Rumors of such a device have been going around for some time now, with form factors ranging from a HomePod with a screen to a display attached to a robotic arm that swivels to face you on video calls. Another recent rumor suggested that a “HomeAccessory” device coming soon would be square-shaped, and that users might be able to use hand gestures from afar to control it, as 9to5Mac wrote earlier this week.
