The reliable tipster on everything Apple, Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed that the company would be releasing a redesigned HomePod in the first half of 2024, which includes a 7-inch display. This update to the product would allegedly be part of Apple’s “revamped smart home strategy”. 

Writing on Medium, Kuo said that the HomePod’s display would signal a deeper integration with Apple’s other hardware products. Tianma has been touted as being the sole supplier of the 7-inch display.

Apple has long been rumoured to integrate a screen into the HomePod. Previously in May 2021, we reported on an iMessage and FaceTime-enabled HomePod in the works with a screen were allegedly in the works. 

Of course, do take this with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed as of yet. Well, let’s wait to see if it actually happens, so make sure to stay tuned to TechNave for the latest development on this, as well as for all the latest tech news.
