The next HomePod is believed to be the biggest redesign of the smart speaker since its inception in 2018. That's because all the rumors suggest Apple will be adding a display to the device that'll allow it to compete with the likes of the Amazon Echo Show 15 or the Google Nest Hub.

Apple last updated the HomePod in early 2023 with a surprise second-generation model that didn’t change much other than a getting new chip and losing a couple of microphones. Most notably it isn’t capable of running Apple Intelligence, which we’d expect to be rectified in the next release.

Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today again said that Apple plans to release its own HomeKit-enabled wireless smart home camera in 2026.

Almost seven years after the first HomePod was introduced, it seems Apple will finally revamp its smart speaker strategy with a HomePod 3.

A new report out of South Korea claims that the next iteration of Apple's HomePod will launch next year with an OLED display and potentially a new foucs. The leak comes from the Korean publication SE Daily (via Mac Rumors) who say that the Apple will turn to Chinese display manufacturer Tianma to supply OLED panels for the third-generation HomePod.

Apple's upcoming third-generation HomePod will feature a 6- to 7-inch OLED display, according to a new report by Korean outlet SE Daily.

South Korean press unexpectedly claims that Apple's anticipated new HomePod with a display will use high-quality OLED screens, all of which are to be manufactured in China.
