Through in-depth mining of IOS 16 beta code, foreign technology media 9to5mac found a homepod that has not yet been released. It is not clear how this model actually works. The code clearly states that it is not a homepod mini or the original homepod.
Access:
The unknown homepod is internally marked as "audioaccessory6", while the homepod Mini is "audioaccessory5", and the original homepod is "audioaccessory1".
Guomingpei, an apple analyst, said that the new homepod may be released at the end of 2022 or 2023. He did not specify whether it is similar to the first generation homepod or the second generation homepod Mini.
