If they keep the audio components and profile the same and just add a screen, there is greater possibility. Especially since the 2nd gen speaker is relatively new.knowing Apple they wouldn’t let you do it 😂

I mean their solution to that is buy 2 homepods and use them paired, they probably dont want to cannibalize thatIt still blows my mind that Apple haven’t released a HomePod/soundbar thing with an Apple TV built in to it and HomePods with up-firing speakers.
The whole smart home division at Apple is a dumpster fire.An absurdly mismanaged product. Apple missed the market long ago.
Still managing to do better than amazon and google’s equivalent divisions, not that that’s a high bar to clearThe whole smart home division at Apple is a dumpster fire.
The home app has uncountable UI bugs and issues. And the UX, hot garbage. One of the worst apps I have ever used from Apple
Well I want to agree with you but the app store app ratings tell a different story.Still managing to do better than amazon and google’s equivalent divisions, not that that’s a high bar to clear
But you’d have to literally get up to look at it from the top. Dumb. Seems like just another thing getting more expensive to repair
This. Keep HomePods with a purely voice assistant / command interface and stop with the half-assing by turning this into yet another iOS style UX. I have enough Apple devices with a screen all throughout my home, including a dozen iPads and Apple TVs the HomePod could in theory connect to for visual cues…all of my HomePods are mounted up on the wall, so this particular design would be simply useless to me. i would much prefer they come out with a HomePod that just does a better job of handling my smart home requests. Really hoping that if / when Siri gets remade or rebranded with AI, that their current HomePod line up can process similarly with an update. It would be excellent to say things such as ’Siri, turn off the lights in the living room, lock the door, turn the fan on and play Ted Lasso on the apple tv.‘ or even just be able to simply connect multiple HomePods for a super immersive dolby atmos setup for movies. That would drive me to buy at least 4 more.
