Gurman: Apple Still Working on Combined HomePod and Apple TV With FaceTime Camera (www.macrumors.com)

This is a fairly old article but thought it might be nice to discuss.

I think an AppleTV HomePod combination would be super interesting, especially if they developed full surround using other homepods as surround speakers.

Also wonder if the new continuity camera feature of TVos is an indication that a device with camera is still coming or Apple ported this feature over instead of pursuing a built in camera.

I’ve been thinking about that continuity camera integration as well. I think it would be great for a new AppleTV to come out with a 1020p camera with center stage built in.

Imagine if the AppleTV would just be a huge HomePod soundbar?! I would like it.

Yeah I would definitely be interested in something like that. I just hope that if they do the camera that it’s not just 1 ultrawide like most center stage devices. Some peoples TVs are pretty far from where they sit so a cropped in ultrawide might look kind of bad.

Yes, this would need to be a totally different center stage camera in this instance.
