New information supports the idea that Apple is preparing the release of a HomePod Mini. The brand's new connected speaker could be unveiled as early as this year. Renowned for his information, the leaker @L0vetodream claims that a mini version of the device will be presented rather than a classic HomePod 2 which could be a simple improvement of the first version.
there is no HomePod2 this year
only have mini one— Is there any solution (@L0vetodream)October 7, 2020
Towards a presentation of the HomePod Mini on October 13?
Apple has finally lifted the veil on the date of its next keynote—October 13. On the invitation, we can see the inscription “Hi, Speed”. The Apple brand does not say more, but we assume that it is referring to its iPhone 12, whose range should be made up of four new models. Among them, some could be compatible with 5G, which would justify this still vague mention.
While it is certain that the manufacturer will make its phones official, we do not know if it will take the opportunity to present the HomePod Mini mentioned by the rumors. We also remind you that Apple has cleaned up its stores by removing from sale all third-party devices dedicated to music, which suggests that the area will be entitled to some new products from next week. Perhaps with the release of HomePod Mini.
However, uncertainty about the presentation date of the HomePod Mini still reigns, although it is already interesting to wonder about its future price. The first version of the device was sold for $349 before Apple lowered it to $299 in 2019. Now, it is possible to find it for $199 at certain online merchants. We can hope that the new connected speaker will be more accessible than the HomePod.
During the October 13 keynote, Apple could also unveilthe AirTag object tracker, a device that has been making waves for several months now.
