Apple is obviously in the process of spring cleaning: Recently they dropped the iMac Pro, and now it’s the smart speaker HomePod that gets the job done. It writes the site Tech Crunch.
– The HomePod Mini has been a hit since its debut last fall, offering customers great sound, an intelligent assistant and a smart home control for just $ 99. We are focusing our efforts on the HomePod Mini now, confirms Apple to Tech Crunch.
However, Apple states that they will continue to provide HomePod software updates, as well as service and support through Apple Care.

«-HomePod has very good sound and is easy to use. But smart management seems too rigid and reliable. ” we wrote when we tested the Apple HomePod against other smart speakers in 2019.
A promising model in many ways, but now Apple has decided to drop it.
Thus, one is – until further notice – left with the little brother HomePod Mini if you want an Apple smart speaker with Siri voice control. However, it is not officially available for sale in this country, yet.
Apple is expected to hold a new product launch on March 23, but it remains to be seen if it brings something new in smart speakers.
