First generation HomePodu made its debut in 2017 at a developer conference. WWDCAlthough it has been described as a high-quality piece of hardware with perfect sound since its inception, it has not enjoyed much popularity even after more than two and a half years since its launch on store shelves. The main reason is its high price, which has led many smart speaker fans to prefer products from rival Google or Amazonat a fraction of the price. However, it intends to Apple soon to change with the introduction of a new generation HomeA pod that should be much cheaper and therefore more accessible to users. And thanks to leakerWe already know what processor will power this generation.

When in 2017 Apple u HomePodu announced that it is powered by the 8 A2014 chipset, quite surprising many of its fans. After all, a three-year-old processor is rarely put into a new product. However, recent years have successfully proven that the A8 in HomeThe pod is sufficient for its functionality without any problems, as it de facto only ensures the functioning Siri and the actions associated with it. Even with the new generation HomeTherefore, Podu does not intend to Apple deploy unnecessarily powerful processors that the product would have no way of using. Komyii's supply chain sources have found that the new HomePods will only receive a chipset Apple The A10 Fusion, which debuted in 2016 in the iPhone 7 and also powers the 7th generation iPad and iPod touch, for example. It is a very decent processor that will ensure HomeI will provide sufficient computing power for his actions.

More details of the new generation HomeUnfortunately, the sources did not reveal the pods, but we know from earlier that we should expect two models, one of which is to directly follow on from the original generation and the other to establish a new product line - specifically a series of smaller HomePods. The main weapon of the new products is supposed to be – as already mentioned above – a lower price combined with perfect sound. There are also rumors in the corridors about full Bluetooth support, thanks to which it would be possible to use the speakers outside the Apple ecosystem. As for the actual presentation of the new products, it will most likely take place by the end of this year.
Classic u Apple alarmchat old stuff from the warehouse for a few bucks and stuff it into an overpriced product... I'll buy the same sheep
Oh yeah, that's a comment again 🤦🏻♂️ If the product works well even with an old (proven by practice) processor, why put a new processor in the device if the device will not use its performance?!? In addition, there was pressure to reduce the price and improve the availability of the product.
Exactly as Jarys writes. I don't understand why a speaker should have a processor like the current one iPhone. Completely unnecessary. What processors does Sonos or Google have, for example? Amazon? That's not even the peak of what's on TV today.onech and it doesn't even say anywhere what's there.
On the other hand, there is nothing surprising about Wortos's comment, because "kicking" yourself into Apple the title of the article is already a bit encouraging, which is supposed to give the impression that it will be a product for 💩
Agreed, A10 Fusion is more than enough
To Wortos: What would he be in for? homeCan I use a newer processor, such as the A14 processor? The device doesn't do anything complicated, the processor would be completely unnecessary.
Exactly, A12 would be unused there most of the time, A10 is just up.
you can understand it anyway, that apple can make good HW even with a 4 year old processor, dare you say this about android? :DDDD when after 1 year is it lagdroid?
I dare, because the SoC doesn't matter, it's powerful enough. Questions are SW. at least you can see how you (don't) know yourself.
Yes, Apple can sell the SE with a 720p display and thick bezels around for a much better price than the competition. High price and cheap hw. And that makes sense to me.
smooth android? that horrible scrolling stutter is the main reason why I'm on iOS.
I would prefer a new one. airexpress port :(
So that's more of us - Apple Airport with WiFi wave 2 AC (or AX), BSD operating system, SMB 3.0 support and native/guaranteed support Time Machine!
Various dubious vfruit samba "emulations" supported by Synology/QNAP/Linux/etc, please... their reliability is terrible!
yes, so pretty and portable homepod, if it also worked as a powerbank, something like the JBL Charge or JBL Extreme, I'd buy it right away..
but that probably wouldn't be "home"pod ze, write some portable pod :D abbreviation portable version homefloor
Apple I like very much. But let's try to look at it this way, I'm buying Homeunder for some period (e.g. for 5 years). And since the SW is constantly being developed, it may eventually have more demands on the HW, which is already at the time of buying a new one Homethey have become obsolete, even if they are still sufficient for the fact that it is just a rumor. And it probably wouldn't be good if I Apple after a year of using the new one Homepodu said that oh what have we invented, but it will only work with newer HW, that will come soon, so if you want it, buy new ones again Homeunder. Otherwise, there could (even should) be some performance reserve, if we don't want to "ecologically" buy new HW every year, due to new functions in the new SW.
