Apple Might Launch New HomePod Later This Year or Early Next Year, Suggests Analyst
According to the prominent analyst Ming-Chio Kuo, Apple will potentially launch a new version of the HomePod in late 2022 or early 2023. In terms of design, Kuo suggests that the upcoming HomePod “may not be much innovation in hardware design.” Moreover, there is no word regarding the size of the smart speaker from the analyst. It is not yet clear if Apple will update the original HomePod or the HomePod mini. Mark Gurman also shared similar news in the past, suggesting that Apple is working on a new version of the smart speaker which would feature size between the HomePod mini and the original HomePod. It is very likely that Kuo is referring to the same speaker but nothing can be said for sure at this point. He also mentioned that the updated HomePod smart speaker will potentially replace the original HomePod. Moreover, Apple would price the forthcoming speaker between the HomePod mini and the original HomePod.
