The week that we are about to end has been very prolific in terms of leaks related to the HomePod mini. While some sources claim that this new speaker will be presented next October 13, in the event of presentation of the new iPhone, other sources point to what it will do before the end of the year.
However, the most that may interest the end user is the price, a price that could be $ 99. Ice Universe, a well-known filter of smartphones in general, mainly Android, has retweeted an image posted on Weibo of user Kang, an image that shows not only the launch price of the HomePod mini, but also of the entire iPhone 12 range.
According to this leak, the new HomePod will be 3,3 inches (8,3 cm) tall by the 6,8 inches (17,2 cm) of the HomePod original and its price would be 99 dollars. Inside, there would be the Apple S5 processor, the same one that we can currently find in both the Apple Watch SE and the Apple Watch Series 5.
Mark Gurman from Bloomberg states that It will go on sale between November 16 and 17, and that inside there will be 2 tweeters instead of the 7 that we can find in the original model, a reduction obviously motivated to reduce manufacturing costs and probably not the only one.
Regarding the second generation of the HomePod, at the moment there is no news that points to a near launch, so we will have to wait at least, until next year, as long as Apple wants continue betting on this high price model, which from the company itself were forced to reduce it a little over a year ago. A $ 99 HomePod mini can be sold like hotcakes and would be a great alternative to the Amazon Echo.
