Apple has postponed the release of its anticipated smart home device due to issues with Siri.
Reasons for the Apple Smart Home Hub Delay
According to Bloomberg, the delay in the Apple Smart Home Hub release is attributed to the need for additional time to develop the new Siri features. These features are fundamental to Apple Intelligence and the company’s broader AI strategies.
Expectations for the New Device
The new smart home hub from Apple was expected to feature a six-inch touchscreen and video calling capabilities. The initial launch was planned for March 2025.
Impact on the Smart Home Market
The delay of Apple’s smart hub could temporarily strengthen the positions of competitors like Amazon and Google, and affect Apple’s AI and smart device strategy.
Despite the delay, Apple focuses on creating a high-quality product, with an emphasis on refining Siri and Apple Intelligence, promising a more intelligent and integrated user experience in the future.
