With 2024 wrapping up, it looks like Apple is gearing up to boost its smart home lineup by rolling out three new devices in 2025. These innovations are aimed at making the Home collection even better, giving users fresh options to weave tech into their everyday routines. Here’s a sneak peek at what we can expect next year.
HomePad - A Smart Display You Can Hang on the Wall
Apple is gearing up to launch a wall-mounted smart display, probably called the "HomePad," according to Mark Gurman via 9to5Mac. This new gadget is expected to merge the features of an iPad with those of a smart display. It should be roughly the size of two iPhones side by side and will come with a front-facing camera, built-in speakers, and a rechargeable battery. The HomePad is designed to be mounted on walls, making it easy for users to manage smart home devices and even make video calls. It’s likely to have enhanced Siri features, work seamlessly with the Home app, and show off slideshows from the Photos app. There are rumors that Apple might roll out the HomePad as soon as March 2025, although some think it could be pushed back.
Revamped Apple TV 4K
Apple is set to refresh its Apple TV 4K in 2025. The upcoming model is anticipated to include the newest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology, plus a quicker A18 or A17 Pro chip, which should boost performance and enhance AI capabilities. While the design and operating system will probably stay pretty similar, this update is expected to improve compatibility with the latest TV tech. Overall, the performance upgrades should make this version a significant step up for existing Apple TV users.
HomePod Mini 2
The HomePod mini is getting a makeover in 2025, almost four years after its last update. The new version is expected to come with upgraded connectivity chips made by Apple, which should make connections quicker and more dependable. There’s also a chance that Apple will introduce some AI features to the speaker. While keeping it budget-friendly and smart is still a priority, these enhancements could make the HomePod mini even more attractive to users.
