It came as a surprise when Apple rolled out a big HomePod Wednesday, despite rumors swirling for a while about its eventual return. Cupertino put out the OG HomePod in 2018 but discontinued it in spring 2021, choosing amid lagging sales to focus on the HomePod mini.

So now that the full-size HomePod is finally back, is it any different from the original? At a glance you might not think so, because the exterior design is so similar. But there are significant changes.

It seems potentially much-improved as a smart home device, but whether it's a better speaker is questionable.
