Reputable journalist Mark Gurman statedthat Apple plans to release its first wall-mounted smart display in March 2025.
The company hopes that the device will become a central hub for your smart home. It will use Apple apps, Apple Intelligence and will have HomeKit integration.
The model code name is J490. It will have a square screen with a diagonal of about 6 inches.
There will be a camera at the center at the top of the body, as well as a built-in battery and speakers. The design is centered around wall mounting and will be available in two colors: black and silver.
Bloomberg notes that there will also be “bases with additional speakers that can be placed on the kitchen, nightstand or table.” The company has also developed a system that uses external sensors to determine the number of people nearby.
For the initial setup you will need an iPhone, but then the device will be completely independent. There will also be compatibility with the Handoff function.
The interface of the operating system, codenamed Pebble, resembles something between the standby modes in iOS and watchOS. Apple believes that most people will use Siri and Apple Intelligence features to interact with the product. (9to5)
