Like Amazon\u2019s stripped-back Echo Hub<\/a>, the Apple device would also probably want to put your connected devices front and centre, so you could use it like a digital light-switch panel, a thermostat control or to monitor the status of your security system. This would add a lot of value to its HomeKit system, which can feel a bit less useful than Alexa or Google Home given you really need to interact with an iPhone for HomePod to access it.<\/p>\n

As for its physical form, Bloomberg suggests it will be a simple screen with a range of accessories letting it fit in different spaces of the home. One could be a wall mount for a hallway, while another could be a stand for the kitchen. For a long time, the rumour had been that Apple\u2019s display would sit on a rotating base so it could always face its user, like the Echo Show 10, or even on a robotic arm.<\/p>\n

But it sounds like Apple may now leave that to a second, more advanced iteration.<\/p>\n

For all its similarities to existing displays, a true advantage for Apple (besides integration with Apple services) could be AI. A screen on your bench or bedside could be a much more natural place to interact with Apple Intelligence than on your Mac and, with a recent chip inside the display, could handle plenty of queries locally without having to send anything to the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Of course such chips aren\u2019t cheap, and current hubs start about $150, so Apple would probably be entering the market at the higher end.<\/p>\n
