Apple's latest macOS beta code has revealed details about an upcoming HomePod with a display, potentially named "HomePad." This new smart speaker is expected to feature a tvOS-based interface with customizable "Faces" similar to Apple Watch faces, incorporating widgets and Smart Stacks. The device will also leverage iPhone proximity to display personal information and integrate with Siri AI and App Intents. Additionally, the code suggests a wall-mountable version and hints at a future tabletop robot with a robotic arm and display, codenamed J595, possibly launching in 2027, alongside a minor upgrade to the HomePod mini.
