Unboxing Apple's new HomePod

Taking a look at Apple's 2nd attempt at the big HomePod.

[franky]

"At first glance, this new one looks pretty much identical, but there are some subtle differences" has to be the most consistent line I heard from people reviewing apple products

[adequatequality]

Apple has a great track record of discontinuing previously sold products and reselling them again as “new” with 99% of the the same look and features.

If the microphone can still listen to me while music is playing on it, then if I play a song that has the word "Siri" in it then will it activate itself?😅

[colemanbubar]

This feels like a step back for apple, in that they added quality of life features instead of removing them.

Power cable is removable also from 1st homepod

[MilkBarPlatinum]

The HomePod is really just Siri in a box.

What Apple did not make a Special Proprietary Trash plug system. That's insane, one in a million occurrences

When I was first bought. First time in over 10 years of my buying Apple products, it stopped working within 30 mins.

im asking for dis for xmas dis year dis gone be my first time having a homepod midnight two i have the beats pill plus but its not working i charged it but i aint turning on

[not-german]

... but there are some subtle differences.
For one, the price has tripled

[slumpeddengineer]

the first one did have a removable plug. the newer one has less tweeters but better tech in it. it’s rlly not that much better than the first one.

Does the homepod work like a regular speaker? I mean, I watch movies and sometimes the movies have on some parts low sound and you can barely hear it using the normal computer speakers. I want to buy one so I can literally have it next to my ear, can this homepod work as just a speaker?

Rare example of apple using a universal cable

[BA-pqvr]

Conclusion of this “new thing”: Same shell and small improvements inside… 😮😮😮

[OriginalRecipe]

If anyone is thinking about getting a hoempod, you should get the homepod mini. Its basically a homepod 2 but smaller, cool looking and has vibrant colors. Also theres a feature that will be activated with updates which is a thermometer sensor. Idk if its activated by now since I heard that a long time ago.

I like your videos more than apple's own videos and products.

[VatsalopBharat]

This looks so Much like the Echo Studio, I The only difference is the screen on the top

"It may look the same, but actually, it's completely different. Now power cable is removable and volume buttons are visible"
Wow
