HomePod 2nd Gen Apple Announcement Video - Does It Still Exists?

Greets:

I was searching for the 2023 video announcement for the 2nd gen HomePod, for the like of me I'm unable to find it. It died searching with both Google and YouTube, and all that appears are reviews and reactions videos, but not the official Apple one released on January 18,2023.

If anyone has better luck with finding that video, or even if there's an acknowledgment that Apple has decided to no longer make it public (which would be kinda unusual), I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

HomePod, 18

What are you trying to learn from that video? That sort of promotional video doesn't retain a lot of value over the years.

If you want information on the HomePod snd generation, start here:

Thanks for the replies.

It's rare that Apple would take down its event/presentation videos, which this "new" HomePod video was. It has plenty of event and presentation videos on its past products still online, so it was strange to not see that one.

I was hoping to eventually use snippets of the video for a future video I wish to make on HomePods, but also just from a historical standpoint it would have been nice for the video to still be available. It's a bit puzzling, head-scratching, but it is its decision in the end.

You can use a snippet or two of a video...very short bits. Plenty of Apple-centric YouTubers have done it, as long as it's not a substantial portion or the entire video.

Just because you see it on YouTube doesn't make it legal. Fair Use is a very tricky concept. Sites like YouTube are going to take down videos if a company like Apple requests it.

By the looks of it Apple has took the video down because the video was possibly too old?

It's unlikely that Apple would grant you the rights to do that.
