New HomePod!
Looks the same, but it's got a temperature and humidity sensor, Matter support, new ambient sound features, and new confirmation tones for some Siri requests.
Also: perfect tagline from Apple 😂
And here's our story on the new HomePod and where it differs from the original one: https://www.macstories.net/news/apple-announces-second-generation-homepod/
We've used the Internet Archive to compare the specs of the original HomePod VS. the new 2nd gen one, and there are some interesting differences.
I wonder if the new HomePod is going to sound worse than the original one. 🤔

@viticci I wouldn’t be worried about the quantity of speakers as much as I’d be worried the OG HomePod’s amazing BMR tweeters seem to be more standard looking cones now.
@SloanStudio @snazzyq @viticci Totally agree. I have the original homepod. Its many shortcomings have been often discussed and the fact that Appple decided not to address **any** of them is kind of nuts. not having any inputs is one such shortcoming IMO.
