HomePod is Apple's own smart speaker that is not widely sold. It comes with built-in Siri for users to control connected devices at home with voice commands or even control Apple Music. If there are two or more HomePods, they can be connected to each other making it a stereo system.
In 2020 Apple came with the HomePod Mini and then discontinued the HomePod in 2021. Since then, it has been rumored that Apple will come with a new HomePod that has a camera and runs tvOS and a smart screen like the Nest Hub.
Latest according to Mark Gurman, Apple will come with a smart device like a hybrid iPad and speakers specifically for use in the kitchen. He claimed that Apple is testing four types of prototypes for such products. This product will likely replace the original HomePod as it has roughly the same size. In addition, the new generation HomePod Mini may also be produced.
The new HomePod will probably take another year to launch. He expects the new HomePod to be launched around the end of 2023 or early 2024.
