Apple first announced the HomePod mini last fall. As you’d expect, the speaker comes with deep integration with the company’s other products. In addition to Siri support, its built-in U1 ultra-wideband chip allows you to quickly and easily hand off audio from your iPhone to the speaker. It’s also possible to pair two HomePod minis for stereo sound. Another option is to play the same audio on different HomePod minis in multiple rooms. All of that makes for a compelling smart speaker, especially if you’ve already invested in other Apple hardware. That said, it’s not the equal of devices like the Amazon Echo, which offers better value for the same amount of money.
