Federico Viticci 
Between this and MacBooks with touch support, I'm increasingly feeling like I want to skip ahead ~2 years in Apple hardware directly to 2024/2025.

(I have a Google Nest Hub on my desk. It gets the job done, barely. The UI sucks and Google has no taste. I'd get the Apple version of this product immediately.)
Peter Lio@viticci I was an early adopter of the Nest Hub (née Home Hub) and I replaced all of my Echoes… those were great at first but then stagnant. The Nest Hub is now in the same boat. Fine but stagnant. Can Apple pull something off here? I sure Hope so!
ravi@ravipatel @viticci Not to me. It feels way too similar and I think it was a missed opportunity to innovate.
Chris Wu 🪐@viticci If they let us also use a virtual keyboard to search for YouTube videos I would throw my Google Nest Hub in the trash instantly.
Brett Elliff@viticci I have an em Exho Show on mine. I have pretty mich the same thoughts and would probably replace it if Apple had a similar product.
Cody Kloepfer@viticci I have one as my alarm clock on my night stand. It’s a great alarm clock, but that’s pretty much it… Navigating the UI is infuriating, it’s slow, it’s laggy, it’s not a good device.
Brandon McGraw@viticci I so agree with this. I feel like somehow the software has gotten worse over the years - it’s itching to be a good product
re_chief@viticci I would love this. The lack of a Homepod with a display is pretty much the only thing holding me back from switching from Google Home
Andrew Cunningham@viticci I’ll go ahead and jump to 2026 so I can get the second-gen versions of all these things 😛
johnwhitley@viticci Meanwhile, today, if I tap about twenty five times, I can get my iPhone to finally show me the timer I set on the HomePod.
@viticci Heh, just counted. Eight touch interactions (swipe, tap, etc) was the fastest I found to get there. Maybe if there were some iOS UI pattern to show ongoing, “live” things… 🤔

I’ve used both Echo Show and the Google Home, and I’m sure if Apple came out with a competing product I’d check it out, but not if that render is accurate. That looks like a HomePod Mini with a tiny viewport.

Jason Tiernan@viticci this mock has so much personality. Hope the truth is as interesting.
Jonathan L.@viticci but then everyone would have tried the Apple headset before you had a chance 😂
Davey Craney@viticci Hope it looks nothing like that mock render though 😒
I would like to get rid of my Google home hub though. I got it for free and still feel like I paid too much…
