Apple's "Hi, Speed" virtual event not only brought the iPhone 12 to the world but also the immensely small but powerful HomePod Mini that is capable of transforming a regular household into a "smart home" with just the device. Siri integration would not need a massive upgrade at home because Apple packs it within a 3.3-inch sphere.
The HomePod was a renowned Apple device that offers a "smart home" integration using speaker systems that can be placed around the house. Apple's HomePod is twice the size of the newly released speaker, still offering the powerful sexperience promised by the company.
The famed "ambient feature" of the HomePod also made its way to its miniature version, still packing the same features and power despite the smaller size. Unlike the iPhone 12, HomePod Mini's publicity and talks were relatively low. The device also surfaced within leaks but was never confirmed or teased by Apple until its official launch.
Apple's recently concluded October 13 launch event dubbed "Hi, Speed" may have iPhone 12 as the star of the show, but HomePod Mini is on a league of its own. The spherical object can also be a worthy accessory to the iPhone but can be used for numerous more functions.
HomePod Mini is the perfect home companion as the affordable device itself, priced at $99, can change the household entirely. Siri is given a new body to perform its wonders and serve Apple users. HomePod Mini is one of the cheapest options for artificial intelligence right at hand's reach.

HomePod Mini: Smart Home Integration-Ready
Apple's HomePod Mini is more than the standard speaker system at home. According to the Cupertino giant, the spherical speaker offers "comfort and convenience without the complexity" right on one's home. Of course, the speaker will still deliver superb sound quality for all music and video streaming needs.
The compact speaker also aims to deliver a sense of privacy and security to homeowners. Paired with the iPhone, the HomePod Mini can extend its capabilities and functions that serve as the direct link from person to phone, anywhere in the house.
The HomePod Mini can connect multiple Apple devices simultaneously. Control the iPhone for calls and messages, connect the Mac for personal music experience, elevate the Apple TV's sound and deliver the best watching experience, and more. HomePod Mini will link the family's Apple devices, right at home.
HomePod: Speaker Can Produce Wide Sound Stage or Stream in Multiple Locations
Combining two or more HomePod Mini devices can fill an entire room and transform each with a complete sound stage, replicating that of a movie theatre. Apple integrated the so-called 360-degree audio experience that releases sounds from every part of the speaker's body.
A single Apple device can pair with a HomePod Mini and in turn, pair with each other to play a song from a sole source. You can stream songs in different rooms or parts of the house while still maintaining a perfect synchronization.
Apple's HomePod Mini packs the Apple S5 processor chip, the same one on the new Apple Watch SE and Watch Series 5. Built within its body is a three-microphone array that listens for a person's call for Siri, along with a fourth inward-facing mic that filters the command despite music playing.
