As with the iPhone 12 Mini, there was an expectation, both inside and outside of the company, that just providing a high-end music option with an Apple logo on it to Apple’s customers would guarantee success. Most obviously, not everything Apple touches turns to gold. I have a few take-aways from this revelation. The original HomePod has been available for three years, but it was immediately in trouble and has never met expectations despite price cuts and numerous sales. Apple will provide HomePod customers with software updates and service and support through Apple Care.” We are discontinuing the original HomePod, it will continue to be available while supplies last through the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and Apple Authorized Resellers. “We are focusing our efforts on HomePod mini. “HomePod Mini has been a hit since its debut last fall, offering customers amazing sound, an intelligent assistant, and smart home control all for just $99,” an Apple statement notes. Apple announced that it has discontinued the original HomePod and will focus its smart speaker efforts on the smaller and less expensive HomePod Mini.
