And why hasn’t Apple made one already?

So what’s the holdup?
After all, smart speakers with screens aren’t exactly new.

Perhaps Apple just hasn’t managed to get the software side of things right yet.
What Is a HomePod With Screen Good For?
Theregular HomePod is already the best smart speakeryou can buy in terms of sound quality.
And the iPhone’s screen is similarly hard to beat.
This would make the user’s experience better while opening up new doors for interactive content.
Fortunately, the answer comes from Apple’s own HomePods.
This works for multiple users and should be how a future HomePod with a screen would work.
If it ever gets here.
