Apple’s home command center is likely to be postponed to 2026.

The main reason for the new delay. As we suppose you guess is the colossal slowdown in the sophisticated version of Siri, as well as the slow progress that apple achieved with the development of Apple Intelligence.

The Home Command Center should be an Apple step in the smart home segment. It is expected to have a 7 ” display, a camera in the middle of the frame, a rechargeable battery, a new operating system called Homeos, a focus on video chat apps and full integration with Apple Intelligence.

Of course, this type of device will also rely on a great deal on the Siri Voice Assistant, where the problem actually arises-for Apple purposes, the new and smarter version of AI helper is needed, which will, however, be ready in the spring of 2026.

Recently, it has become clear that Apple is considering integration of Openai and Anthropic AI models in the next generation of Siri, which raises serious questions about the possibilities of developing more complex processes that use artificial intelligence developed by the core of the technological giant in Cupertino.
