According to Bloomberg News‘ Mark Gurman, the hardware for Apple’s new home hub — a roughly 7-inch square-shaped display—was finalized nearly a year ago. The device was initially planned for a March 2025 launch, aligning with an updated Siri voice assistant powered by advanced AI. However, delays in the core artificial intelligence software led Apple to postpone the hardware rollout too. After abandoning earlier targets for June and October, the company is now targeting a spring 2026 introduction. The revamped Siri, now slated for release this coming March, will enable users to pull answers directly from the web—much like interacting with ChatGPT or similar chatbots—while offering finer control over in-app actions. This enhanced capability positions it ideally for a home hub device designed to manage appliances, music playback, and communications seamlessly. Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
