More details about Apple's upcoming HomePod smart speaker have been revealed from its recently released firmware.
Thanks to developer Avery Magnotti we now know the 'screen' has a resolution of 272x340 and the device has 1GB of RAM.
HomePod has a “screen” of 272x340 and 1GB RAM
As we reported earlier, the center part of the HomePod surface appears to be an LED matrix which could perhaps allow the device to display shapes/symbols. More details here.
Yesterday, it was discovered that Apple accidentally leaked the design of the new iPhone 8 in the same firmware as a glyph. Click here to take a look and please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
The HomePod won't be released until December.

I think you say "a LED" not "an LED"… but I ain't sure because I am French :-D

You use "an" before a vowel sound. So, if the pronunciation of LED is "el - ee - dee", then you should use "an".
