Can we retire this horrible render of the iPad lazily slapped onto a HomePod? It ain’t gonna look like that.
Got a tip for us?

Here's Why Apple's All-New Home Hub is Delayed

My question is, does anyone really care?
Seriously, who was asking for this device, exactly? What is the point of it? It would be one thing if Echo Shows were flying off the shelves, or there was a huge 3rd Party market for speaker stands made for the iPad. Neither of these are true though, so why would Apple be wasting time and resources on an admittedly niche product instead of tightening up their current line?

I remember early last decade how we used to hear about next year’s products, but that’s it.
Nowadays, we hear about what’s coming for the rest of the decade (all those wearable devices, for instance) and they always seem to get inevitably delayed.
The iPhone foldable, for example, not coming next year wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

Someday the articulating arm will keep the screen pointing towards you. Then later it will follow you around the house. The current method of holding a device in your hands to make a FaceTime call will seem like something that belongs in a museum.
I disagree with people assuming rumors as fact.

You underestimate Tim Cook, he will build in a 'return to daddy' function.Going in circles or crashing into the nearest wall seems more likely.
The pesistence of 'stubidity' I've seen from Siri was released, are nothing else then amazing.
Some prefer to go fast and break fast.
Apple prefers to have something tested, even if it takes time.

While that sounds nice, I think it's largely a description of Apple from the past at this point.
The Home app badly needs a redesign and the commands are still not quick enough, especially on the Apple Watch, where it can take 5 seconds or more for the action to occur.
Lol, I cant even get Siri On homepod to shuffle my music. It just tells me error. Such trash for these “premium products”.
Why do I think the thing Apple never announced isn't adhering to a rumored timeline? Don't know, don't care.
Ok. Fair enough.
You realize this site is called MacRumors, right?
It's not called MacFacts
It seems a little odd to be this annoyed about folks discussing rumors on a site called MacRumors.
😂
Then people, you included, need to stop reacting like it is called MacFacts.
Friend...
There's no need to be this irritated, nor directly aggressive.
Reading these posts is not compulsory.
This is all optional!
I’d rather them make sure it’s right. HomeKit next to Siri, has been Apples worse executed program to date
They better not stick with an old chip set like they did with Vision Pro
We know for a fact that Apple has been working on something along those lines, and the designation strongly suggests that it was planned to launch not too far off with the A18. Given the “intelligent Siri” delay that became factual since, it’s hard to imagine that such a device would not be delayed as well as a consequence. It therefore makes sense to put a high credence in that rumor.
Because Gurman lies all the time? Because he is a scammer?
There can be at least a couple of dozen reasons. I'll go with it isn't ready yet.
Rumors are nothing to get worked up about. Planet Earth will again rotate into the Sun's rays tomorrow morning. And Apple's 1+ Billion active and repeat customers will continue to delighted purchasing Apple products.
Lmfao garbage take. Nothing was officially announced by the company.
Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.
Totally agree!
All good to still discuss rumors and be frustrated it's taking so long, though, right?
As I stated earlier in the thread, I have a great use case for this thing and would have loved to have it already ... but my prospective users are timing out with dementia and Apple taking so long is bumming me out big time here.
Fact... LOL
All you know is Apple is working on something, you dont know what or when it was supposed to be released.
