Apple is reportedly making room in its stores for the new HomePod with a screen, expected in 2026.

In September 2019, The Community for Learning (TCFL), a school in the Dominican Republic, implemented a new protocol requiring students to place their mobile phones into numbered fabric pouches upon arrival. These pouches were secured with a magnetic lock, and students kept the locked devices with them throughout the school day.

This initiative served as a practical demonstration by the institution that the school environment and classrooms function better without the distraction of mobile phones.
