Will Apple have a year 2025 as rich as 2024, marked by the release of numerous products and the long-awaited launch of Apple Intelligence? Let's hope so for the American company and fans of its devices. During this first quarter, Apple should market the iPhone SE 4, a smartphone aimed at smaller budgets. On the other hand, according to journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, we would have to wait longer than expected before discovering a highly anticipated new feature from Apple:the next HomePod.
Apple's HomePod presented in March, but its marketing delayed according to Mark Gurman
Many informants have been reporting for several weeks that Apple is working on a newHomePod with a screen.The device would even have an A18 chip to support Apple Intelligence. Mark Gurman, Bloomberg journalist, is one of the sources mentioning the existence of this project. On the other hand, he has just declared that the development of the product was delayed.
«Apple plans to introduce HomePod in March, but it could take longer to release. The device's new operating system – codenamed Pebble – is heavily tied to the App Intents features planned in iOS 18.4 and iOS 19, so it's plausible that the hardware itself will ship a little later» writes the journalist in his latest newsletter for Bloomberg.
Regardless, the most impatient consumers should at least find out what the next HomePod has in store for them from next March. You will simply have to be patient before it is marketed. Remember that the device supposed to integrate into your connected home would includea camera for FaceTime calls and video surveillance. Furthermore, the Apple brand would have the ambition to launch a dedicated wireless IP camera in 2026 in order to strengthen its security capabilities.
