In February 2024, a few lines of code in Beta 3 of Apple’s tvOS 17.4 unleashed a flurry of speculation about the imminent release of a HomePod 3 featuring a screen. But while a HomePod featuring a screen and FaceTime capabilities has been speculated for a while now (reports of its development go back to 2021), Apple still hasn’t released anything, and we’re over a year on from the release of Apple’s last smart speaker, the HomePod 2.
Considering that Amazon has had a smart speaker with a screen on the market since 2017, when it released the first generation of the Amazon Echo Show, it’s curious that Apple still hasn’t responded in kind. Mark Gurman reported in his ”Power On” newsletter that Apple was working on combining FaceTime, Apple TV and HomePod into one product back in 2022, and yet we still haven’t seen anything come to fruition.
