A new smart home device called the HomePad is reportedly on the horizon. While Apple usually sticks to safe color choices for home hardware, a recent online leak suggests the company is planning to release the product in a few distinct shades this time.

This gives buyers a clear timeline for when they can pick out a favorite finish and add the display to their home networks.
