According to rumors, a new version of the HomePod is coming with an OLED display. This is when you can expect him.
‘New HomePod will have an OLED screen (and this is when)’
The next HomePod comes with a striking new feature. It will have an OLED screen of about 6 to 7 inches. That’s what the Korean news website SE Daily. According to the report, Apple will have the Chinese manufacturer ‘Tianma’ supply the OLED panels.
The rumors about a HomePod with a display are not new. Rumors about this new version of the HomePod have been popping up regularly since 2021. It is not surprising that the HomePod will have a screen. According to rumors, Apple is working on several new smart home products with a screen. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is even working on several variants of the HomePod, including one that is connected to a kind of robotic arm.
Gurman had already indicated that these new devices will not appear before 2025. According to a recent report from Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will introduce the HomePod with display sometime after WWDC 2025. This will be in the third quarter of 2025.
Kuo agrees with the Korean news site about the manufacturer of the panels, but does not say anything about it being an OLED panel. Until now, the rumors said it was going to be an LCD screen.
The new HomePod will focus more on smart home functions than the current models. This seems to be in line with another product that Apple is planning: a Smart Home Display.
This Apple Smart Home Display is on the release list sometime before next year. Mark Gurman says the device will have a hemisphere as a stand with a screen that you can place in a corner. This design of the Smart Home Display is very similar to an old acquaintance: the iMac G4.
