Apple plans to release a new HomePod by 2023 with some improvements over the original which was discontinued a year ago. Mark Gurman provides the new details in his Power On newsletter.
Thanks to information published by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, in his Power On newsletter, we know that a new HomePod is on the way for 2023. Rumor has it there won’t be a big design change, so will look like the original version that has been discontinued.
Apple will take over the HomePod and put the best specs possible on it
These are interesting details that Mark Gurman has released since they were rolled out to most Apple products. About HomePod, said it will run the future chip dedicated to the Apple Watch Series 8, the S8 processor. Looking ahead, you have no idea how it can perform compared to the original HomePod’s A8 chip.
Another interesting fact is that the S8 chip will have the same specifications as the Apple Watch Series 6 S6 processor. Maybe Apple will limit it for functions dedicated to HomePod. Attention, we are not talking about a chip dedicated to the Apple smart watch although those in Cupertino will have to clarify how it will work in due course
The S6 processor in the specs is faster than the S5 chip (from the HomePod mini), up to 20% faster. The product already has a code name, B620. One of the radical improvements of the new HomePod this would be an updated screen and that probably could adopt multi-touch functions.
And the home product similar to the Amazon Echo Show?
For several months now, Mark Gurman himself has been talking about a revolutionary product that would result from the combination of a HomePod and an Apple TV. We don’t know what Apple is raising by returning to a product that turned out to be a commercial failure, even though when it stopped selling it was re-evaluated. This last fact will lower the price, It won’t cost more than $300.
The original HomePod initially surprised with its sound quality. The HomePod mini is a more accessible product but it doesn’t compare to its predecessor. It remains to wait for more details on the rumors or leaks that clarify Apple’s claims with a new HomePod.
