Rumored HomePod with screen gets an indirect nod in iOS 26
I agree, not sure the true use of it that differs from an iPad - most likely cost? We have a stripped down iPad in the kitchen on a stand and use daily for recipes, news, videos and access to Apple Home accessories. And also have HomePod Minis around our home too. Not sure what the benefit of having a "HomePad" from what we already have? The ONLY thing that would be great is if the device (HomePad) would have multi users of the household - but maybe just have that option on all iPads? I guess we'll see if and when...stuffe said:It would be cool if this screen was kinda iPad mini size. Though the speaker elements might need to be smaller to take account of the screen.
.... or... we could just use and iPad mini and a HomePod mini...
Seriously, this product makes no sense for me, because Siri/apple intelligence is simply not viable to attract additional use cases that an IOS device with a touch screen display that is permanently plugged into the wall and isn't portable but still relies on voice input would justify. What's it gonna do, show me the timer countdown on screen and my calendar as a screensaver?
If there was an escrow betting service, I'd bet money this never ships.
