Apple\'s \'HomeAccessory\' device revealed to have an A18 chipset among other features
Apple\'s \'HomeAccessory\' device revealed to have an A18 chipset among other features
Fresh details of Apple's HomePod-like device with an integrated screen have surfaced and they paint a clearer picture of the device which has been referred to as 'HomeAccessory'. When it launches, it will be Apple's answer to Google's Nest Hub Max and Amazon's Echo Show 10 (available on Amazon for $249).
A report by 9to5Mac citing unnamed sources has said that the device currently referred to as HomeAccessory is codenamed 'J490'. It has also revealed that the smart home device will be powered by the Apple A18, the same chipset inside the iPhone 16(available on Amazon for $). The reason for this specific chipset is speculated to be due to HomeAccessory likely supporting Apple Intelligence.
While earlier reports have mentioned the device will have a screen, the latest says the current iteration of the device has a square-like screen and not a rectangular one like that of an iPad. It is a weird aspect ratio considering it is also expected to be used for playing media.
In addition, the device will have a camera for FaceTime and other video conferencing apps. This camera will also be used to recognize gestures that can be used to control the device. It can also be used to identify users for personalized requests since it is more of a multi-user device than a personal one like the iPhone or Apple Watch.
HomeAccessory will be able to run apps, play media, and support Apple AirPlay, allowing users to stream from their other supported devices to it. It has also been reported that the device will have a customizable lock screen with different clock faces similar to what tvOS 18 brings to Apple TV.
Finally, the device is expected to launch next spring which begins in March. However, there is a possibility the timeframe may change.
The above is the detailed content of Apple\'s \'HomeAccessory\' device revealed to have an A18 chipset among other features. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
