Apple is developing a new home hub device that will feature Siri integration and could be released this year. This home hub will include a Widget Gallery, allowing users to customize its home screen with selected content. Mentions of this Widget Gallery were discovered in macOS code, specifically within a file associated with the home hub's codename. Apple's existing PosterKit framework, used for Lock Screen customization, suggests similar options for icons, widgets, and clock faces on the hub.Widgets installed on a linked iPhone are expected to be suggested on the home hub, and third-party app widgets may also be supported. Information displayed in these widgets will be mirrored from the primary linked iPhone. While all household members can see the installed widgets, private content will only be visible when the linked device is present at home.A Smart Stack feature will automatically cycle through relevant widgets, similar to its implementation on other Apple devices. The home hub is not anticipated to have its own App Store, but it will support core Apple applications such as Safari, Apple Music, and Calendar. Tapping a widget could potentially launch a full-screen version of the app for more detailed information.The device is also expected to feature a Face Gallery, enabling users to choose different clock displays for its home screen. Additionally, it will integrate with HomeKit scenes and automations. The home hub is projected to have a 7-inch square display and will offer mounting options for a base or wall placement.
