When Apple just remove the original HomePod and it has been discovered that the mini models bring humidity and temperature sensors but that they have not been activated yet, we also find the news about new elements that they want to add to the device. This is how we talk about the possibility that these speaker devices in the home can incorporate screens and cameras. It is not an advance, because we already know that competing models already have these characteristics and Apple is already late. But better late than never.
The new news that is received from Apple, this time refers to the HomePod and it is not a single news if not that in the short term future we may see a totally new and renewed device. In this way we can find that in the short term the HomePod can include new features that would come in handy. We now have the news that it has been discovered that on the HomePod mini we have temperature sensors that have not been activated and that it is more than likely that can be started via software.
In addition to these discovered sensors, we have in perspective that they can incorporate screens and cameras. The new Bloomberg report suggests that Apple might at least be exploring the idea of new HomePod models with a screen and camera. To be able to compete with Google's Nest Hub Max, Amazon's Echo Show and Facebook portal. Gurman cautions that «launch is not imminent«, So there is no guarantee that Apple will launch such a product. So we can expect these devices rather in the long term than in the short or medium.
Apple's camera-equipped HomePod would presumably offer similar features like FaceTime video calling and HomeKit integration if it ever hits the market. It would be good to see it soon better than taking a long time. Because the American company should not ignore its competitors who already have models on the market and are sure to be the future.
