I wish the top of the speaker behind the glass had a MagSafe charger built-in that would be awesome. Other than that the speaker is okay.

Hopefully Apple is developing HomePods worthy of the Apple Home (HomeKit) community with a display and AI compatibility, MagSafe charging, etc, fingers crossed that they will announce some sort of upgrade during the upcoming October 2024 event

"Pretty cool!" It's the bomb! Siri is going to be updated to AI level in the Summer.

Not on this old mini

Hi Ian, would you recommend getting the homepod mini in April or should I just wait until the end of the year until the new version comes out? It’s not even like the price has dropped since launch in 2020 (here in fact it’s gotten more expensive). I’ve also got Alexa at the moment, so I’m not completely on my own but Alexa can be quite annoying at times.

I think it’d be a perfect time to buy one. There hasn’t been any rumors about a new one coming soon and if so there isn’t much that could be improved on, at least in my opinion. Siri is supposed to become a lot smarter with iOS 18 but that’s not until September, but for what I use it for, it’s fine.

How long did it stay in configuration during set up. I bought one and so far it’s been 24 hours and it’s still not complete. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What software are you running? I had a problem a few versions ago on iOS 17. I just let it sit for 24 hours and then it worked fine. Did you get a set up failed?

@@ianabkowitz I'm running ios 17.3.1. And No i never got a failed message, I've just never had an apple product take so long to set up. I just repackaged it and was going to return it to Best Buy. If its normal to take a long time to configure then i'll give it another try.

@jonvaldivia7526 in my experience it’s mixed. I’ve had it take anyway from a minute to ten or even a whole day when it would just fail. If it can be exchanged it might not be a bad idea.

I had the same problem. This was the most difficult Apple product I’ve ever had to set up. I found this solution in the Apple forums which worked: Plugin to your computer, and using Finder in Mac or iTunes in Windows, choose "Restore and Update".

take homepod mini and make it optional to have a cord and that would be great,, like sonos era 100

it seems like your go to phrase is "I gotta say." Aside from that decent-good video definitely room from improvement. Keep testing things out and try using different phrasing but your off to a good start.
