Overview
- Bloomberg reports the smart display hardware has been finished for months, with the new target window likely aligning with iOS 27 and Apple’s fall product cycle.
- The device is described as a roughly 7-inch square screen designed as an AI-centric home hub that depends on a more capable Siri.
- Reported designs include a wall attachment or a half‑dome speaker base, facial recognition for personalized content, and a watch‑like grid of circular app icons running Apple apps.
- A leaker known as Kosutami says at least one prototype features a MagSafe‑like snap‑to‑wall mount and native doorbell integration, details that remain unconfirmed by Apple.
- Bloomberg also indicates updated Apple TV and HomePod hardware may be held for the same Siri and Apple Intelligence rollout.
