According to Gurman’s reports, Apple is developing two smart displays. The aim is to bring Apple Intelligence to homes. HomePod with display to feature Apple Intelligence features, as the device will be powered by the company's A18 chip from the iPhone 16 The first product that Apple is working on is code-named J595. It is expected to be a high-end device featuring a large screen and a robotic arm. This will move or rotate to follow the user’s voice or keep them in the camera frame. The second display in working is code-named J490. It is supposedly the more affordable option designed primarily for FaceTime calls and smart home control. It will focus on everyday tasks such as managing apps such as Calendar, Notes, and Home. iPhones have a StandBy feature that provides a glimpse of how Apple smart home display might work when launched.
