Five futures for Apple’s HomeScreenPod

Quick Summary:

Apple is big on sound quality, and the standard design of smart displays suffers from worse sound than that of smart speakers.

A tablet needs to stay in one place if it’s being relied upon to control things like lights and locks or view live camera feeds, and robotic smart displays take up a lot of room — they need a surprising amount of space to rotate.

Kuo says a HomePod with a seven-inch screen is in the works, and combined with the rumor that Apple engineers have been running tvOS on a modified iPad Mini, many signs point this way.
