About

Apple HomePod is Apple's smart speaker product line — including the HomePod (2nd generation, February 2023 at $299) and HomePod mini (November 2020 at $99) — providing high-fidelity spatial audio, Siri voice assistant, and HomeKit smart home hub capabilities for Apple ecosystem users. Manufactured by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), HomePod differentiates through computational audio processing (the S9 chip dynamically equalizes sound to each room's acoustic properties), deep Apple Music and AirPlay 2 integration, and Ultra Wideband (UWB) presence sensing that enables "hand-off" audio transitions as users move between iPhone and HomePod.
