THEthe new Apple HomePods, available in Italy from February 3rd, it is done in 4, indeed in five. Not only has his audio been enhanced, but she has added new abilities to his talents.
HomePod 2 packs Apple innovations, Siri intelligence and home automation features, while delivering a truly extraordinary listening experience.
HomePod 2, all new audio
Starting from the essence of its nature, namely that of a home speaker, the new HomePod introduces not only a renewed aesthetic but also an enhanced audio system. The display, which is tinged with a rainbow when touched – or voiced – is just the tip of the iceberg. The new speakers, who are now 5 and are directed upwards to maximize performance, take care of the high frequencies, while a powerful woofer and an equalized microphone have been designed to deliver deep bass. In support of the hardware, the S7 chip in synergy with the software is capable of scan the room and offer a calibrated sound depending on the position of the HomePod, which becomes even richer and more powerful when used a stereo pairing with its second pod (of the same generation).
Like the HomePod Mini and HomePod 1, these speakers are also able to generate different music depending on the room and use, and coordinate very well with AppleTv to enhance the sound of the TV. to use themulti-room audio with AirPlayjust say “Hey Siri” or press and hold the top of HomePod to play the same song on multiple HomePods or play different songs on each one.

In addition to its audio speaker function, HomePod is still an Apple product and as such it is not only very beautiful, but also multitasking. With voice support from Siri, or the Home app on iPhone or iPad, HomePod can manage a whole range of home automations. From turning on the light to our arrivalto muffle the music when we go out. From raising the shutters at dawn, to putting several home automation accessories into operation at the same time. Just buy the Apple compatible ones. And there’s really everything, even the security cameras, among other things to install them in the App just scan a qr code and get started to program routines and automations. Easier said than done.
With the new Home app, the user can intuitively explore, view and organize accessories.
HomePod intercom
How many times do we scream for calling the various members of our family from room to room? Another handy advantage of the HomePod family is that they can be used to call or talk to other rooms in our house. Even remotely. From the series, when lunch is ready or when someone is blaring music, there is no need to shout anymore. The vocal cords thank you.
Leveraging the Ultra Wideband technologyyou can also transfer whatever is playing on iPhone, such as song, podcast and even a call, directly to a HomePod.
HomePod has a streamlined design with seamless, acoustically transparent mesh fabric and a backlit touch surface. Available in white and midnight black.
It should be specified that all communication with Apple devices is encrypted and protected so that privacy is ensured with each use.
HomePod, how’s the house?
A brand new feature, introduced with the latest software update (iOS 16.3 or iPadOS 16.3) also transforms our Pod into a weather stationinside the house. In fact, among the new features the capacity for the HomePod 2 has been implemented give us your home’s indoor temperature and humidity level, even remotely. So if you have a smart home with connected heating and air conditioners, it is possible to correct the temperature of the house even from outside, perhaps in view of our return.
Siri on HomePod 2 is also able to notify us if a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm in your own home. Obviously we can ask Siri for information on the state of the air in our home at any time.
No more overcooked pasta
One last nice feature that you can activate on HomePod is notify us when friends or relatives are about to arrive home. In fact, if they have shared their location with us, via Where is, Siri can warn us when they are in the vicinity. A convenient function for example if you are waiting for someone for dinner, but also to know where the minor children are at any time. The same App allows us to search and find lost devices around the house. From the phone to the keys (if they connected a AirTags).
