Hi Homepod Mini!

October 18, 2020172 words1 min read

Like small speakers for playing music, communicating with family, and controlling your smart home? Then I recommend Apple’s new “HomePod mini”, which has the features above, plus 360° audio and privacy, all for $99.

The HomePod mini, which comes in space gray and white, will be available on Nov 6, 3 days after U.S. election day. It is basically a smaller version of the HomePod, which was released in Feb of 2018, with the same colors and a touch surface. HomePod mini would come equipped with 3 buttons, to increase, or lower volume, and pause.

I think the best feature, which I have saved for this moment, is that the HomePod mini could obey your voice commands and recognize your voice to fit your needs. If Dad asks: “Play my favorite song”, it would play his favorite. But if you ask the same thing, you wouldn't get Dad's favorite.

Alas, it looks like I will need to save more to buy it, isn’t the saying: “A penny saved is a penny earned”?
