Apple’s Smart Home Display Now Coming This Fall: Here’s How to Get Ready Now »

Mark Gurman has reported Apple's smart home display won't ship until the fall to debut alongside the new Siri features – here's the developer session you can watch now to get prepared.

From Mark Gurman on X, linking to his story on Bloomberg:

NEW: Apple’s long-in-the-works smart home display and speaker with facial recognition for showing your personal content is delayed again, waiting on Apple’s new Siri and AI features. Current plan: September.

I quoted it with the following:

PSA: You can pre-plan for this platform today using the session “Design Interactive Snippets.” No need to wait for WWDC.

Design Interactive Snippets walks through how to design for the interactive, context-aware surface this hardware will use — Snippets are part of the Actions portion the new Siri and the content is powered by personal-context patterns that will finally be available when the device ships.

As you watch the session, think about how your app’s content and intents could show up on a home display – you can be ready when the device ships in September.

Give the session a watch and read the full story on Bloomberg.
