According to leaks, Apple plans to release its first smart home display in September 2026 alongside the iOS 27 system, potentially named HomePad or HomeHub. The device's hardware design was finalized months ago and is now awaiting the launch of the new Siri to complete its smart ecosystem experience. In terms of appearance, it resembles a square-shaped iPad with flexible installation options, as some prototypes support magnetic wall mounting. On the software side, it aims to become the central AI hub for the home, with an interface inspired by the Apple Watch design and equipped with a visual recognition system capable of accurately identifying users and displaying personalized information. Additionally, Apple collaborated with Google earlier this year to introduce the Gemini model to power the new Siri and Apple's intelligent features.
