Apple home pod в россии
Всего $299, и умная колонка ваша.
Без особого анонса Apple снизила цену на HomePod в своём интернет-магазине. Умная колонка подешевела на 50 баксов: с 349 до 299 долларов. Причём некоторые американские магазины продавали колонку со скидкой ещё раньше. Теперь и сама Apple предлагает акустику по более привлекательной цене.
Дата выхода Apple HomePod 2
О технических подробностях грядущей новинки пока мало что известно, но первые данные начинают появляться. Так, инсайдеры заявляют, что в колонке будет улучшена поддержка Siri и расширена языковая поддержка. Это косвенно подтверждает тот факт, что HomePod 2 готовят к выходу на новые рынки.
Другим нововведением может стать FaceID в колонке. Дэвид Хо, президент компании Inventec, одного из крупнейших поставщиков комплектующих для Apple, рассказал об этой технологии в гаджете. Якобы, сейчас инженеры работают над внедрением FaceID. Это поможет повысить безопасность личных данных при работе с устройством.
Для умной колонки могли приготовить и интеграцию с жестами. В конце 2013 года Apple купила компанию PrimeSense, которая разработала технологию распознавания жестов в воздухе, которая сейчас используется в Xbox. В патенте на разработку 3D-датчиков TrueDepth ведется речь о применении усовершенствованного жестового управления в некой умной колонке. Судя по всему, речь идет о втором поколении HomePod.
Что касается акустической составляющей новой колонки от Apple, то судя по сообщению японского сайта Mac Otakara, в устройстве будут применяться динамики меньшего размера. Об их характеристиках пока ничего неизвестно.
HomePod is a breakthrough speaker that adapts to its location and delivers high-fidelity audio wherever it’s playing. Together with Apple Music and Siri, it creates an entirely new way for you to discover and interact with music at home. And it can help you and your whole family with everyday tasks — and control your smart home — all with just your voice.
Major sound,
minor scale.
This purposefully designed speaker creates rich, nuanced sound that defies its size. HomePod combines custom Apple-engineered audio technology and advanced software to deliver precision sound that fills the room. And at just under seven inches tall, HomePod fits anywhere in your home.
Deep bass with
range you can feel.
The Apple-designed high-excursion woofer is positioned at the top of the speaker facing upward, creating a wide range of deep bass that surpasses any traditional speaker. A six-microphone array, along with an internal bass-EQ microphone, analyzes and compensates for the effect of the room on the bass response, providing rich, consistent sound. And a powerful motor drives the diaphragm a remarkable 20 mm, so the bass shines through even when the volume is low.
Far and away
an incredible listener.
Six microphones positioned around HomePod allow it to pick up all the sound in a room. When you say “Hey Siri,” advanced signal processing, together with echo and noise cancellation, allows HomePod to hear you without the need to raise your voice — even if you’re across the room with loud music playing. After HomePod recognizes the words “Hey Siri,” what you say is encrypted and sent anonymously to Apple servers without being tied to your Apple ID.
High-fidelity audio
that’s all around you.
A custom-designed array of seven beamforming tweeters, each with its own amplifier, creates tremendous directional control. Placed around the base and using a folded-horn design, they send the flow of music toward the center and then out the bottom in a 360-degree pattern, resulting in an all-encompassing sense of space. This virtually eliminates early table reflections and allows for consistent high-definition sound.
The biggest brain
ever in a speaker.
An Apple-designed A8 chip orchestrates all the remarkable audio innovations inside HomePod. Like advanced signal processing so Siri can hear you over the music. Real-time studio-level processing that maximizes the bass while minimizing distortion. Buffering that’s even faster than real time. And upmixing of both direct and ambient audio. You get amazing sound, every single time.
Designed to be
seen and heard.
HomePod is wrapped in a seamless mesh fabric designed for aesthetics and acoustic performance. Available in white and space gray, it’s gorgeous from every angle — yet virtually transparent to the sound waves passing through it.
Knows how to
work a room. Automatically.
Setting up HomePod is quick and magical. Simply plug it in and your iOS or iPadOS device will detect it. Equipped with spatial awareness, HomePod automatically tunes itself to give you optimal sound — wherever it’s placed. Pair it with a second HomePod to create an unmatched stereo experience. And bring multiroom audio to your whole home with AirPlay 2.
Wall-to-wall.
Ceiling-to-floor.
It’s room-filling sound.
Place HomePod anywhere in the room. With spatial awareness, it automatically analyzes the acoustics and adjusts the sound based on its location. Direct sound, including the main vocals and instruments, is beamed to the middle of the room, while ambient sound is diffused into left and right channels and bounced off the wall. So the entire space is filled with rich, well-defined tones.
Control music throughout the home.
And experience a new dimension of stereo sound.
When you add HomePod to multiple rooms, the speakers communicate with each other through AirPlay. So you can ask Siri to play jazz in the living room and the Moana soundtrack in the kids’ room — or to play the same song everywhere in the house — all from where you’re standing. And for a wider, more immersive soundstage, put two HomePod speakers in a single room to create a stereo pair. Each HomePod automatically detects its placement and adjusts the music in balance with the other.
Keep listening.
Without missing a beat.
Whether you’re halfway through a phone call or listening to a song or podcast on your iPhone, you can easily hand it off to HomePod. Just hold your iOS or iPadOS device next to HomePod and whatever you’re listening to will continue to play seamlessly on HomePod.
The ultimate music authority.
HomePod is built to bring out the best in Apple Music. 1 With the intelligence of Siri and access to over 60 million songs, it learns what you like and helps you discover more music you’ll love. And that takes the listening experience to a whole new level.
