Description

Description

The Apple HomePod Mini is a small smart hub manufactured by Apple. It provides high-quality sound and features an integrated voice assistant, Siri, which can help you with various tasks and answer questions.

You can use the HomePod Mini to play music from your iPhone or iPad, listen to podcasts, hear the news, check the weather, your calendar, control HomeKit devices in your home, and much more.

The Apple HomePod Mini is aimed at users who want a small and affordable, yet powerful and high-quality smart hub for their home.

HomePod mini

Control Your Devices Smartly

The smart speaker HomePod mini by Apple has a small size with a height of 3.3 inches. Additionally, it offers 360-degree sound so it can be heard in every corner of your space.

A speaker for all tasks

The HomePod mini allows you to enjoy your favorite music selections and more. Through Siri, you can control various smart home devices using the HomeApp, and if an iPhone comes close, its screen will automatically display that the HomePod mini is playing.

Beautiful design. User-friendly control.

The HomePod mini has a minimalist design in a ball shape to fit anywhere in your space. Its shape and the fabric mesh that surrounds it allow sound to pass through it. Additionally, the backlit touch surface on the top allows you to control it.

Create a complete sound system

If you place more HomePod mini speakers in your space, you can create a complete sound system. Ask Siri to play a song everywhere or a different song in each room.

Music every moment

If you are listening to music or a podcast and need to continue, you can do so on your iPhone without missing a beat, simply by bringing your iPhone close to the HomePod mini.

A unified ecosystem

The HomePod mini also works with other Apple devices. Receive an incoming call from your iPhone, listen to music on your Mac, or elevate the sound on your Apple TV.

Siri Smart Assistant

Control your daily routine with your voice

Siri is the smart assistant that makes the HomePod mini the center of your family's activities in your space. Whether you need to get updates on daily activities, control your smart devices, or simply listen to your favorite song - just ask Siri.

What is a Smart Hub?

A smart hub acts as the central control system for your smart home devices. It connects to the internet and communicates with compatible devices using wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee.

Through a smartphone app, browser-based dashboard, or voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, you can control devices such as smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more.

A smart hub can also automate everyday tasks based on your preferences, such as turning on lights when someone enters a room or adjusting the thermostat throughout the day.

One of the main advantages of a smart hub is that it lets you manage multiple devices from a single interface, making your smart home easier and more convenient to control.


How does it help me make my home smarter?

  • Remote Control: With the smart hub, you can control your smart home remotely using your mobile phone or computer. This allows you to manage your home even when you are not there.

  • Energy Saving: The smart hub can coordinate your devices and help save energy. For example, it can control your smart lights and turn them off automatically when they are not needed.

  • Automation: Automation is a key factor in the operation of a smart home, and smart hub devices significantly contribute to the creation of automations. This can include creating automatic rules for turning devices on and off, adjusting the home's temperature, setting the lighting, and much more. Automation helps you save time, reduce energy costs, and make your life easier. A smart hub can facilitate the creation of automations in your smart home, as it acts as a central controller for your various devices. It can connect your devices and coordinate their functions using built-in sensors and other technologies. It can also work with other smart home systems, such as the smart lock or smart camera.

Advantages of a Smart Hub

A smart hub connects your smart home devices and lets you manage them from one place, such as your phone or tablet. Some of the advantages include:

  • Convenience: Control multiple devices from a single app, making everyday management simpler and more efficient.
  • Time-saving: Automate and schedule actions across your home, such as adjusting the temperature or turning devices on and off without manual input.
  • Increased security: Manage security cameras, alarms, and other safety devices remotely to keep your home protected at all times.
  • Cost-saving: Control lighting and thermostats more efficiently to reduce energy usage and lower your energy bills.

What should I consider before buying a Smart Hub?

  • Compatibility: Ensure that the smart hub you choose is compatible with the devices you have in your home. Check the smart hub's specifications and make sure it supports your devices.

  • Platform: Ensure that the smart hub supports the software platform you wish to use. Some smart hubs use different platforms, so make sure you have the right platform for the smart hub you want to purchase.

  • Security: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has good security practices and is updated for the latest security threats. Smart hubs are connected to the internet and can be a target for malicious attackers.

  • Features: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has all the functions you need.

Connectivity with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Thread

  • Bluetooth: Connects with smart devices via Bluetooth and has a range of approximately 10 meters.
  • Wi-Fi: Connects with smart devices via Wi-Fi network. Supported by smartphone.
  • Thread: A wireless protocol developed by a group of companies, designed to allow its protocol devices to communicate even when the WiFi network is weak.

Compatibility with other Apple devices

The Smart Hub is compatible with the following Apple devices.

  • Compatible with Apple HomeKit
  • Number of speakers: 1

Skroutz tips

We’ve gathered insights from user reviews for you!

  • According to user reviews, Siri listens to everything without you having to shout, even from another room. Specifically, some users mention that they were impressed with how well it listens, as it understands you even if you speak to it in a whisper.
  • Its interaction with other devices, such as an iPhone for example, is excellent. If your phone is near the hub, it asks if you want to transfer the call. Also, if you gently tap your phone while music is playing, it transfers to the speaker, and so on.
  • It does not have a battery but connects to power.
  • Quite good sound.
  • Convenient size (small, fits everywhere).

    The product is good overall. The only thing to keep in mind is which plug type you order — mine didn’t fit, so I had to use an adapter.

    After about 4 years with the HomePod mini, I can't say that I regret buying them (I have 5).

    The positives are:
    The quality of the build but especially the sound.
    Siri for the smart devices in the house.
    Sensor for room temperature/humidity.
    You can listen to the same music in every room.
    You can listen to music in combination with another AirPlay speaker like Sonos.

    The negatives:
    They are not many watts and do not have strong bass.
    Siri does not speak Greek...
    The price should be 80-100 euros.

    This review is about a variation of the product

    Positives:
    1) beautiful
    2) good sound

    Negatives
    1) You need to have an Apple Music subscription for it to take commands
    2) Even if you have a subscription (which I do), it doesn't take commands for Greek songs and rarely for a specific track, meaning you have to say play this or that singer or request a foreign song... nothing like Spotify (which I also have a subscription for), which is by far better.
    3) If you don't have internet (we had an outage in the neighborhood) it doesn't work, meaning you can't just throw a song via Bluetooth like you would with a simple €5 speaker. What irony that a €150 speaker can't do it but a €5 speaker can.
    4) We will have to buy a second speaker from another brand, since quite often we might not have internet. *And with a weak signal it underperforms.

    Excellent smart home hub and speaker! Excellent sound quality. Beautiful design. Easy to interact with Siri. I’ve been using it for several years already. It still looks and works like on the first day. I recommend it.
    I just don’t understand why the price increased. I bought it for 99€ in Jan 2023. Since then Apple didn’t release any upgrades to this model. With time the price should go down but now it costs 134€

    This review is about the manufacturer colour: Midnight

    I've had it for 2 years. The sound quality is EXCELLENT!!! And the build is of high quality. In my opinion, it's very worth it! Especially if you have an iPhone and a subscription to Apple Home, it's very good. Also, you can tell Siri to play songs from Spotify, and it will play without needing the iPhone, only it will be with AirPlay, but that's good too! I would say that until 2025 it's worth it, or at least I wouldn't find a reason to replace it with another. The best thing is to get two and use them as speakers for music from TV, mobile, etc. Anyway, it's worth it!!!

    I've had it for 2 years now. Nice speaker and connects well with devices of the same brand. On the downside, the fact that it wasn't supposed to be released in Greece (according to support) has caused me to have issues twice, and it doesn't connect to Apple's server. The problem comes and goes intermittently, but if you want it as a main hub in a smart home, it creates issues

    This review is about the manufacturer colour: Midnight

    Excellent sound - impressive for its size. I got it for HomeKit and Matter for home automation.

    Everything works correctly. I removed one star because if you activate Siri on this, Siri on the phone becomes less functional. If I tell my phone to call someone, it does so necessarily through the HomePod. This means that everyone in the house hears it, and if I want to change rooms, I can't...

    And if I disable personal requests on the HomePod, instead of answering the phone, the HomePod answers again and now says it can't make calls without the personal requests option enabled.

    I pseudo-solved it by setting the phone to listen for the command 'Siri' and the HomePod only to "Hey Siri." So if I want to address the phone only, I can.

    If you have a third Siri device (iPad/MacBook), it essentially creates the same confusion.

    DO NOT BUY IT!! continuous disconnection problems while listening to music to the point of frustration! I had also read other comments that it is a bad product but I didn't believe it, and I trusted the quality of this brand (it is very sturdy, with good materials) but the disconnection problems can drive you crazy! I would really like to sell it to someone who might manage somehow, but I don't know how. In any case, DO NOT BUY IT! (to add to the cons, the sound is also mediocre and low). I am an Apple fan, and I have all their devices, but here, I dare to say that it needs excessive improvement, otherwise immediate withdrawal of this product!

    I wanted to buy a speaker for a long time. I had seen many from JBL, which were too expensive. A friend of mine knows that I am an Apple user and recommended the HomePod to me. It's a great investment. It's a very powerful speaker, but it doesn't have a battery. It needs to be constantly plugged into the socket. It connects with Airplay to all Apple devices. The sound is loud, clear, and with good bass. When I heard its capabilities at full volume, I was shocked. It's not for parties, but it's definitely worth its money. It was purchased for 120€ in black color. One of the best purchases I have made.

    Purchase price €80.

    Usefulness:
    • It is ONLY recommended for those who are already in the Apple ecosystem and want to get deeper into it.
    • If you have iPhone(s), HomeKit, Apple Music, AirTag(s) you will especially enjoy it.
    • If you don't have the above, it will probably only be useful for AirPlay and talking to Siri.

    Technical:
    • Quality construction
    • Sound better than you expect for its size
    • Automation via HomeKit works flawlessly
    • Apple devices discover and connect to it directly
    • Most problems are solved simply by bringing the iPhone close (e.g. changing WiFi network).

    Update:
    It broke after 3 years.

    Quite a good speaker both in terms of sound quality and size, and in terms of connectivity. I didn't find it quite responsive in commands, though, but that was purely a Wi-Fi issue since it connects through that and not Bluetooth. It has several functions besides the sound it offers, but only for Apple users, as I believe all Apple products are for such users due to the software. I don't know if any Android device could find it and play music through a familiar network because we don't have anything Android at home. However, I will check and get back to you.

    The best thing in my opinion, I have connected Nanoleaf bulbs and lights, Meross LED strips, a Meross WiFi power strip that I charge with voice commands or automatically with shortcuts on my iPhone when the battery is between 25-85%. I have uploaded a video below: [link to YouTube video]. I have had it for about 8 months and it works perfectly. I also bought a second one in orange, which I found on sale for 89 euros and got a 25% refund. I grouped them together and both have perfect sound. With the 16.3 upgrade, you can also see room temperature and humidity

    A positive: the sound for its size is decent.
    Otherwise, it's not worth its money, especially if you live in Greece. Compatibility only with Apple Music, which is unthinkable when other devices have the ability to be compatible with everything. Apple, once again, demonstrates its monopolistic tactics, and their work on this particular product is unacceptable. These are the words of someone who owns a Mac, MacBook, iPad, AirPods, and Apple Watch.
    Pure disappointment.

    This review is about a variation of the product

    The only reason I don't give it a 5/5 but something that someone who will buy it should pay attention to, is that it cannot connect via classic Bluetooth but only through airplay, which is the standard way of connectivity in the Apple ecosystem, in other words using WiFi. This results in improper playback when the connection is slow. I don't even know if it works with any other device besides Apple that doesn't have airplay and that is bad in itself. Also, because I have it in the office, every time I approach it, it shows a connection indication, which is good only when you actually want to play something, not when it constantly shows it. Otherwise, it's a very cool speaker.

    Quality. Powerful for its size. Worth it in combination with an Apple Music subscription where everything is available in lossless audio. Homepod mini and Apple Music lossless audio have very good quality. It combines very nicely with Apple TV.

    update 14/04/23: Buying a second one is worth it. They connected with each other. They play anything together. Sound upgrade. Louder and higher quality sound. They play very nicely from Apple Music and Apple TV+. They cooperate very nicely with Apple TV and iPad devices, generally with the Apple ecosystem.

    I just don’t understand why the price increased. I bought it for 99€ in Jan 2023. Since then Apple didn’t release any upgrades to this model. With time the price should go down but now it costs 134€

Description & Specifications

The Apple HomePod Mini is a small smart hub manufactured by Apple. It provides high-quality sound and features an integrated voice assistant, Siri, which can help you with various tasks and answer questions.

You can use the HomePod Mini to play music from your iPhone or iPad, listen to podcasts, hear the news, check the weather, your calendar, control HomeKit devices in your home, and much more.

The Apple HomePod Mini is aimed at users who want a small and affordable, yet powerful and high-quality smart hub for their home.

HomePod mini

Control Your Devices Smartly

The smart speaker HomePod mini by Apple has a small size with a height of 3.3 inches. Additionally, it offers 360-degree sound so it can be heard in every corner of your space.

A speaker for all tasks

The HomePod mini allows you to enjoy your favorite music selections and more. Through Siri, you can control various smart home devices using the HomeApp, and if an iPhone comes close, its screen will automatically display that the HomePod mini is playing.

Beautiful design. User-friendly control.

The HomePod mini has a minimalist design in a ball shape to fit anywhere in your space. Its shape and the fabric mesh that surrounds it allow sound to pass through it. Additionally, the backlit touch surface on the top allows you to control it.

Create a complete sound system

If you place more HomePod mini speakers in your space, you can create a complete sound system. Ask Siri to play a song everywhere or a different song in each room.

Music every moment

If you are listening to music or a podcast and need to continue, you can do so on your iPhone without missing a beat, simply by bringing your iPhone close to the HomePod mini.

A unified ecosystem

The HomePod mini also works with other Apple devices. Receive an incoming call from your iPhone, listen to music on your Mac, or elevate the sound on your Apple TV.

Siri Smart Assistant

Control your daily routine with your voice

Siri is the smart assistant that makes the HomePod mini the center of your family's activities in your space. Whether you need to get updates on daily activities, control your smart devices, or simply listen to your favorite song - just ask Siri.

What is a Smart Hub?

A smart hub acts as the central control system for your smart home devices. It connects to the internet and communicates with compatible devices using wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee.

Through a smartphone app, browser-based dashboard, or voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, you can control devices such as smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more.

A smart hub can also automate everyday tasks based on your preferences, such as turning on lights when someone enters a room or adjusting the thermostat throughout the day.

One of the main advantages of a smart hub is that it lets you manage multiple devices from a single interface, making your smart home easier and more convenient to control.


How does it help me make my home smarter?

  • Remote Control: With the smart hub, you can control your smart home remotely using your mobile phone or computer. This allows you to manage your home even when you are not there.

  • Energy Saving: The smart hub can coordinate your devices and help save energy. For example, it can control your smart lights and turn them off automatically when they are not needed.

  • Automation: Automation is a key factor in the operation of a smart home, and smart hub devices significantly contribute to the creation of automations. This can include creating automatic rules for turning devices on and off, adjusting the home's temperature, setting the lighting, and much more. Automation helps you save time, reduce energy costs, and make your life easier. A smart hub can facilitate the creation of automations in your smart home, as it acts as a central controller for your various devices. It can connect your devices and coordinate their functions using built-in sensors and other technologies. It can also work with other smart home systems, such as the smart lock or smart camera.

Advantages of a Smart Hub

A smart hub connects your smart home devices and lets you manage them from one place, such as your phone or tablet. Some of the advantages include:

  • Convenience: Control multiple devices from a single app, making everyday management simpler and more efficient.
  • Time-saving: Automate and schedule actions across your home, such as adjusting the temperature or turning devices on and off without manual input.
  • Increased security: Manage security cameras, alarms, and other safety devices remotely to keep your home protected at all times.
  • Cost-saving: Control lighting and thermostats more efficiently to reduce energy usage and lower your energy bills.

What should I consider before buying a Smart Hub?

  • Compatibility: Ensure that the smart hub you choose is compatible with the devices you have in your home. Check the smart hub's specifications and make sure it supports your devices.

  • Platform: Ensure that the smart hub supports the software platform you wish to use. Some smart hubs use different platforms, so make sure you have the right platform for the smart hub you want to purchase.

  • Security: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has good security practices and is updated for the latest security threats. Smart hubs are connected to the internet and can be a target for malicious attackers.

  • Features: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has all the functions you need.

Connectivity with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Thread

  • Bluetooth: Connects with smart devices via Bluetooth and has a range of approximately 10 meters.
  • Wi-Fi: Connects with smart devices via Wi-Fi network. Supported by smartphone.
  • Thread: A wireless protocol developed by a group of companies, designed to allow its protocol devices to communicate even when the WiFi network is weak.

Compatibility with other Apple devices

The Smart Hub is compatible with the following Apple devices.

Skroutz tips

We’ve gathered insights from user reviews for you!

  • According to user reviews, Siri listens to everything without you having to shout, even from another room. Specifically, some users mention that they were impressed with how well it listens, as it understands you even if you speak to it in a whisper.
  • Its interaction with other devices, such as an iPhone for example, is excellent. If your phone is near the hub, it asks if you want to transfer the call. Also, if you gently tap your phone while music is playing, it transfers to the speaker, and so on.
  • It does not have a battery but connects to power.
  • Quite good sound.
  • Convenient size (small, fits everywhere).

    The product is good overall. The only thing to keep in mind is which plug type you order — mine didn’t fit, so I had to use an adapter.

    After about 4 years with the HomePod mini, I can't say that I regret buying them (I have 5).

    The positives are:
    The quality of the build but especially the sound.
    Siri for the smart devices in the house.
    Sensor for room temperature/humidity.
    You can listen to the same music in every room.
    You can listen to music in combination with another AirPlay speaker like Sonos.

    The negatives:
    They are not many watts and do not have strong bass.
    Siri does not speak Greek...
    The price should be 80-100 euros.

    This review is about a variation of the product

    Positives:
    1) beautiful
    2) good sound

    Negatives
    1) You need to have an Apple Music subscription for it to take commands
    2) Even if you have a subscription (which I do), it doesn't take commands for Greek songs and rarely for a specific track, meaning you have to say play this or that singer or request a foreign song... nothing like Spotify (which I also have a subscription for), which is by far better.
    3) If you don't have internet (we had an outage in the neighborhood) it doesn't work, meaning you can't just throw a song via Bluetooth like you would with a simple €5 speaker. What irony that a €150 speaker can't do it but a €5 speaker can.
    4) We will have to buy a second speaker from another brand, since quite often we might not have internet. *And with a weak signal it underperforms.

    This review is about the manufacturer colour: Midnight

    I've had it for 2 years. The sound quality is EXCELLENT!!! And the build is of high quality. In my opinion, it's very worth it! Especially if you have an iPhone and a subscription to Apple Home, it's very good. Also, you can tell Siri to play songs from Spotify, and it will play without needing the iPhone, only it will be with AirPlay, but that's good too! I would say that until 2025 it's worth it, or at least I wouldn't find a reason to replace it with another. The best thing is to get two and use them as speakers for music from TV, mobile, etc. Anyway, it's worth it!!!

    I've had it for 2 years now. Nice speaker and connects well with devices of the same brand. On the downside, the fact that it wasn't supposed to be released in Greece (according to support) has caused me to have issues twice, and it doesn't connect to Apple's server. The problem comes and goes intermittently, but if you want it as a main hub in a smart home, it creates issues

    This review is about the manufacturer colour: Midnight

    Excellent sound - impressive for its size. I got it for HomeKit and Matter for home automation.

    Everything works correctly. I removed one star because if you activate Siri on this, Siri on the phone becomes less functional. If I tell my phone to call someone, it does so necessarily through the HomePod. This means that everyone in the house hears it, and if I want to change rooms, I can't...

    And if I disable personal requests on the HomePod, instead of answering the phone, the HomePod answers again and now says it can't make calls without the personal requests option enabled.

    I pseudo-solved it by setting the phone to listen for the command 'Siri' and the HomePod only to "Hey Siri." So if I want to address the phone only, I can.

    If you have a third Siri device (iPad/MacBook), it essentially creates the same confusion.

    DO NOT BUY IT!! continuous disconnection problems while listening to music to the point of frustration! I had also read other comments that it is a bad product but I didn't believe it, and I trusted the quality of this brand (it is very sturdy, with good materials) but the disconnection problems can drive you crazy! I would really like to sell it to someone who might manage somehow, but I don't know how. In any case, DO NOT BUY IT! (to add to the cons, the sound is also mediocre and low). I am an Apple fan, and I have all their devices, but here, I dare to say that it needs excessive improvement, otherwise immediate withdrawal of this product!

    I wanted to buy a speaker for a long time. I had seen many from JBL, which were too expensive. A friend of mine knows that I am an Apple user and recommended the HomePod to me. It's a great investment. It's a very powerful speaker, but it doesn't have a battery. It needs to be constantly plugged into the socket. It connects with Airplay to all Apple devices. The sound is loud, clear, and with good bass. When I heard its capabilities at full volume, I was shocked. It's not for parties, but it's definitely worth its money. It was purchased for 120€ in black color. One of the best purchases I have made.

    Purchase price €80.

    Usefulness:
    • It is ONLY recommended for those who are already in the Apple ecosystem and want to get deeper into it.
    • If you have iPhone(s), HomeKit, Apple Music, AirTag(s) you will especially enjoy it.
    • If you don't have the above, it will probably only be useful for AirPlay and talking to Siri.

    Technical:
    • Quality construction
    • Sound better than you expect for its size
    • Automation via HomeKit works flawlessly
    • Apple devices discover and connect to it directly
    • Most problems are solved simply by bringing the iPhone close (e.g. changing WiFi network).

    Update:
    It broke after 3 years.

    Quite a good speaker both in terms of sound quality and size, and in terms of connectivity. I didn't find it quite responsive in commands, though, but that was purely a Wi-Fi issue since it connects through that and not Bluetooth. It has several functions besides the sound it offers, but only for Apple users, as I believe all Apple products are for such users due to the software. I don't know if any Android device could find it and play music through a familiar network because we don't have anything Android at home. However, I will check and get back to you.

    The best thing in my opinion, I have connected Nanoleaf bulbs and lights, Meross LED strips, a Meross WiFi power strip that I charge with voice commands or automatically with shortcuts on my iPhone when the battery is between 25-85%. I have uploaded a video below: [link to YouTube video]. I have had it for about 8 months and it works perfectly. I also bought a second one in orange, which I found on sale for 89 euros and got a 25% refund. I grouped them together and both have perfect sound. With the 16.3 upgrade, you can also see room temperature and humidity

    A positive: the sound for its size is decent.
    Otherwise, it's not worth its money, especially if you live in Greece. Compatibility only with Apple Music, which is unthinkable when other devices have the ability to be compatible with everything. Apple, once again, demonstrates its monopolistic tactics, and their work on this particular product is unacceptable. These are the words of someone who owns a Mac, MacBook, iPad, AirPods, and Apple Watch.
    Pure disappointment.

    This review is about a variation of the product

    The only reason I don't give it a 5/5 but something that someone who will buy it should pay attention to, is that it cannot connect via classic Bluetooth but only through airplay, which is the standard way of connectivity in the Apple ecosystem, in other words using WiFi. This results in improper playback when the connection is slow. I don't even know if it works with any other device besides Apple that doesn't have airplay and that is bad in itself. Also, because I have it in the office, every time I approach it, it shows a connection indication, which is good only when you actually want to play something, not when it constantly shows it. Otherwise, it's a very cool speaker.

    Quality. Powerful for its size. Worth it in combination with an Apple Music subscription where everything is available in lossless audio. Homepod mini and Apple Music lossless audio have very good quality. It combines very nicely with Apple TV.

    update 14/04/23: Buying a second one is worth it. They connected with each other. They play anything together. Sound upgrade. Louder and higher quality sound. They play very nicely from Apple Music and Apple TV+. They cooperate very nicely with Apple TV and iPad devices, generally with the Apple ecosystem.
