So basically a Pixel tablet? Because that’s the whole gimmick of Google’s new pixel tablet, that it comes with a speaker+charger dock that makes it like a giant Google home hub.
Sort of, but go back years earlier to release it ;) and also it’s about the dock (HomePod), not the tablet. It should work with any MagSafe iPhone or iPad. The Pixel Tablet, as the name implies is about selling a tablet that has a docking speaker accessory.
It’s a subtle distinction, but what Apple should do is sell a HomePod, with current functionality, that has a MagSafe mount, and then add MagSafe to iPads and in software allow HomePod (Standby) mode.
If you watch the MKHD review of the Pixel Tablet, you’ll see it’s a favorable review, but he wishes there was a better tablet and a better dock. If Apple did what I’m suggesting, they’d simply have a line up of low, mid, high end HomePods with MagSafe and BYOD would cover whatever level of device you wanted to use with it (or none at all as it would still function on its own via Siri).
