However, things didn’t happen as quickly back then but now Apple has officially discontinued the HomePod. The Cupertino-giant will continue selling the smaller counterpart of the smart speaker, HomePod mini. As per TechCrunch, Apple only wants to focus on the HomePod mini and stop producing the HomePod which was launched four years ago. The HomePod will be available for purchase on online stores, Apple retailers and Apple resellers till supply runs out. Talking about discontinuing the device, Apple told TechCrunch, “HomePod mini has been a hit since its debut last fall, offering customers amazing sound, an intelligent assistant, and smart home control all for just $99. We are focusing our efforts on the HomePod mini. We are discontinuing the original HomePod, it will continue to be available while supplies last through the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and Apple Authorized Resellers. Apple will provide HomePod customers with software updates and service and support through Apple Care.”More Related News
