At the beginning of the month, we learned thatThe iPads could not soon be used as a concentrator for houses equipped with connected objects via Homekit. This therefore meant in theory that all those who do not have them shouldInvest in a homepod or Apple TV, or only two other devices compatible with this functionality.
Logically, the negative reactions following this announcement were not long in coming. Many returns from disappointed customers have thus reached Apple's ears, which ended up responding. In an article published byThe Verge, we learn from the mouth of Catherine Franklin (spokesperson for Cupertino) thatThis major change will not take place.
Prudence !
Beware of you, however if you do not want to change equipment, because Apple also explains having planned aLarge update for the Home Appwhich will not be available in this case. The platform, equivalent to Google Home, is that which allows you to remotely order all its home automation devices, from the smart blinds to your heating or an air purifier.
Concretely, we do not know precisely what apple into account brought nine to house. The firm has just assured that aarchitectureUnpublished is on the way, but all this may only concern developers. It is likely that Internet users do not see a difference, especially if the interface to which they are used to remains identical.
What if I have to buy a concentrator?
Now let's say that you don't want to miss the next version of the next version of the house, and that you have to abandon your iPad to find another concentrator. Several choices are available to you, the most affordable beingThe Homepod Mini and its low price of 99 euros. The connected speaker incorporates the Siri voice assistant and can also play music via Spotify or Deezer.
Always available in stores, the Apple TV is available in two models, the most affordable of which broadcast images inHD for 159 euros. The second, compatible with 4K films, starts at 199 euros if you opt for 32 GB of memory.
