The History of Apple HomePod
HomePod, "the speakers of the house," is a smart speaker developed by Apple Inc. and released in 2018. It was designed to work with Apple Music Subscription and Siri's voice assist. It was an excellent speaker that delivered high-fidelity audio and adapted according to its location in the house.
HomePods was notable for its sound quality. The speaker was 6.8 inches tall with seven tweeters, six far-field microphones, and a bass-EQ microphone that intuitively analyzed the bass' effect on the room. All of this is powered by Apple's A8 processor.
