Apple Brings Immersive Sound to Malaysian Homes with HomePod Lineup
Apple is expanding its smart speaker offerings in Malaysia with the arrival of HomePod (2nd generation) and HomePod mini, available starting May 10th. These speakers promise to deliver exceptional audio experiences tailored to every room in your house.
Rich Audio in Every Room
The HomePod boasts rich bass, clear highs, and even supports Spatial Audio for a truly immersive listening experience. This powerful sound is achieved through a custom woofer, multiple beamforming tweeters, and the powerful S7 chip. Despite its compact size, the HomePod mini delivers surprisingly big sound thanks to Apple’s innovative waveguide design and computational audio that creates a 360-degree listening experience.
Smart Home Control at Your Voice Command
Both HomePods come equipped with Siri, your intelligent assistant for voice control. You can use Siri to control music, podcasts, and your smart home devices with simple voice commands. Additionally, Siri can help you manage everyday tasks, set automations, and receive important notifications. The HomePod lineup can even recognize up to six different voices, personalizing the experience for each user in your household.
Seamless Integration with the Apple Ecosystem
HomePod integrates seamlessly with the Apple ecosystem, offering a smooth and convenient user experience. You can easily handoff music playback from your iPhone to the speaker with a tap, and get personalised song or podcast recommendations when your iPhone is nearby. When paired with Apple TV 4K, you can create a powerful home theatre experience, perfect for movie nights or enjoying your favourite shows.
Enhanced Smart Home Functionality
The HomePod lineup goes beyond just great sound. It also boasts enhanced smart home functionalities. HomePod can detect smoke or carbon monoxide alarms and send notifications to your phone, ensuring your safety. It also comes with a built-in temperature and humidity sensor that allows you to set automations for a comfortable living environment. Both speakers can control Matter-enabled smart home accessories, giving you a wider range of compatible devices to connect and manage within your smart home network.
Privacy and Sustainability at the Forefront
Apple prioritises user privacy with its smart home products. Communication between your devices and the HomePod is always end-to-end encrypted, ensuring your data remains secure. Sustainability is another key focus for Apple. Both HomePods are crafted from recycled materials and feature energy-efficient components, minimizing their environmental impact.
Pricing and Availability
HomePod (2nd generation) starts at RM1,549, while the HomePod mini starts at RM529. You can pre-order them from May 10th on Apple’s official website, app, or physical stores. With their advanced audio, intelligent features, and commitment to privacy and sustainability, both HomePods aim to create a seamless and enjoyable smart home experience for Malaysians.
