According to Mark Gurman, the device is comparable to the iMac G4 in appearance.
There is a possibility that Apple’s anticipated smart home display would resemble an old buddy, specifically the iMac G4 from the early 2000s. In the Power On newsletter that was distributed this past weekend, Mark Gurman shared the information that the tablet that will be placed on the countertop will have a square screen that will be “positioned at an angle on a small base, making it reminiscent of the circular bottom of the iMac G4.” It’s possible that the speakers are also located at that location. Subsequently, a more advanced version of the gadget that is equipped with a robotic arm that has the capability to alter the display’s position is anticipated to be released at some point during the following year.
According to Gurman, the screen on the more cheap variant, which will be released initially, would be rather modest. He says that it will be “about the size of two iPhones side by side.” Although it is designed to be used for controlling smart home devices, it will also be able to run applications such as FaceTime and Calendar, as well as display images and videos. In addition to its robotic capabilities, the more expensive model will also feature a screen that is far larger, as stated by Gurman. Although he had earlier anticipated that we would not see such product until at least 2026, it is possible that it will cost you close to one thousand dollars. The Apple Intelligence software is anticipated to be included in both variants.
