Apple wants to embark on home automation, with 3 unpublished products

Have you ever heard of the Homepad? This neologism was created by financial analysts and other journalists who watch Apple on a daily basis. It makes it possible to qualify a product under development. According to their information, He would be halfway between the iPad and the HomePod (Hence its name).

With such a device, Apple could make a grandiloquent entry into the world of home automation. Connected houses are a market that the Cupertino firm has never really targeted, but it could change very soon.

HomePad

In his latest newsletter “Power On”, Bloomberg journalist and Apple Mark Gurman expert mentions this product. In detail, he talks about a screen carried on an articulated arm with an enclosure. He would be able “To turn to your interlocutor to attract your attention. »» Another feature mentioned by Gurman, the screen itself.

The journalist talks about a format close to the iPad Mini, with 7 inches. A camera would have been integrated to facilitate calls via FaceTime. Also according to Gurman, the product would be in development, but we should expect An release in 2027 at the earliest.

Apple Ring ?

Another product mentioned by several rumors, Connected bells. Apple could start on this changing market. The Cupertino firm would then follow the example of Amazon and its subsidiary Ring. Several experts speak of an ID front integration into this product, facilitating access to certain common tasks (open a door, play music or turn off the lights).

Again, you will have to know how to be patient. Apple would be in the process of developing this product, but its release, still uncertain, will not arrive without “the new version of Siri”, says Gurman. We should therefore wait, at least, several months or even several years, before we can get their hands on this product.

HomeOS

The last major project in progress on the Cupertino side that we wanted to tell you about in this article is not a pure product. Rather, this is a new bonedesigned for connected houses. Apple could use it for its home automation devices in the years to come.

With this common software base, Apple products would be more efficient. Apple would also have more possibilities to add new features to already existing products. While waiting to see this project to materialize, we should have the right to some minor new features this year.

Apple would indeed be about to update its homepod mini. A new version, 5 years after the previous one, with better components and undoubtedly compatible with Apple Intelligence.
