Apple released a new version of the HomePod. The HomePod smart speaker comes integrated with Siri. The HomePod Mini, as the name suggests, is a smaller version of the Apple HomePod.
The new HomePod Mini comes with a cloth cover, and unlike previous versions of HomePod, the new speakers come with a rounder design language.
The HomePod Mini gets the Apple S5 chip and gets computational audio.
Like the full-size HomePod, the HomePod Mini still features a mesh fabric exterior in black and white colors, along with a small screen on top to show the Siri waveform. However, the new model has a shorter, spherical shape rather than the more elongated design of the original.
The HomePod Mini will function as a home intercom system that can function within the Apple ecosystem. The intercom system connects different Apple products.
Apple claims that the device comes with some security features to keep user data encrypted.
The HomePod Mini will be available for $ 99 and will be open for pre-order starting November 6 and will be sold in the US starting November 16. The speaker will be available in two color variants, white and gray.
