"According to Gurman, the J490 smart home display / HomePad is waiting for Apple to finish work on its chatbot-style AI update for Siri. That was supposed to be ready by now, but it is now predicted to arrive later this year, along with the iPhone 18 Pro plus 2027 updates for iOS, macOS, and all the rest."
"He describes a silver aluminum-cased device with a 7-inch screen and USB-C power port running a version of tvOS 27, while new versions of the HomePod speaker and Apple TV 4K box are also waiting in the wings for that Siri update, and a smart home sensor is in the works, too."
Apple's long-rumored HomePod with a screen, known as the J490, has been repeatedly delayed and is now scheduled for fall 2025. The device features a 7-inch screen, silver aluminum casing, and USB-C power port, running tvOS 27. The primary reason for the delay is Apple's work on a chatbot-style AI update for Siri, which was originally expected earlier but is now predicted to arrive later this year alongside iPhone 18 Pro and 2027 updates for iOS and macOS. Additionally, a robot arm-equipped device is planned for 2027 launch. New versions of the HomePod speaker and Apple TV 4K are also awaiting the Siri update, and a smart home sensor is in development.
