During the Made by Google event a few weeks ago, Google showed off their new tablet, the Pixel Tablet. This tablet is seen as a basic tablet for home use, but powered by their powerful Tensor G2 chip.
The uniqueness of this tablet is, it will support a magnetic connection to the dock that can transform into a smart screen like the Nest Hub Max. The latest Gurman reports that Apple in 2023 will also come with more or less the same accessories, where there will be a special dock that can be used with the iPad to turn it into a separate smart screen.
The Apple connected device until today is only the Apple HomePod, with this dock they can compete with the Pixel Tablet and other smart screen products such as the Google Nest Hub or in the Amazon Echo series. Just like Google, this Apple product is said to be able to turn the iPad into a gadget for use in the kitchen, living room or bedside table.
If this product launches, it could possibly be a hub for controlling Apple Home, Apple Music, answering FaceTime calls and more.
