Apple Planning To Merge HomePod And Apple TV In At Least One Product

Apple may have discontinued the HomePod, but apparently the company still has plans for its wireless speaker. According to a Bloomberg report,  plans to merge HomePod and Apple TV in at least one future product.

Gurman writes: The company is working on a product that would combine an ‌Apple TV‌ set-top box with a ‌HomePod‌ speaker and include a camera for video conferencing through a connected TV and other smart-home functions, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing internal matters. The device’s other capabilities would include standard ‌Apple TV‌ box functions like watching video and gaming plus smart speaker uses such as playing music and using Apple’s Siri digital assistant.
