HomePod mini

But there’s still room for improvement.

The Sound Recognition feature, announced in January, listens for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

The company is reportedly not "actively working" on a new model.

You're apparently getting one of the latest HomePod's features for 'free.'

It's said to feature the company's forthcoming S8 chip and a new display.

All AirPod models have been discounted, plus deals on Watches, iPads and more.

The latest orange, blue and yellow speakers get their first discount.

The original HomePod is getting lossless and Dolby Atmos.

Yes, the MacBook Pro finally got a meaningful update.

The HomePod mini now comes in more colors, but won't be available until November.

The new yellow, orange and blue models arrive this November.

Just don't expect lossless or spatial audio in the very near future.

Apple previously said it would enable lossless playback on the speakers via an update.

The company cited 'audio driver compatibility issues' as the reason.

Whether or not you'll notice the difference is another story.

The added integration also applies to Deezer's lossless audio catalog.

The chip could work in conjunction with other HomeKit-enabled devices.

Like the Google Home Max, Apple's pricey HomePod speaker will fade away without a direct replacement.

Move near the speaker and playback controls will automatically appear on your iPhone 11 or iPhone 12.

A combination of legal battles and stronger competition are major challenges.
