 Surprise!  The arrival of a new Apple HomePod mini is imminent

It is increasingly clear that this very week Apple plans to launch new products, there are even those who bet on today for this to happen. The fact is that apart from laptops and the new Mac mini, some surprises are expected as an accessory. And, apparently, one of them may be the new generation of HomePod mini.

It has been speculated for some time that the Cupertino firm will launch an iteration of this product range which, despite not having a great sales success, is the way in which Apple proves that Siri has a lot to offer users. It is important to indicate that the same does not seem to happen with the HomePod, a product that has been discontinued for some time and that it is possible that it will remain this way despite its good sound quality -its bass is, without a doubt, the best among the smart speakers that have been launched to date on the market-.

The improvements that Apple is expected to include

One of the things that is very clear is that, according to the data that you have, the design of the device will hardly undergo any change. Apple thinks it’s modern enough to keep it. Yes indeed, the top control panel yes it could be different to offer better ergonomics. Obviously, Bluetooth connectivity to access the sound source will remain.

One of the changes that is certain is that this new HomePod mini will use S8 chip to offer a better global operation, something important now that Apple has decided to be part of Matter and has to offer access to devices from other brands. In addition, steps will be taken so that the spatial sound be part of the options that this team will offer –albeit by using emulation-. So it’s not like it’s intended to offer a complete makeover either.

A change that can be very important

We are talking about the price of the smart speaker. It seems that Apple has understood that this market is very tight, and if you want to have real options to be a brand that many users opt for, you have to lower the price of the accessory. There is no other. The exact amount is not known, but the new generation of HomePod mini may be a cheaper model than the previous generation… And this is not something that is very common in this manufacturer’s products (with the exception of the new Apple TV, Clear).
