The tipster also revealed that a prototype at Apple includes a <b>MagSafe-like snap-to-wall capability<\/b>,<b> <\/b>and that it is designed to integrate with another upcoming smart home product, <b>a Face ID-enabled doorbell<\/b>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apple has been rumoured to be developing this smart home hub-like device for several years. According to reports, this device is supposed to function as a hub for controlling smart home devices, listening to music and podcasts, and making and taking video calls. It\u2019s expected to have a small display so that users can get glanceable information, such as weather and calendar events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Powered by a new OS, the HomePad is expected to be the \u201c<b>command center for the home<\/b>\u201d. Initially rumoured to arrive in 2025, the launch of the HomePad was reportedly pushed back due to the delayed launch of the \u201cmore personalised Siri\u201d. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The HomePad is now slated to <b>launch in the fall later this year<\/b> alongside the iPhone 18. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: @Kosutami_Ito via MacRumors<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/lifestyle\/home\/apple-homepad-magsafe-snap-wall-feature-smart-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two potential features of Apple\u2019s upcoming smart home display have been revealed by tipster @Kosutami_Ito.
