Apple is reportedly working on a dock that will allow iPad users to turn their tablets into smart displays and allow them to control smart home appliances.
announced that it will release a Charging Speaker Dock for the Pixel Tablet, which will be released sometime next year. The dock will not only wirelessly charge the tablet, but it will also turn it into a smart display with the ability to control your smart home devices. According to Bloomberg'sGurman says that such a device could be ready to ship in 2023, which would be the same year that Google is planning on releasing the Pixel Tablet and the aforementioned dock.
Speaking of smart speakers, Gurman also said that Apple continues to work on a new version of the HomePod that will be bigger than the current HomePod mini but possibly smaller than the original HomePod. The latter was deemed too expensive by consumers in a market where Amazon and Google are the top names in the U.S. The launch price in the states for the HomePod was $349 and was eventually reduced by $50 to $299.
In March 2021, after it became apparent that the HomePod mini was getting more business than the original HomePod,Apple is expected to introduce new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models later this month along with the next version of its basic tablet, the iPad 10. It's too early to determine which iPad models will be compatible with a dock and whether it will work with tablets released prior to 2023.
