Loud speaker it had not exactly succeeded, and the company wanted to abandon the product. But, although he leaves behind the physical, the truth is that he has been a real source of learning.
As discussed at the time, the HomePod had been the prelude to technologies that would later be used in other audio products. And of course it was the seeds of HomePod mini’s success, already at a more moderate price. Of him, and of products that we still do not know, and which could be in development according to Bloomberg.
We already told you that Apple was going to start the development of new products for smart home. Among other things, the merger of a HomePod and an Apple TV, which would also have an integrated screen. Now, Mark Gurman has further reinforced these rumors, indicating that this device will have the full attention of Apple after the HomePod shutdown.
This report came with new details on the upcoming AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro 2. These new devices would prepare for launch in 2021, in the case of the AirPods 3, and 2022 for the AirPods Pro 2.
