Apple HomePod Mini review: an almost perfect smart speaker


It's only been just under three years since Apple's first HomePod was released. It seems much longer. Why? Because no one, including Apple, ever talks about it. Back in June 2017, when the smart speaker was announced (it took a long eight months until it finally become available to buy), the company thought it had the competition licked by adopting the familiar Apple tactic of arriving late but better.To get more latest technology news, you can visit shine news official website.

The trouble was that although it was clear pains had been taken to make this speaker sound good, though we certainly didn't think it was perfect at the time, a confusing UI combined with the then sub-par Siri to leave you with a pricey £319 smart speaker that, well, wasn't very smart at all.

As a result, HomePod 1 never took off like Apple hoped it might. So, like a disappointing child that never fulfilled its potential, Apple steadfastly ignored its sonic offering. Until now, that is. Here comes the all-new HomePod Mini, and there is much to admire.
A great many more people than the original HomePod, that's for sure. At 8.4cm tall and 9.8cm wide, it’s close to half the size of the new Amazon Echo – and crucially it is about the same price, too. Being just under £100, the HomePod Mini is decidedly accessible, especially compared to HomePod. It's no coincidence that Apple has priced this speaker keenly. The company is sorely lagging behind in the smart speaker race, due to that combination of a lack of cheap hardware and having, for a long time, a digital assistant that ran a slow third behind Google and Amazon's helpers.

Now Siri is a lot better – yes, it's been able to handle multiple timers for a while now – and with the data-security assurances that inherently come with Apple hardware, all the company needed to do was create a competitively priced unit that sounded half decent and, all of a sudden, the HomePod Mini is a compelling alternative to Alexa and Google devices. So, in short, this is a smart speaker for people who want the convenience of a digital assistant but always felt uncomfortable that either Alexa or Google Assistant might be listening, didn't approve of what Amazon or Google did with their data, or both.
