Read Full Bio /author/chance-townsend Apple's https://mashable.com/category/apple smart home lineup has stayed mostly frozen for years, but that appears likely to change. Between a recent Bloomberg report https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-28/new-apple-tv-4k-box-homepod-mini-and-siri-ai-smart-home-hub-are-coming and a trove of references buried in Apple's own beta software, it appears the company is ready for a new Home push. Especially now that, reportedly, Apple has been waiting on its revamped Siri to finally be ready. Here's everything that's been reported so far. For years, much of Apple's rumored Home hardware has reportedly sat ready for release, only to be delayed pending the company's overhauled Siri. According to 9to5Mac https://9to5mac.com/2026/07/30/apple-is-about-to-launch-home-product-overhaul-ive-wanted-for-years/ , that logjam is finally clearing.

The larger HomePod and security camera could follow soon afterward. On that last point, 9to5Mac points to new HomeKit Secure Video features arriving in iOS 27 as a possible hint that the camera hardware is close. The most detailed picture so far on the HomePod comes from Engadget https://www.engadget.com/2239524/things-i-learned-about-the-rumored-homepod-display-from-macos-beta-code/ , which combed through references in a recent macOS 26.7 beta. According to Engadget, the code points to a new device internally labeled "HomeAccessory" — widely believed to be the long-rumored HomePod with a built-in display, a concept that has been rumored in various forms for years. Engadget also reports that the device's interface centers on "Faces" and a "Face Gallery" — essentially an Apple Watch-style face system scaled up for a larger screen, with faces that can be customized with different widgets and Smart Stacks that change throughout the day. The beta code reportedly also points to a next-generation HomePod mini, internally codenamed B525. Engadget characterizes expectations for this update as modest — likely a minor refresh rather than a significant overhaul — though it cites a MacRumors report suggesting new color options are on the way. Despite the fresh leaks, some skepticism is warranted , given how long these rumors have circulated. As 9to5Mac notes, Apple's home efforts have been comparatively limited so far. Still, given that we now know for sure that Siri AI https://mashable.com/tech/siri-ai-wwdc is actually coming, the company may finally be ready to give its smart home lineup some long-overdue attention.
