We have been talking for weeks about the possible release of a new version of HomePod Minia product that, although it is not the most premium of its series, and of which even one with a screen is expected, in the style of a personal assistant, is very loved by many.
The needs for more powerful hardware, which meets the requirements of Apple's future Siri and AIhas made the company fully immerse itself in a new model, which we will possibly see in a few hours, on November 12, as we had already anticipated.
HomePod Mini: imminent launch
The first reason that led us to assume this is due to Apple's announcement to its stores, which would renew their exhibitions, this morning, which means that they will change certain products for others, or in other words, something new will come out.
Among the options, we have the Apple TV, and these HomePod Mini, and they may possibly take advantage of the day for the joint launch, something that the company B&H, one of Apple's main retail partners in the professional audio and video equipment market, would have confirmed to us, because, from this moment, They consider the current HomePod Mini, discontinuedsomething that would not happen except for the release of a new one.
Apple's smart speaker will also feature a revamped wireless chip, a next-generation ultra-wideband chip, and a notable improvement in sound quality. In addition, Apple has experimented with new finishes, including one in red, so not only will the hardware be better, but we will notice a higher quality device.
We still do not know the price of these, although it would not take long to happen, since, if it is a global launch, the first stores that open will reveal everything, and In a few hours it could be listed in the Apple Storeas well as its official suppliers.
The current HomePod mini, which is actually the original HomePod mini, since a second version has not been released yet, was launched in 2020, despite the fact that in 2021 new colors were added to the range, but without changes or improvements to the internal hardware, only aesthetic ones. That is, more than 5 years would have passed with the same model, which, while still useful and functional, could fall short of Apple's expectations for 2026.
And you, do you consider that a HomePod Mini 2 was necessary After so much time, or do you think that the current one, at least for now, was still enough? We will see at what price it is presented, and the real news confirmed, to be able to ensure, with greater or lesser certainty, whether it is a launch that is worth it, or not. We believe that it was time, and more so waiting for a revolution of Siri and Apple Intelligence, for which, like the rest of the equipment, it needs more specific hardware. Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if you would buy it or not, and what that decision depends on. We will know more shortly.
