Reports seem to indicate a HomePod refresh is on the way, but if the leaks about HomePod 2 mini are true, don’t expect major improvements for the new speaker.
It’s been five years since Apple released the HomePod mini. Built on the failure of the original HomePod, the company thought that offering a cheaper model with modest sound quality could be a way to make its speakers mainstream. Over the years, Apple upgraded its device with new colors, and even released a second generation of the HomePod with more powerful sound and improved audio technologies. Still, none of these releases were able to make Apple’s HomePod a success.
For a while, rumors about the HomePod mini 2 have floated around the web, but so far, its release still has yet to be confirmed.
