TL;DR
- Apple’s rumored smart home display may have been delayed yet again.
- Apple is reportedly still waiting for its next-generation Siri overhaul to be ready.
- The device could now launch around September, potentially alongside the iPhone 18 Pro.
Apple fans may have been looking forward to its long-rumored smart home display, which could rival devices like the Google Nest Hub or Amazon Echo Show. Those fans may need to brace themselves for bad news, as a new report suggests the device has been delayed again while Apple continues working on a major overhaul of Siri.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has pushed back the launch of its smart home display, codenamed J490, because the next-generation version of Siri, which is expected to power much of the experience, still isn’t ready. The device was expected to arrive imminently, but Apple is now said to be targeting a release closer to September.
