Apparently, the first leak, from the Korean media SE Daily, says that it will have a size between 6 and 7 incheswhich is quite realistic for us, since we do not have something relatively small, but not so large as to increase its price much.
HomePod with 7-inch screen
It’s funny how years ago a 7 inch tablet It was wonderful, and now it seems to us the size of a large mobile phone, being something unimaginable for tablets. However, these are the dimensions that the HomePod of 2025 seems to have, which will come prepared for an era of Apple Intelligence, and from there a screen will be interesting, since we can create buttons with routines, turn lights and appliances on and off, and many more things by touch, without needing to talk to Siri.
The official date or confirmation of the product does not exist yet, and we believe that it will depend a little on the progress of Apple’s AI, so first they must have more languages, including Spanish, which will be released around March or April, to later finish including tools announced and have a functional system, and not in tests as until now, where there is still no ChatGPT integration with Siri as announced, even though it is yet to come.
Therefore, if you are thinking about home automation your houseand for this you are looking for a HomePod, the best thing will be to wait until next year, since its functions will be much better than the current one, being the most important leap that we have seen in this type of product, not only because of the AI but because of the incorporation of a screen, something similar to what Amazon did with its Echo and Echo Show, which, if you have been able to try, you will see a very clear difference between them.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple would be working on various versions of the HomePod with integrated screens. One of them would include an iPad-like screen with a built-in camera, while another would have a display mounted on a robotic arm. This may mean, in turn, that one screen is larger than another, hence the possibility of 6 or 7 inches, as well as the price, which will vary quite a bit from one model to another, so we hope that there will be a version « economical”, for those of us who seek this without needing high-end equipment, but rather a control center with Siri via voice.
And you, what do you expect from the new ones? HomePods of 2025Do you think one will come out with Apple Intelligence but without a screen, or will they all be with this new feature? Which will greatly increase its cost. Leave us a comment with your opinion about it and whether you will buy it or not.
