Apple’s HomePad gets delayed again, rumor claims | Infinium-tech
For a very long time, Apple has been rumored to be working on a smart home hub device, which everyone is informally calling the HomePad. It is now anticipated that it will finally open this fall.
The device will reportedly have a 7″ square display and a front-facing camera. One version is apparently designed to be mounted on a wall, while the other version has a speaker base that’s similar to the HomePod mini and can be placed on your counter or desk.
The HomePad (or whatever it’s called) will have sensors that will automatically detect if someone is nearby. The content displayed on its screen will change depending on the person present. Unsurprisingly, Siri will play a bigger role in the operation of this device, and Siri may get a completely new look for the HomePad.
As for price, expectations are around $350. It was initially rumored to launch in early 2024, but Apple’s struggles with AI pushed it to late 2025 and now to late 2026, and hopefully this will be the last projected delay.
