It's reported to be making a comeback with the upcoming HomePod that has screen that can rotate to follow your presence



that's not creepy at all. why would that sound like a good idea that someone would want?


So the screen is clearly visible, no matter which side of the kitchen island you're on?

Especially if the screen is showing a recipe, unit conversion, timers, etc.

If it's silent, that seems like it could be really cool.


Love to see a cylindrical, wraparound screen. (Very silent.)


That's really interesting. Or a hemisphere. And it only lights up in the direction you're looking at it from.


for one, people like to record videos or do video calls without needing someone to hold the phone. they helped ship iphone accessories for this already, recently

another use case is for watching something or interacting with it via voice when your hands are tied up doing something else or from a distance. same value as vision pro without the goggles or isolation
