In 2025, Apple plans to launch a new HomePod featuring a 7-inch LCD display, powered by an A18 chip with integrated AI capabilities. According to Bloomberg reports, this device aims to combine smart home functionality with an accessible price point, using competitively-priced LCD panels from Chinese manufacturer Tianma.

The new device reportedly resembles a "square iPad" and can be either mounted on a wall or attached to a speaker base. Key features include:

  • 6-to-7-inch display
  • Custom "homeOS" operating system
  • Widget-oriented home screen
  • Enhanced Siri integration
  • HomeKit compatibility
  • Built-in camera for FaceTime
  • Home security features with camera footage display

This smart home hub will compete directly with Google's Nest Hub and Amazon's Echo Show. While branding remains uncertain, Apple plans to position this device as a central command center for smart homes.

Additionally, Apple is expected to release a new HomePod mini in 2025, alongside other major product launches including new iPhones, AirPods, and M4 Macs.
