Apple recently launched 2nd generation HomePod smart speaker that is getting good reviews from users around the world.

Latest reports claim that Apple will launch a new HomePod with a 7-inch touchscreen display, as reported by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the Chinese display solutions provider, Tianma will supply panels for the redesigned HomePod. In his post, the analyst claims that the new HomePod display will offer deeper integration with other hardware products from Apple. By using smart displays, Apple’s HomePod will aim to give a tough fight to Google’s Nest Hub and Amazon’s Echo Show.
