Apple hikes price HomePod Mini, iMac

The HomePod Mini continues to be the most affordable smart speaker from Apple running on Apple’s Siri voice assistant. The latest update in beta, called the HomePod Software 16.3, activates the hidden temperature and humidity sensor. This will not only provide ambient temperature readouts but it will also help with the automation features. Note that the HomePod 2nd Gen comes at a price of Rs. 32900

The 24-inch iMac, on the other hand, is the most affordable desktop Mac one can buy today. The system hasn’t been updated ever since it launched in 2021 and is still running on the last-gen M1 chip. The system offers a 24-inch 4.5k resolution display with 500 nits of peak brightness. The system also comes with a FaceTime HD camera and a quad mic setup. You also get colour-matched keyboard and the Apple Mouse.
