Apple HomePod Mini in Blue

Small yet mighty: the Apple HomePod mini packs an impressive sonic punch in a compact package. At a mere 3.3" tall， this smart speaker easily blends into your home decor or sits on your nightstand without taking up too much space. Despite its small stature， this device produces rich， 360-degree sound thanks to its spherical design， acoustic waveguide and high-tech computational audio. With the addition of the Apple S5 chip， powerful yet balanced sound becomes a reality. If you want to take your home audio setup to the next level， add a second Apple HomePod mini to the room for even greater immersive sound. You can even create a whole-home audio experience by placing additional HomePods or other AirPlay 2-enabled speakers throughout your home so guests can hear the music no matter where they are. Users concerned with privacy will be glad to know that your requests aren't connected to your Apple ID and your personal information is never sent to Apple servers.

An Easier Way to Stay Connected

Connectivity is at the core of Apple HomePod mini. In addition to being able to connect multiple pods together， this device can also connect to your other Apple devices. If you need to run an errand in the middle of a podcast episode or your favorite song， hold your iPhone next to the speaker and your song will pick up where you left off on your phone. Additionally， the Apple HomePod mini also helps you stay connected to your family and the world around you. With the Intercom feature， you can tell your kids that dinner is ready or it's time to leave for school through the HomePod upstairs. When you leave for your latest adventure， you can ask Siri via the HomePod how long it'll take you to get to the airport; your Apple speaker can recognize your voice and send the directions to your phone. If you have questions about any of these features or how to create a sound system in your home， our experts are available at 800-860-3577 for help.
