Apple is reportedly working on the development of a new generation of HomePod. The Apple brand’s connected speaker could be updated in the coming months by the Cupertino company, with several major new features. According to the latest rumors about him, the next HomePod could be entitled to a screen.
In a recent message shared on social networks, it is the specialist Kosutami who shares images of this potential screen. This expert from the Cupertino company is not unknown and his information should be taken very seriously, Kosutami having already announced several new features for HomePods in the past.
Apple has obviously not commented on these rumors, but this is not the first time that the Apple brand has been suspected of developing screens for its connected speakers. According to several sources, including those of Kosutami, the arrival of a screen on the HomePod shouldn’t make a huge difference.

The device would still have more or less the same design, in the form of a large speaker. The screen would be placed at the top and it could display different information on Apple Music or even search results carried out by Siri. According to Ming Chi Kuo’s comments about it, this first HomePod with screen should arrive in 2024.
The absence of visible large-scale production nevertheless suggests that the release of the product will be, at the earliest, at the end of the year. For now, it is difficult to know whether Apple will update its HomePods or not. It seems that even within Apple Park the question has not yet been resolved. The arrival of an LCD screen on the top of the speaker would in any case not be a huge surprise, especially when we know that Apple is working on the design of a Hub for connected homes at the same time. The arrival of this HomePod with screen could be a good way to test the market before launching a product closer to the Amazon Echo Show.
