Apple is less than two weeks away from launching its new smart display, according to a new Bloomberg report. The report also adds details about the design of Apple’s long-awaited smart home hub.

Bloomberg reports that the home hub will have a 6-inch square display. The overall design is reminiscent of the iconic iMac G4, which featured a half-dome-shaped base with a metal arm holding up its display. The device is said to be “about as thick as an iPhone” with quarter-inch, black bezels similar to older iPads. It has rounded corners with “no sharp edges,” Mark Gurman says.

It comes in Apple’s “standard gray aluminum finish” with a “rubberized bottom to help it stay on a table.” It has a USB-C port for power and no built-in battery. The display connects to the base with a “polished metal arm.” There is a single front-facing FaceTime camera and no rear camera. A second version is “designed to be mounted on a wall” with a “thin, square-shaped base beneath the display.”
