Apple is reportedly expected to launch a new smart home device with a display sometime in May next year.

The new device is expected to use Apple’s tvOS to operate the system, called HomeOS, a report from The Verge said.

The display is expected to run apps like Calendar, Notes and Home and will be available with magnets for wall-mounting.

The iPhone-maker is also expected to include recognition for hand gestures for the device. The device is also expected to come with support for Apple Intelligence, something that is yet to make its way for iPhone and HomePod users.

Earlier, rumours suggested that Apple was working on HomePod with a screen that would be attacked to a robotic arm that swivels to face the users on video. However, Apple has made no official announcements regarding the product or its development.
