[Gearbest Technology News]There are rumors that Apple is secretly developing a HomePod equipped with a full touch display, which can not only display audio waveforms, but also carry more rich information. Although the HomePod and HomePod mini currently on the market are equipped with touch-sensitive glass on the top, they can only be used as LED waveform display panels and have relatively single functions.
Recently, user @Kosutami_Ito exposed a photo on social media of what appears to be the top component of the new HomePod, from which a full touch-screen display can be seen. Although there is no reference to accurately judge the screen size, the leaker said that the surface is smooth and it is undoubtedly a display. It has also been previously reported that the top of the new HomePod will be equipped with a glass that can display images, and the size may be up to 7 inches. However, when compared to the actual size of the top of the existing HomePod, this statement seems to point to two very different design options.
It should be noted that @Kosutami_Ito has successfully exposed related parts of Apple's new products many times, such as the USB-C interface components of the iPhone 15 series, which has a certain degree of credibility. However, its revelations are not entirely accurate. For example, the description of the black Thunderbolt data cable of the iPhone 15 Pro is biased. In addition, the user also disclosed information about the battery specifications and cooling system of the iPhone 16 series, which remains to be verified later.
Taken together, Apple's new HomePod may be equipped with a full-touch display, but the specific design details and functional implementation are still shrouded in mystery. As new product development enters the advanced stages, more precise information is expected to surface in the near future.
