Apple has temporarily stopped developing new versions of its smart HomePod speakers, says generally well-versed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. MacRumors.
“Apple has failed to win over the smart speaker market,” says Kuo, concluding that not every new Apple product is successful. “Demand for the HomePod and HomePod mini was lower than expected. Therefore, development of new models has been temporarily halted.”
The analyst also says that Apple will present its electric car solution at the earliest sometime between 2025 and 2027. A week ago wrote Reuters that Apple will start production of the vehicle in 2024. The car would be equipped with a new type of batteries, with which cars have a longer range than current electric cars.
It is not known how Apple will produce the car. For example, the company can choose to enter into a partnership with another car manufacturer. The vehicle must also have functions to drive independently.
