Should you buy a HomePod now or wait for a new one?

Apple’s HomePod line got off to a rocky start. While there were fans of the original model, the smart speaker was widely considered overpriced for its features — for a long time, the only on-demand music option on it was Apple Music. A price cut couldn’t save it from being discontinued. The HomePod mini came to the rescue, and we eventually got a second-generation HomePod for people who demand features like deep bass and Dolby Atmos.
