According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is no longer planning to launch its expected smart home product by the end of the year. The company is considering postponing the launch to 2026 due to delays on the Apple Intelligence Siri side. This development shocked the technology world.

Apple’s new smart home product postponed to 2026

As a reminder, Apple was working on a completely new product category. This product can be thought of as an Echo Show or Google Nest Hub produced by Apple. The product was expected to be equipped with a 7-inch square display, Apple Intelligence and a completely new operating system that would adapt to your home.

However, there were a number of difficulties with Siri during the development process. The company decided to officially postpone the Siri features it introduced this summer until next year. It is also claimed that some structural changes have been made and features are being considered to be rebuilt from scratch.

Apple was originally planning a launch in March. Then Gurman reported that there were some delays and the product would be released in April or later. But now the situation seems to have become much more pessimistic.

The company expects Siri features to be ready by 2026 and is considering delaying the launch until then. This will be disappointing for users who expect Apple to focus on the smart home area.
