Apple on Wednesday introduced the
second generation of its
HomePod smart home speaker with better acoustics and new ways to manage and control your home.
The American technology indicated that the
HomePod, with a more refined design
, has an "incredible audio quality with rich, deep bass and amazing high frequencies," according to a statement.
Among other things, the speaker's S7 chip is combined with
sensitive technology
and software that allows it to recognize sound bouncing off nearby surfaces and adapt to create an immersive experience.
The device supports the Matter connectivity standard, so it can be
linked to other accessories
to create a smart home ecosystem, including the iPhone and Apple TV.
Likewise, it has the ability to
listen to smoke or carbon monoxide alarms
and send a notice to the linked iPhone, and it has temperature and humidity sensors that allow it to regulate the home environment.
The new
HomePod features recycled gold in its
printed circuit boards and rare elements of the mineral world also recycled in the speaker magnet, elements aimed at reducing its environmental impact.
The device will be on sale from Friday, February 3 in the United States for a price of
$299,
and will also go on the market in Spain, France, the United Kingdom and other countries.
