Apple HomePod with display is now expected to arrive after WWDC 2025 | Infinium-tech
Apple announced the HomePod smart speaker in June 2017 and introduced the second-generation HomePod in January last year. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the next-generation HomePod with a 7″ display would arrive in the first half of 2024. Then it was delayed to Q1 2025, and now we hear it’s coming after WWDC 2025.
This word again comes from Kuo, who said that the Apple HomePod with display has been delayed to Q3 2025, which means if Kuo is correct it will go official sometime between July and September next year.

Kuo says the delay in production of a display-equipped HomePod is primarily due to software development challenges. It is said to have Apple’s A18 chip under the hood and will place more emphasis on smart home functionality than the current HomePods. The display-equipped HomePod will also work wirelessly with Apple’s smart home IP cameras, which are rumored to arrive in 2026.
Kuo expects Apple to ship about 500,000 units of this HomePod in the second half of 2025, and if the response is good, annual shipments could reach one million units.
