umours have swirled for a while that Apple is working on a HomePod with a built-in display, as well as its own smart home security camera. Now, industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has reiterated his belief that the former will enter mass production in 2025, with the latter arriving a year later. Kuo believes the camera will be able to wirelessly connect to the HomePod, and that Apple will “tightly integrate” the two into its HomeKit system in other ways. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has previously claimed that Apple is creating a HomePod with a built-in screen, plus a smart home speaker with a display mounted on a moveable arm.
