Journalist Mark Gurman declares that the Cupertino company has at least four new specialized home devices on its hands. These smart devices continue to be prepared, although Gurman also says that not all of them will be released. It also indicates that currently the high-end HomePod will be the most likely to arrive.

In this case, Apple continues to strive to have an updated HomePod mini. However, Gurman questions what the updates or improvements would be, although Apple could be updating its products to integrate Bluetooth 5.2 support.

During the newsletter, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg shuffles the two possibilities of smart home devices that are likely to come out:

• A combination between iPad and speaker that would be specialized for the kitchen.
• The other device would be specialized in being in the living room and would combine an Apple TV, camera and a HomePod.

Apple plans to create a network of specialized smart home devices for users. This is reiterated in that the company continues to focus on HomePod mini and Apple TV, always thinking of being the center of the home for many users.

Although there are really many more complex products and they are the ones that combine some characteristics of others, so these could take longer.
