Web site 9to5Mac.com is reporting Apple is experimenting with a modified iPad mini as a display for a possible future HomePod which would include its own display.
According to 9to5Mac:
Apple on Thursday released the first beta of iOS 17.2, along with tvOS 17.2 beta and other software updates. Interestingly, by digging into the firmware of tvOS 17.2 – the system that runs on both Apple TV and HomePod – we found strong evidence that Apple is internally running tvOS on the iPad… the latest tvOS builds also have device support files for the iPad mini 6.
Of course, these files were never intended to be seen by end users or even developers and are probably leftovers from something Apple has been working on. What exactly? Presumably a new HomePod with a display that’s similar in size to an iPad mini… Apple’s engineers may have decided to run tvOS on the iPad mini to explore how the interface would work on such a device.
Would YOU use such a device? Sound off in the comments below.
