Apple White HomePod Mini

Apple HomePod Mini in White

Whether you’re throwing a party or enjoying your favorite podcast like never before, the Apple HomePod mini is a small yet mighty device that delivers incredible audio quality. Powered by Apple’s S5 chip and innovative computational audio, this smart speaker is able to create rich, powerful sound comparable to that of much larger devices. 360-degree sound ensures that everyone in the room enjoys the same incredible listening experience and the device’s round shape makes it happen. Covered in seamless mesh fabric, the Apple HomePod mini looks great while also providing superior acoustics. Want to turn it up even more? Add a second HomePod for a wider soundscape. You can even connect to other HomePods or AirPlay 2-enabled speakers in other rooms, enabling playback and seamless communication throughout your home. Available in 5 great colors, you can even match your speaker to the room it’s in.

Designed to Make Life Easier

While the Apple HomePod mini offers undoubtedly great listening, it can do so much more. With the ability to recognize up to 6 unique voices, each member of your household can tailor their listening experience to their own tastes and playlists; they can also make requests via Siri that will go to their own devices. If you need to know how long it’ll take to get to the airport, ask Siri from the HomePod and get the directions sent straight to your phone. Let the kids know dinner is ready with the Intercom feature, which lets you talk into one speaker and delivers your message to a speaker in another room. This smart speaker integrates with the Home app so you can easily control other devices like the lights. Listening to perfectly balanced music is great, but being able to simplify life’s everyday tasks might be even better. If you have questions about the Apple HomePod mini or any of its features, please contact our Apple specialists at 800-860-3577 for assistance.
