However, it’s imperative to acknowledge that even if Apple is testing the iPad mini as a HomePod accessory, it doesn’t guarantee the development of an actual product along these lines. Company strategies and market dynamics are subject to change.
Recent days have also unveiled what appears to be a prototype HomePod featuring a small integrated display on top. This development suggests that Apple might be experimenting with various form factors for their upcoming smart display.
In terms of software, it makes perfect sense that tvOS would be at the helm of this smart display, considering its current use in HomePod. If early-year speculations hold true, smart home functionalities will play a pivotal role.
