Apple’s new ‘HomePad’ will offer three reasons to put it in every room of your house

Apple plans to vigorously promote smart homes in 2025, at least Three products released. One of the devices is a brand new smart display product I’ve been on the phone “HomePad”. Here are three reasons why you might want to put a HomePad in every room in your home.

Apple Photo Slideshow

Mark Gurman wrote HomePad can be turned into a slideshow [users’] photo.

Digital photo frames are nothing new, but they’ve always had one key stumbling block to my investment: the need to manually transfer photos to the frame.

Users of third-party services like Google Photos can get around this problem, but as an Apple Photos user, there’s never been an easy way to get my photos onto a digital frame.

HomePad will be the first product to be able to do this.

My wife and I would like to have more photos in our home but are not very good at printing and framing them. Placing a HomePad in every room will bring different moments of surprise and joy as the device brings to life special memories from the past.

Siri and Apple Intelligence

Gurman is at it again:

[Apple] It is expected that most people will rely on the Siri digital assistant and Apple Intelligence to interact with their devices using voice. The hardware is designed around App Intents, a system that lets artificial intelligence precisely control apps and tasks, and is set to debut in the coming months.

Apple’s existing HomePod hardware doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, so it can only use an older version of Siri (at least for now).

Siri’s transition to Apple’s smart era It’s already a messBut this spring’s iOS 18.4 update will bring big changes.

The upcoming App Intents system will give Siri access to hundreds of new in-app actions, so it can do things it’s never done before. Siri has often fallen short of user expectations before, but iOS 18.4 promises it will be the true smart assistant we’ve always wanted.

Place HomePad in every room and access the powerful new Siri no matter where you are. The more things Siri can do, the more likely users will become dependent on the assistant.

Budget-friendly price tag

Apple appears to have learned from its mistakes with the first HomePod, whose high price made widespread home adoption difficult.

It is said The cost of HomePad will be “[approach] The cost of competitors’ products.

The price will probably be between $150-200. It’s not cheap, but it’s definitely low-end for an Apple product.

To keep the price down, one major compromise is that the screen may be smaller than expected, with a display area of ​​about 6 inches. But the smaller form factor should make the price more attainable and provide another reason to buy multiple HomePads.

HomePad Summary

Apple’s new smart home will create a unique opportunity for the company to sell multiple sets of the same product to users.

This is true for HomePod and HomePod mini, and it’s also true for Apple TV 4K. But with HomePad and future Apple security camera and doorbell productsthis will become more of a trend.
