Apple HomePod mini Review (In 2024!)

[@Yabigness]

Great video, can't believe I found such a new channel on my feed. Keep it up!

@@Yabigness Thank you so much!

I have 8, one in every room of the house. I also use HomeKit for all of my smart devices. The mini has made things so much easier.

it's actually a bit frustrating after I purchased 2 minis and found that there's actually a few seconds of audio lagging which sometimes a bit annoying, but after i get used to it, its actually a pretty good speaker, it got a decent audio quality and stereo performance, small enough for my desk set up, and for now, i am using homepod mini to control my lamps and monitor bar, and its really convenience .

Great video. Love seeing growing channels on my feed. An underrated feature of the homepod is the way it can serve as a hub for smart home products in the Home ecosystem. Great with thermostats and aqara locks and anything with matter.

@@BubbaOfTheZew I agree completely, since it has threads support it’s a great hub for that. I appreciate the enthusiasm and support!

[@ABestEver]

Had mine a week. Had to return them after trying everything to stop them from constantly disconnecting (start stop music)

Great review ! But come again , how many languages does Siri speak ? Only few ? The “important” ones ( from Apple point of view ) ? Well then, we deal here with a small speaker made for important people 😢

[@tristan_talks_tech]

In the United States at least, the languages supported natively on the HomePod are fairly small (English, Spanish, French, German, Finnish, Japanese) and only one can be “selected” to use at a time. This is expanding however. I understand that this can be quite limiting, especially for bilingual households.

[@anananananananananananana]

Can you ask it to translate a word or a phrase, provide a word explanation or synonyms?

[@tristan_talks_tech]

Yes! You can ask it to translate certain phrases, as well as coming up with syonyms for words.

[@anananananananananananana]

@@tristan_talks_tech Cool! Thank you :)

[@Soubhik12345.]

Can I access all the features of the HomePod Mini using my iPad Pro? I don't have an iPhone. Please inform me about this.

[@tristan_talks_tech]

You can setup and stream media to the HomePod with your iPad, if it’s on the latest software version. The only thing you wouldn’t be able to do would be the handoff feature, where you tap your iPhone to the top of the HomePod to stream audio to it.

[@wilty5]

HomePods are in desperate need of an upgrade to meet the needs of AI integration in to smart home setups. Hopefully innovation will come with their October 2024 event, if not there’s always 2025

[@tristan_talks_tech]

@@wilty5 I agree completely
