> Apple’s upcoming home smart display will include old school iMac-like base. Apple is making progress developing its next entirely new product — a smart home screen — and it may be a little smaller than expected. The device will have a square display, I’m told, and be about the size of two iPhones side by side. The screen is positioned at an angle on a small base, making it reminiscent of the circular bottom of the iMac G4 from a couple of decades ago. It’s possible that the base will include speakers, essentially turning the device into a HomePod with a screen. > The small size fits with the idea that the product will be relatively cheap and easy to have in different rooms of the home. The device will run a new operating system that will include some iPad-like apps, including FaceTime, Notes and Calendar. It’s also meant to be well-suited to videos and photo slideshows. The device’s primary purpose, though, will be serving as a hub that can control various smart home accessories.

Magic experiences like full room scanning, object detection, presence/people detection, vital monitoring through mmWave (repurpose sensor suites from car, AVP, and phone) Encourage multiple devices for full home coverage. Extension of AR computing but the small device replaces headset

Man this sounds great! I have been wanting something like this for awhile - easily FaceTime with family, have a recipe up, and do small home stuff like notes and such

Interesting - kinda sounds like the newer Google Home devices But man am I excited to hear the design may be like the G4. I loved that thing.

About time they do something to pay respect to the exceptional design off the iMac G4. Took them long enough.
