News & Reviews:   homepod

If you are an Apple gadgets fan, this news might excite you. Recently, the Apple HomePod Mini has been spotted on SIRIM’s database. That said, what should you know about it?

The reliable tipster on everything Apple, Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed that the company would be releasing a redesigned HomePod in the first half of 2024, which includes a 7-inch display. This update to the product would allegedly be part of Apple’s “revamped smart home strategy”.

If you recall, there was a rumour claiming that Apple is developing new HomePods. The new models are expected to feature a screen and a camera. Well, we may just have an idea what these would be used for in the latest tvOS update.

If you recalled, it was previously rumoured that Apple could discontinue the HomePod. Instead, the company is expected to focus on developing the HomePod Mini. Now, sources claim that the company has been working on new HomePod models.

When the original HomePod was unveiled by Apple in 2018, it came with a few issues ranging from poor audio quality to staining surfaces the product was placed on. With that in mind, a report by TechCrunch seems to suggest that Apple will officially discontinue the original smart speaker and instead focus on the new HomePod Mini which is priced significantly more affordable than its predecessor.

When we're still in 2020, someone has discovered the launching plan of Apple next year and revealed four audio products are queueing up in the line. It is reported that a third-generation AirPods, a second-generation AirPods Pro, a second-generation HomePod, and the long-awaited over-ear headphones will be launched in 2021.

Other than the iPhone 12 series launch, Apple also unveiled the Apple HomePod Mini which is a compact smart speaker that’s wrapped in a satisfying looking mesh outer shell. Due to the fact that it’s a smart speaker, it comes equipped with Siri integration to help control a wide range of IoT products as well as act as a personal assistant to the user for the price of 99USD (~RM409).

It is not a drill that the Apple iPhone 12 series will finally make a huge appearance within hours. Before it happens, someone might have leaked the image of the iPhone 12 Pro revealing the design and four colour options. Let's take a look at this final leak before the real things arrive!

It was only a matter of time that Apple will manufacture a device that is similar to the Google Home, and they did. Revealing the Apple HomePod as the last product of the day during the WWDC 17 keynote, the HomePod is described as a music speaker evolved from the iPod, which can also take commands on doing daily tasks via Siri.
