Apple is reportedly modifying its retail stores ahead of new Home hardware expected this autumn. Changes will include altered display areas and additional accessory bays, signaling preparations beyond an updated Apple TV and HomePod mini.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman believes the scale of the work could indicate plans for Apple's first smart home hub with a display. The rumoured device may feature a 7-inch screen, tvOS-based software, Siri AI and smart home controls, with a launch reportedly expected later this year.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Apple has long been reported to be working on a smart home display, a category in which Amazon and Google already have established products. The rumoured device, blending tvOS and Siri AI, would mark Apple's first dedicated smart home hub. Whether it launches this year or slips to 2026 depends on component supply and software readiness. The retail changes suggest a launch window later in 2025, possibly alongside the next iPhone cycle.
