Apple’s forthcoming smart home hub, referred to as HomePad. This device will symbolize the company’s fresh initiative in the smart home sector, as it presently only markets Apple TV units and HomePod speakers. Although the launch of this item appears connected to Apple’s ability to introduce an entirely new Siri, it seems the firm may be preparing for an official launch early next year.
Leaked code uncovered by Macworld discloses additional information about Apple’s hidden smart home hub, while also indicating a brand-new accessory that might debut alongside the HomePad. Labeled “J229,” this device has the capability to identify alarm sounds similar to the HomePod, take pictures (presumably with an integrated camera), and is not classified as an independent product, but as an accessory, suggesting it may be part of Apple’s renewed focus on smart home technologies. That said, it’s possible we could witness Apple moving into the home security camera arena, as this accessory appears to align with that.
