Summary
Rumours suggest that Apple is due to unveil a Home Hub at its WWDC conference, which starts 9 June, as it seeks to expand its share of the smart home market currently dominated by Amazon and Google.
The so-called Home Hub is expected to be an amalgamation of an iPad, HomePod and Apple TV, with myriad integrations for smart displays and cameras, and a more intelligent Siri.
Currently, Apple’s smart speaker market share is dwarfed by that of Amazon and Google, hence the need for Apple to update its offerings to compete.
This article offers tips for what to do with an old HomePod should you wish to upgrade to the Home Hub.
These include using the device as a smart speaker, repurposing the speaker components, or selling the item.
The article also warns against being too hasty in getting rid of your HomePod in favour of a Amazon Echo, which has its own limitations.
