With the release of the beta version of iOS 18.4, there is a surprising new feature: a cooking function in Apple News+. This feature offers guided recipes, a clear representation of the cooking steps and the option to save recipes. What is particularly interesting, however, is that this innovation could point to a previously unannounced product - the so-called HomePad. The HomePad could be a new smart home device from Apple that serves as a central control element for various rooms in the house. The new cooking function fits perfectly with a device that is specifically designed for use in the kitchen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many had expected that iOS 18.4 would primarily bring improvements for Siri. However, these are not expected to be added until iOS 18.5. Instead, the focus is now on another function: Apple News+ will get its own food hub with the update, which will provide exclusive content for subscribers. The combination of recipes, an interactive cooking mode and an optimized display suggests that Apple is planning more than just an addition to the News app. The hints in the code of iOS 18.4 indicate that a new Home product is in development that works with these functions (via 9to5mac<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
