Once more, the recent beta of tvOS 17.4 has revealed more information regarding Apple's purported smart home display. At this stage, a release may be sooner rather than later.
The device, known as Z314 internally, is running an A15 Bionic processor. The tvOS 17.4 beta included SwiftUI frameworks and a speific API, which would only be necessary for a device with a display.
Finally, it seems Apple has both development and production versions of this smart device up and running. This may hint at a March release.
LG says users should start seeing AirPlay TVs start to show up in hotel rooms starting this spring. Hotels will need to install a new TV to make this happen, such as LG's Centric Smart Hotel TV.
Finally, Holomarq is launching a new tracker with built in support for Find My.
After the news, we went hands-on with the Journey Loc8 MagSafe wallet which also is able to integrate into the Find My app.
