Apple launches second-generation HomePod

The full-sized Apple HomePod is back after being taken off the market for more than two years. It now has a lot of new features.

The second-generation HomePod has a new set of four microphones, a new woofer, and support for sensors that measure temperature and humidity.

It also has a Sound Recognition feature that can listen to the beeps from a smoke or carbon monoxide detector and send alerts to your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

The design hasn't changed much, but the new model is a bit shorter and lighter than the old one.

It comes in two colours, White and a new lighter grey called Midnight. Both come with power cables that match the colour of the device and can now be removed.

In India, the second-generation HomePod costs ₹32,900.
