Apple's New Home Hub Launch Delayed

Apple's new smart home hub, often called a HomePod with a screen, is delayed until 2026 due to dependencies on postponed Siri features and a new version of App Intents, which are essential for its voice control capabilities. The device, expected to feature a 6-7 inch display and an A18 chip, aims to control smart home devices, support FaceTime, and possibly serve as a security system, but its release has been pushed back from an initial planned announcement in March.
