A lot of the most popular models within Apple’s vast line-up of products are topped by a flagship ‘Pro’ variant, and thanks to this concept, we can get an insight to how the HomePod would look if it received the same treatment! Dubbed as the HomePod Pro, this re-engineered HomePod transforms the device from the personal speaker that we have become familiar with, into an all-out home entertainment center!
Packed into the oblong form is a plethora of features that elevate its position within the home. At the forefront of its design is a 4K touch screen spanning the top surface of the device; through this, the user can control Apple TV, incoming Facetime calls and of course, music. These functions can be experienced in immersive definition that has been made possible through the 2 high excursions woofers, 10 ambient microphones and 14 beamforming tweeters! Its functionality now spreads into the workplace environment; keeping minutes, scheduling appointments and participating in group conferences can all be taken care of with this beautifully clever device.
