Apple’s new Homepod sounds same as the old one
 

Just a bit cheaper

Early reviewers of Apple’s Homepod are supprised that the speaker system sounds exactly the same as the old one which Jobs’ Mob discontinued two years ago.

Apple arranged a preview for its favourite press officers journalists and they all agreed that the second generational Homepod it sounded the same as the old one. Apple’s problem was that a few of its favourite journalists never gave up their Homepods when they were discontinued.

So while the design is a little different, even the most ardent fans could tell these were the same speakers with fewer tweeters and microphones than the original model.

Apple insists that there are some insignificant internal differences between the two full-size HomePods: the original contained seven tweeters, while the revamped model drops to five. The microphone array has also been downsized from six mics to four on the 2023 speaker.
