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.

Based on a statement by Redmi executive on weibo, it seems that Redmi could be planning on releasing a “mini” smartphone in the near future. While not much is known in regards to when the smartphone will be available for purchase, the executive did mention that a smaller smartphone will come with a much smaller battery capacity due to the size of the smartphone.

Recently, the SEGA Genesis Mini was announced during an E3 Conference in Los Angeles, USA starting from the price of 79USD. The mini console comes with up to 42 games pre-installed such as Castlevania: Bloodlines, Sonic The Hedgehog series, Tetris and more. That said, Epicsoft Asia notified that the console is expected to be available for purchase via Impulse Gaming on the 19 September 2019, starting from the price of RM359.
