iOS 18.4 Beta Reveals Clues About Apple's Upcoming 'Home' Device

Apple released the first beta of iOS 18.4, which introduces Apple Intelligence for more languages and hints at a new category of devices called 'Home.' This new category is listed alongside existing device types like iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Reality (Vision Pro). It's believed to be a combination of a HomePod and an iPad, designed for smart home control with Siri and a touch display. The device, codenamed J490, will reportedly feature the A18 chip, a squarish display, and a built-in camera for FaceTime. Initial reports suggested a 2025 launch, but recent updates hint at a possible delay.
