The brand informed the American media

 of its decision on Saturday, reports

The Apple HomePod will still be available for sale while supplies last.

But the company prefers to focus on the mini version, more compact, less expensive and offering better sound quality.

Already out of stock in some colors

In addition, with the HomePod mini, Apple has managed to improve interactions with Siri.

This aspect was one of the weak points of the original HomePods compared to other competitive products.

It is still possible to find a HomePod speaker "on the Apple site, in Apple Stores and at affiliated resellers," said the brand - but while stocks last.

The product is already sold in certain colors.

Note that Apple will continue to update the HomePod software and Apple Care support will still be available for the product.
