Here’s why you’ll want to put Apple’s new ‘HomePad’ in every room

9to5Mac‘s Ryan Christoffel offers up three reasons you may want to put Apple rumored-for-2025 “HomePad” in every room of your house.

Mark Gurman writes that the HomePad “can turn into a slideshow display for [users’] photos.” My wife and I would love to have more photos represented in our home, but aren’t great about getting photos printed and framed. Putting a HomePad in every room will provide the benefit of different surprise and delight moments as the device surfaces special memories from the past.
Where Siri often fell short of user expectations previously, with iOS 18.4, the promise is that it will be the truly intelligent assistant we always wanted. Putting HomePads in every room will provide access to this powerful new Siri from wherever you are. And the more that Siri can do, the more likely users are to grow dependent on the assistant.
Reportedly the HomePad’s cost will “[approach] the cost of competitors’ products.” Likely that puts the price tag in the $150-200 range. Not inexpensive, but definitely on the low end for an Apple product.

MacDailyNews Take: As with Apple TV 4K units currently, we expect to have multiple “HomePad” units placed strategically around the house.
