Apple reportedly targeting smart home display release around iOS 27

Apple has been developing a smart home display for years, but the product relies the promised Siri upgrade to ship first. A new report corroborates a recent leak that claims Apple is targeting a smart home display release around iOS 27.

Mark Gurman at Bloomberg reports today that Apple is targeting September as the next earliest launch opportunity for the smart home display product:

Today’s report follows a clue dropped last week by leaker Kosutami who suggested that a fall launch was now expected as well.

More recently, the account has shared that it may have a “MagSafe like snap-to-wall feature according to one specific revision of the ongoing prototypes I’ve got seen in person.”

Back to the latest Gurman report, he has also mentioned a wall attachment in his reporting:

Based on that description, it sounds more versatile than products in the same category offered by Amazon.

Earlier this year, Apple signed a deal with Google to use the company’s Gemini AI models as the brains behind enhanced Siri and Apple Intelligence features.

While we haven’t seen those upgrades materialize yet, we’re expecting the new Siri and Apple Intelligence features to start arriving as soon as iOS 26.5 — possibly next month. Apple will reveal iOS 27 shortly after with Apple’s annual WWDC keynote held in June.
