Report: Apple plans Apple TV/HomePod and iPad/HomePod hybrid products - Ars Technica

One of those products would be a device that combines the TV-streaming box and gaming features of the Apple TV 4K with a HomePod-like smart speaker, as well as a camera.

This HomePod variant would also include a camera for video conferencing, and it is described as essentially having a built-in or connected iPad as a display.

And in an unexpected twist, the article claims that "Apple has explored connecting the iPad to the speaker with a robotic arm that can move to follow a user around a room.".

After it introduced the HomePod, Apple launched a cheaper alternative called the HomePod mini that has sold better.

That scuttlebutt has also claimed that the new iPad would feature a Mini LED screen—a refinement of LCD technology that allows for better contrast, among other improvements.

Another separate Bloomberg report today claims that the new iPad Pro is still coming but that the availability of the 12.9-inch model will be limited because of supply issues with the companies producing Mini LED screens.

The iPad report claims that the new Mini LED display technology will be exclusive to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
