The metal and rubber assemblies on the sides are actually passive radiators. They improve bass response by being excited by the back wave of the main driver to improve bass response without requiring a bigger enclosure. The principle is similar to bass reflex ports but arguably better suited for tiny speakers.

Also commonly found on Bluetooth speakers and even some sealed subwoofers (usually nicer ones that aren’t high-end enough to have two active drivers).

The speaker on the bottom is a subwoofer and the “metal and rubber” on the sides were the tweeters, so it has 3 speakers. If you pick one up while it’s playing you’ll hear voices coming from the sides and then bass coming from the bottom, it’s a really interesting design

There are a lot of small (1inch , 1.5 inch , 2 inch) full range speaker drivers out there now a days. They have power rated like from 1W to 15W (may be more). Reason they have more power for the size is thanks to neodymium magnets. For producing bass with these speaker drivers, passive radiator (two on the metal body) can be used.

It could be they plan it to be similar to the iPod shuffle. Get people into the Apple and HomeKit ecosystems. I bought one to use at work instead of the Bluetooth speakers we had used, which were great until the person whose phone served the music walked out of range. One person already asked me if they sold those things everywhere.

It’s interesting. Maybe it’s used as a loss leader to get people into Apple’s ecosystem. Also if people have one of these at home that otherwise wouldn’t have, they then may buy more or have a friend round for instance that then sees what it can do etc. etc. I’m firmly ensconced in the Apple system and I love it!
@MarlonDeLaTorreyoutube13 жыл бұрын
It´s kinda the same thing they do with the entry-level iPad. It´s a budget device to get people into their ecosystem. Also as a way to keep you inside. If you´re an iPhone user and are looking for a speaker, you´ll see this HomePod Mini price and maybe you´ll get it. You´ll love it, and due to its low cost, you´ll likely get more for other rooms. When it´s time to upgrade your phone, you´ll realize you need an iPhone to use your HomePods and will have to upgrade to another iPhone. Apple is smart, that's why it´s the most valuable company in the world.
