A Touchscreen HomePod?
Apple is rumored to be working on a HomePod with a touchscreen. In March, a tech expert named Ming-Chi Kuo hinted that a new HomePod might be coming in the first half of 2024, and it could have a 7-inch touchscreen.
According to a post on a social media platform by a user named Kosutami, it seems like Apple is working on a HomePod frame that has a glass top. These images show a glass top with black edges. It looks a lot like the second-generation HomePod, but with a big, shiny touchscreen on top. Unfortunately, there aren’t many details available about the speaker’s features or how it will work, but it’s definitely sparking our curiosity.
