Coupled with HomePod mini 2 and Apple TV 4K, Apple’s refreshed smart home lineup should give Google plenty to worry. Apple’s rumored smart display is coming this month, and it could challenge Google’s smart home lead. The smart display reportedly come with a six-inch square screen featuring dynamic facial and voice user recognition, and an OS combining elements of iPadOS, watchOS, and StandBy mode from iOS.
The new hardware could capitalize on user frustration with Google Home automation bugs and compromises on the Pixel Tablet. For years, Google and Amazon have dominated the smart home space, with Apple largely sitting on the sidelines. While Apple offered the HomePod and HomePod mini, its lack of a dedicated smart display left Cupertino lagging behind the best smart home ecosystems.
Meanwhile, Google has had plenty of runway with the Nest Hub, Nest Hub Max, and its ambitious dockable Pixel Tablet. This smart home journey hasn’t been smooth of late, with plenty of complaints arising from Google’s and Amazon’s AI integrations.
