Would be great if they just made HomePods that are more reliable

I wonder if this is going to have a scaled down chip somewhere in between A series and the M series we’ve seen so far. Maybe a 6-core CPU with 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores? A chip like that would also do well in something like an iPad Air.

Of course, for low cost things like SE models, Apple’s usual MO is to reuse as many existing components as possible.
