will it not be that big of a deal? Leave us a comment with your opinion and how much you would be willing to pay for a product like this. The truth is, I think if they really do it right, we’ll all have one before long.
