The brand new good house show will apparently be small. Gurman writes it should have a sq. show angled above a small base that makes it “paying homage to the round backside of the iMac G4 from a few a long time in the past.” It might have audio system, primarily making it the HomePod with a display screen that’s been rumored as one in all Apple’s attainable good house futures.
Gurman didn’t say how a lot this gadget may cost a little however has hinted at an “reasonably priced” good house gadget with a sq. show up to now. Rumors have steered Apple will launch a $1,000 mannequin with a robotic arm that strikes the show round, however that’s not anticipated till 2026 on the earliest, he reiterates at this time. Each gadgets are anticipated to run bespoke variations of some Apple apps, like FaceTime, Calendar, and Notes, and to work with Apple Intelligence, which Apple’s present good house gadgets don’t assist.
I’m on the document as loving the look of the iMac G4 (I do use one as an exterior show, in any case). And the concept the rumored robotic show would possibly seem like it’s engaging, particularly in gentle of these early Apple adverts that made the iMac G4 transfer round just like the Pixar lamp. If Apple releases and cute little good house rendition of the iMac G4 — robotic or not — that I can plop on my countertop to make use of for timers or YouTube movies whereas I prepare dinner dinner? I’ll have a really laborious time saying no to that.
