Smart speakers have been making installations in our homes and are living less. Through them it is possible manage all the home-changing accessories we have installed in our house, it allows users, for example, to turn on, turn on the lights, or watch security cameras.
Apple's proposal in this field is the HomePod, which model stands for sound quality it provides for its rivals. It features a Siri voice assistant, so users with HomeKit-compatible products can fool their voice with a speaker.
While Apple's competitiveness in this world tends to update its smart speakers constantly (especially Amazon, which launched Echo Studio a few months ago, a model that wants to compete with another type of apple bite by offering technologies like Dolby Atmos), The HomePod was introduced in February 2018 and has never been updated. That is why many users are wondering if Apple is working on a new model, and its price reduction for company employees would indicate this.
From $ 299 to $ 149.50
Apple has reduced the price of the HomePod in Spain and abroad from 349 euros to 329 euros, as well as in America, where you can get a Cupertino smart speaker for $ 299 instead of $ 349. Also, Apple employees can get company products are cheaper at a discount for a worker, so it's no surprise that HomePod is much cheaper for them.
Surprisingly, though, the discounts are still so high that you can buy a HomePod for the price of it: $ 149.95. This has led to speculation that Apple wants to eliminate as much stock as possible before the arrival of the new version. And will Apple be working on a new HomePod model, as well as an iPad, MacBook Pro and Apple TV by the end of 2020.
