Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo forecasts that Apple will introduce a new HomePod featuring an integrated screen, yet its mass production has been shifted to the third quarter of 2025 (post-WWDC) due to challenges in software development and the integration of Apple's smart features. According to reports, this innovative device is expected to sport a 6~7-inch display and be powered by the A18 chip, enabling capabilities such as smart home management and FaceTime video calls. Additionally, it may incorporate Apple's proprietary camera module. It remains unclear whether the device will make its debut by the end of 2025 or face further delays into 2026, contingent on ongoing development issues.
