More rumors about that “HomePod with a screen.”

This time from 9to5Mac, citing unnamed sources who say that the “HomeAccessory” device referenced in code is a smart home accessory with an A18 chip, that’s capable of handling Apple Intelligence features, apps, and acting as an AirPlay receiver.

They also report a camera for gesture control and that the “current” J490 device has a square display instead of a rectangular one.

Long live the HomeScreenPod.
