The rumored “Home Pod with a screen” we’ve heard so much about was reportedly lined up for launch in 2025, and then this spring, and now, according to the latest updates, it’s on the shelf until this fall. Leaker Kosutami posted as much on X last week, and today, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman followed up with similar information, saying its robot arm-equipped cousin is now planned for launch in 2027.

According to Gurman, the J490 smart home display / Home Pad is waiting for Apple to finish work on its chatbot-style AI update for Siri.

That was supposed to be ready by now, but it is now predicted to arrive later this year, along with the i Phone 18 Pro plus 2027 updates for i OS, mac OS, and all the rest. He describes a silver aluminum-cased device with a 7-inch screen and USB-C power port running a version of tv OS 27, while new versions of the Home Pod speaker and Apple TV 4K box are also waiting in the wings for that Siri update, and a smart home sensor is in the works, too.
