Gurman claimed that the refresh HomePod Mini and HomePod full-size will be launched as early as 2023. This estimated release date is also seen in the timeline recently provided by Ming-Chi Kuo, another reliable Apple enthusiast.

MacRumors reported that the new full-size HomePod model would be integrated with an S8 SoC. On the other hand, it is also expected to have a new multi-touch display on its top.

However, Apple hasn't confirmed these enhancements yet. This is why it is important to take it with a grain of salt.

Aside from the new HomePod Mini and full-size models, the tech giant firm is also rumored to be working on other smart home gadgets.

One of them is speculated to be combining the FaceTime camera and Apple TV functions. On the other hand, a robotic arm with an iPad and a speaker may also arrive.
