Adam Kos Moments after we you informed about the possibility of merging Apple TV and HomePod products, graphic designers from 9to5Mac rushed to the possible appearance of such a device. And it must be admitted that many would really like this solution. But the fact is that it is highly unlikely that the final product would actually look like this. Take a look at it for yourself, but we would definitely like it. According to the magazine itself, this is a shot in the dark based only on information about a possible merger of products.

The original report on the combination of the two devices comes from the respected analyst Marko Gourmet, who published it through an agency Bloomberg. He also mentions the possibility of a combination HomePod with an iPad, using a robotic arm that would automatically rotate towards the user.
