Apple plans to launch an upgraded HomePod next year, which will feature significant enhancements, including a larger touch-supported screen sourced from Tianma, a company known for manufacturing displays for Android smartphones. This development aligns with previous leaks that hinted at a 6-inch to 7-inch OLED display for the smart speaker.
According to a report from SE Daily, the forthcoming third-generation HomePod will likely incorporate a 6 to 7-inch OLED panel. Earlier speculations also suggested that Apple might use Tianma panels in its iPad models in the future.

Anticipated features of the HomePod include a customizable lock screen with various clock faces and an integrated camera that may support video conferencing applications like FaceTime. The camera is also expected to recognize hand gestures, allowing users to control the device without physical contact.
Apple is expected to launch its HomePod with a display in the third quarter of 2025. It is expected to run on a new homeOS.
