Apple’s Next HomePod May Feature Built-In Display, Hints iOS 26 Beta


Apple’s upcoming HomePod may feature a built-in display, as suggested by iOS 26 beta hints. Rumors point to a touchscreen smart hub

It’s been two years since the second-generation HomePod was introduced, and signs from the latest iOS 26 developer beta suggest that the next version is in the works — with a significant upgrade. This points to the possibility of a built-in display on the next HomePod, enabling it to present weather, time, and other data without relying solely on voice responses. If true, the new HomePod could be Apple’s attempt to blend voice-first interactions with rich visual feedback, delivering a more versatile smart home experience.
