Overview

  • Matagal nang pinag-uusapang smart home hub ng Apple, na mas kilala sa pangalangHomePad, unti‑unti nang nabubuo sa mga na-leak na iOS 26 code bilang isang square‑screen na hybrid ng iPad at HomePod na idinisenyong maging sentro ng tahanan.
  • Lumalabas ang device sa codename naJ490 at sinasabing pinapagana ito ng A18 chip, na ipinapares ang isang 7‑inch‑class na display sa isang ultra‑wide 1080p front camera na may Center Stage para sa hands‑free na FaceTime.
  • Sentro sa konseptong ito ang Face ID at on‑device Apple Intelligence, na nagbibigay‑daan sa hub na makilala kung sino ang nasa loob ng kuwarto, awtomatikong magpalit ng profile, at gumamit ng mas natural, mas conversational na upgraded Siri para sa intuitive na voice control.
  • May binabanggit din ang leaked code na ikalawang produkto, angJ229, isang accessory na may iba’t ibang sensor, alarm‑sound detection, at image capture na itinuturing ng mga industry watcher bilang unang smart security camera ng Apple at hindi lang isa pang HomePod variant.
  • Parehong naka‑tag sa loob ng kumpanya ang dalawang device para sa spring 2026 launch window na nakaangkla sa iOS 26.4 at sa pag‑rollout ng bagong Siri architecture—hudyat ng isang pinag‑isang Smart Home 2.0 moment para sa Apple matapos ang mga taong naiiwan ang HomeKit kumpara sa mga karibal.
  • Sabay na magbibigay ang HomePad‑style hub at J229 camera ng isang visual command center at native security hardware para sa ecosystem ng Apple, na magpo‑position sa Cupertino para direktang sumagupa sa Amazon Echo Show, Google Nest Hub at Ring pagdating sa privacy, disenyo, at mahigpit na OS integration.
