The conceptual HomePod Nano has been designed by Justin Latham as a rendering of what could come of the smart speaker series from Apple as it enters its next generation. The unit is imagined as an industrial tech product that incorporates a retro tech aesthetic to make it a true beauty to admire within the modern home or office environment. Inspired by the Braun T3 Pocket Radio designed by Dieter Rams, the speaker boasts a single mid woofer with two tweeters along with a display for displaying pertinent info to the user.
The conceptual HomePod Nano would seamlessly integrate into the existing Apple product ecosystem to update users on their upcoming events, weather and more. The unit would appear right at home on a nightstand or kitchen counter.
