JAKARTA - The latest leak from the world of technology mentions the possibility of a new Apple HomePod with full touchscreens. Images of parts suspected of displaying new and larger HomePod plates have circulated, sparking speculation about new products from Apple.

This leak, shared by user X under the name @Kosutami_Ito, depicts an image featuring a HomePod top plate that is larger than the previous one, where the sound wave vortex ball is usually located.

While no reference point is provided to estimate the size of the circle screen, the explanation from the source states that it exhibits a "glossy" HomePod with a screen, which has a code B720.

This isn't the first time we've heard of the possibility of Apple's HomePod with a touch screen. In October 2023, a source with the username KotsutamiSan also referred to the possibility of HomePod B720 with a larger touch screen, which might be able to display images such as album covers.

Since more than a year ago, leading Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that there will be a HomePod with a screen at a time in 2024.

However, there are questions about the relevance of this additional capability if Siri's voice assistant, at the heart of HomePod, is still limited. Although it has been announced that Apple is developing a more sophisticated artificial intelligence system for Siri, some users doubt Siri's current capabilities.

However, this leak has sparked enthusiasm among Apple's product enthusiasts, who are looking forward to the presence of a new HomePod that may be more sophisticated and can offer a better user experience.

There is no official confirmation from Apple regarding the truth of this leak or their plan to release a new HomePod with a touchscreen. However, speculation continues to grow along with the wait for an official announcement from this giant technology company.
