Early in 2023, Apple is probably going to release a “new avatar” of the original HomePod
Early in 2023, Apple is probably going to release a new HomePod mini smart home speaker in addition to the original HomePod in a new form.
According to Apple analysts Mark Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo, the company will likely reintroduce the larger HomePod in the first quarter of next year after it is discontinued in March 2021.
Other “Home” products being developed by Apple are said to include a device that combines a HomePod with an Apple TV and a FaceTime camera.
A “kitchen-bound device resembling an iPad on a robotic arm is on the way,” according to reports.
According to AppleInsider, the other next-generation “Home” devices could show up at the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024.
Apple currently only offers the $99 HomePod mini. After being reduced in price from $349 to $299, the original HomePod with its much more impressive sound was discontinued last year.
Smart speakers are “unquestionably one of the essential components of the home ecosystem,” according to Kuo.
In order to reduce costs, the analyst also predicted that the tech giant is working on a new iteration of the Apple TV set-top box.
The Apple Watch, AirPods, and HomePods were included in the wearables/home/accessories category, which saw a decline of about 8% in Q2 earnings, from $8.8 billion to $8.1 billion.

Top Indian defence officials, including Joint Secretary and Acquisition Manager for the naval systems, were slated to be present during the signing ceremony.
India had been discussing the deal with the US for many years but the final hurdles were cleared a few weeks ago at the Defence Acquisition Council meeting.
What are Predator drones?
The MQ-9B ‘hunter-killer’ drones will crank up the surveillance apparatus of the armed forces, especially along the contested frontier with China.
In June last year, the Defence Ministry approved the procurement of the MQ-9B Predator armed drones from the US under a government-to-government framework.
The MQ-9B drone is a variant of the MQ-9 “Reaper” which was used to launch a modified version of the Hellfire missile that eliminated al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in the heart of Kabul in July 2022.
