Apple could steal Pixel’s homework for its Nest Hub rival and the iPhone Duo

It could launch as early as next month. Apple could steal Pixel’s homework for its Nest Hub rival and the iPhone Duo. It will reportedly have its own home screen, widgets, clock faces, and will rely extensively on Siri AI.

It’s also expected to support facial recognition using tech we’ve seen on Pixel phones since the Pixel 8. Rumors about Apple’s smart display have been circulating for years. A couple of months ago, we got evidence that Apple is developing two smart displays codenamed J490 and J491.

Well, we’re now getting more details about these devices, and it seems Apple might borrow a security feature from the Pixel for its smart displays. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is testing the upcoming smart home screen in several employees’ homes.

A shorter Apple Pencil for the iPhone Duo was in development, but Apple scrapped it due to "technical problems ahead of mass production," according to Bloomberg ‘s Mark Gurman. Instead, Apple said the iPhone Duo will gain support for the existing USB-C version of the Apple Pencil later this year.
