Apple is reportedly planning a significant overhaul of its smart home offerings, including a new smart display, updated Apple TV, and HomePod Mini. The smart display, codenamed J490, is expected to feature a 7-inch screen and run a new OS based on tvOS, integrating features from iOS and watchOS. This initiative is closely tied to the development of a more advanced Siri AI, designed to understand context and perform complex tasks, with the new devices expected to launch between late 2026 and early 2027.
