Apple plans to release a new "HomePod" with a 7-inch LCD display, an A18 chip, and Apple Intelligence support in 2025.The screen-equipped HomePod is expected to be more affordable due to a competitive price for the LCD panels.The device will likely serve as a smart home hub, offering smart home capabilities, camera footage display, and FaceTime video calls.Apple's new home hub will compete with products like Google's Nest Hub and Amazon's Echo Show in the $150 to $300 price range.
