The price reveal really surprised me. The whole time I was laughing at the thought of having 1 or two of those per room. But at 100 bucks it’s a bit more realistic with all the features it offers.
Bluetooth and battery powered ability is a must have. Apple should make a ON The Go Pod. You are really missing out on a segment of the market that could be the best addition to your smart speaker line.
with cable? -I want to put one in each area of my house, can they all be heard at the same time? How does it turn on if I go from one area to another with the same song I play?
looking to buy one for my room, have the money, just need to convince my parents to let me. thinking of making a keynote. should i get this or a google speaker??
I wonder if the Voice recognition works with language too, Like It recognizes me so I could speak German to it, but My mom could speak Spanish to it, and others can speak English?
@@barackblows1942 what did u say? clean my house!...I see like major changes compared to previous updates.well you can't expect it to work at par with Google assistant and alexa.
@@dataone100 true, Siri is still trying to catch up with the Google Assistant and Alexa but finally Apple is focusing on making Siri better. Also, you can ask siri to catch you a ride with uber on the homepod, cause it finally integrates with your iphone.

Yes, since HomePod OS 14.2 you can even make your HomePod (original & Mini) your default speaker with Apple TV. My original Homepods now work amazingly with AppleTV.
I like how they had the breakdown animation of the speaker while they were telling us about it as if any of us are going to say: “Oh.. I see what they did there, clever Apple!”. Edit: now I want to know if sharks lay eggs.
But why there are so few smart home products compatible with siri/homekit? Everything works with Google or alexa but almost nothing works with siri...😔
For anyone disappointed about spotify, it’s apples biggest competitor in the music streaming industry. It wouldn’t make sense to cannibalize Apple Music memberships to sell more homepods.
@@hydralisk21 You can play music from Spotify onto homepod, but you cannot verbally requests songs to be played from Spotify. Edit: I may be wrong so don’t attack me haha
@@Denndenn142 I thought so too tbh, I’m confused. I use apple music so I can’t verify, but pretty sure you can verbally request from spotify. Someone should clarify this
I’d love one but seems like it’s mainly for use with iPhone Now I’ve owned an iPhone a 4s I still have it it’s immaculate not a scratch on it but it’s worthless now. The amount of money iPhones cost and the quick amount of time they become obsolete I’d never by an iPhone again. I have an iPad Air I’ve had it since it first came out and although the battery life dose not last as long it’s still going strong. Developers are still creating apps I can use my older apps get updated it’s a brilliant piece of kit. But iPhones only have a short life considering how much they cost.
I agree. Too expensive and too late into market. Plus Siri and HomeKit does not integrate with many smart devices. Think apple missed the mark by 2 years. Other system now have display and sound.
@@sakenu16 as far as integration, Apple, Google, Amazon and Zigbee alliance have created a coalition to have a connectivity standard for all smart home devices. Meaning, Apple won’t really get hurt as much because they were late to the market because all upcoming smart home devices will work with home kit natively. As for the display and sound, yes, I wish they would offer a nest hub alternative, but they’d probably charge twice as much for that.
I still don’t get why it needs the cord. It just makes it look ugly and makes it harder to put it in the places I want it. I just wish they went cordless like other speakers
Spotify is their competitor... why should they include spotify if they want more people to use apple music? Im using spotify as well and am sad that it doesn’t support spotify aswell but when it’s about money they’re doing the right thing.
smokebreakx thats why they donˋt advertise its support. But it will get spotify support with the new siri features coming soon. They want people to use apple music for sure, but they also want to sell homepods. Eventhough it will support spotify, i guess apple music integration will still be much much better
i'm more interested in this than the iphone 12
I feel the same way
only thing I can afford
at least you have power for this
Solves the problem of 3 teenagers not hearing when I call them!
Same I’m happy with my iPhone 11pro plus

Same
yup
Bluetooth and battery powered ability is a must have. Apple should make a ON The Go Pod. You are really missing out on a segment of the market that could be the best addition to your smart speaker line.
I would probably get one if there was a wireless option… But wired, not very interested…
I didn’t realise they miniaturised Bob’s stage! So smol!
Would be great if they had it like Bose so you didn't have to always have it plugged in - portability would be a bonus
I like the way they added heatwaves song in the second part!!! I am impressed
The intercom will be the reason I will buy
una de las mejores compras que hice, el sonido es maravilloso, ademas que se adapta para los juegos y peliculas.
We want wireless homepod mini !
Man I wish I can do presentation as good as these people 😁
Great to see an older person working in a senior position for Apple
I hope this can do airplay so I can push UA-cam video from my iPad, also I hope the call quality is good so it can be my conference call speaker
you can play any audio with airplay supported apps, so you can airplay the audio to the homepod mini from any apple device :)
Can we use 2 HomePod Mini in stereo with a Mac as it does not work with standard HomePod ?
with cable? -I want to put one in each area of my house, can they all be heard at the same time?
How does it turn on if I go from one area to another with the same song I play?
I cant go to discover in home app cam someone please help?
For all,
Homepod will support spotify with the siri integration coming soon.
They just donˋt advertise it, what i can totally understand..
Yeah, they don't want to plug Spotify.
where is the news source?
@@jakejapan8694 It's the beta of IOS 14 for the HomePods, you can google it.
@@Fantazzticc22 If I can tell Siri to play music from Spotify then there will be nothing holding me back from buying it!!! Thanks!
Good I’ll be getting this one to put aside my big HomePod
@@xdiorxx2884 lol if you only u was in Chicago
@@xdiorxx2884 lol yeah bro if u was here you would had the box in everything with it
Can the HomePod Mini be used an external speaker with my Mac desktop via bluetooth or wifi?
They should, if airpods can do that than these should too!
Is it with batterie ? Or only cable
looking to buy one for my room, have the money, just need to convince my parents to let me. thinking of making a keynote. should i get this or a google speaker??
Plz don’t get the google one. I just bought an echo dot. The sound quality is garbage
@@cindimomo1 u know the echo is from amazon and not from google right?
I wish the mini was also a mesh wifi
I wonder if the Voice recognition works with language too, Like It recognizes me so I could speak German to it, but My mom could speak Spanish to it, and others can speak English?
Your house sounds like a nightmare
I would also love a bilingual Siri!!!! So annoying to only have one language
WHO WOULD WIN:
A top-end, very smart, and surprisingly compact and powerful smart speaker
or
an apple watch band
Time stamp 4:48 presenter Yael Garten GLASSES got me thinking are those Apple's new Glasses with LiDar on frames ??
Very cool, I’ll buy 1
Have to say siri has become super intelligent after iOS 14.
Siri is still as dumb as a rock. 💩

Can I use it as a tv speaker w Apple TV? That’d be dope
I think so yes, with Apple Airplay 2 that should be possible.
They're Airplay speakers, so yes.
They auto detect and pair instantly with appletTV. If you get two they do stereo sound.
Yes but can either use two home pod minis oder two home pods. A combination of both is not possible at the moment
Yes, since HomePod OS 14.2 you can even make your HomePod (original & Mini) your default speaker with Apple TV. My original Homepods now work amazingly with AppleTV.
I’m thinking of buying one? Should I?
Whose house is like that?
how do you think the audio this thing produces will compare to the google home and the google home mini
Some say HomePod is better, some say it's not. It's more a personal opinion.
I like how they had the breakdown animation of the speaker while they were telling us about it as if any of us are going to say: “Oh.. I see what they did there, clever Apple!”.
Edit: now I want to know if sharks lay eggs.
HomePod mini only plays pop, easy listening and Jazz?!! 🥺😁
seems like you can call a product series with a single product a family now. Does this mean I am a family?😆
will this work in a dorm room?
yeah, totally, as long as you have a place to keep it connected
I just need a good hifi speaker. I can do without the rest--especially siri.
Then buy a speaker, duh.
But why there are so few smart home products compatible with siri/homekit? Everything works with Google or alexa but almost nothing works with siri...😔
So theoretically the HomePod mini has a more powerful cpu than the full sized HomePod? Crazy.
Is it just as good as the other one
I'm pretty sure it won't be a match sound wise, but for the size it should be good.
I noticed some shots where a cord wasn’t apparent. Is this battery powered as well?
Its not wirelles its With cable 😭😠
Doubt it. Just looks better when presenting.
Dam it wanted it with battery on the go
It’s powered with USB C cable so a battery could be the power source if you wanted.
Deal breaker for me!!! Rats....

Jaskaran Singh are you sure? As far as I know this was not possible
@@hydralisk21 You can play music from Spotify onto homepod, but you cannot verbally requests songs to be played from Spotify. Edit: I may be wrong so don’t attack me haha
Matt Haynes you are not wrong.. you can play it via airplay but it makes no sense since it’s a smart speaker.. people should be able to customize that
@@hydralisk21 Yea they should be able to, just doesn’t make sense for Apple though. Maybe one day
What is the song promo used in homepod mini at 11:15
Meant 1:15? It’s Heat waves by Glass Animals, the whole album is great!
@@davvid9736 thanks! Nice album.
Does it support Spotify ?
Soon
okay but.... where are the kid's bedrooms?
I already invested in homepods. Well this sucks
The sound will always be better on the HomePod
@@miguelteirlinck6942 yeah but I would have love to have one behind my head for better sound. Oh well. You’re most likely right.
@@familyyoutube4921 you can pair them up, right 🙂
I went on apples website and can’t buy one? Is it sold out
it’s not released yet
You can preorder on the 6th, the ship out on the 16th
I really would like to know what is the name of the song that starts to be heard at 3:00 minutes into the video...?
Try Shazam.
@@barackblows1942 Oh that's true. I just tried shazam. and gave me the name of the song. It's Ferris Wheel by author Sylvan Esso. Thank you very much
I’m very thankful for this, was breaking my head over it since the keynote. Song is very bland outside of the keynote context, though. 😅
電源について触れないのはダメよね〜持ち出せたら良かったのに
What's the name of the song thats played at 3:26 ?
Thanks!!
Huh. Sooo... that’s a no on Spotify?
This is a product I am producing. great
8:23
What song is this
JEWELZ by Anderson .Paak
7:41 So we are going in to a Siri conversation no more family talk, huh loneliness increase within family.
Social distancing 🤪🤪
You’re literally talking to your family with it though
Obviously it’s just so that you don’t have to scream at the top of your lungs every time you want their attention lol
If it ain’t wireless, I ain’t with it. Feel me?
No
This is why I get google home speakers because it works with Spotify
Lol, it also works with Spotify. Apple introduced Spotify integration into Siri in the beginning this year
@@Denndenn142 I thought so too tbh, I’m confused. I use apple music so I can’t verify, but pretty sure you can verbally request from spotify. Someone should clarify this
Matt Haynes I use spotify and have the homepod. Yes you can use it. Go for it. Best sound quality i’ve heard from a speaker.
@@tiagomaqz Have HomePod too, people don’t understand the great sound quality. :) They just want to crap on apple...
@@matthaynes2761 Sadly you can't request specific songs. Reason why I returned the homepod and went with Sonos.
Why is the Homepod Mini not a mesh router?! Oh, Steve Jobs, how I miss thee....
We want Spotify!

I’d love one but seems like it’s mainly for use with iPhone
Now I’ve owned an iPhone a 4s I still have it it’s immaculate not a scratch on it but it’s worthless now.

You need an iPhone to set up Homepod to your WiFi network. 📲
So you can’t set it up with iPad
I know you won’t get all the functionality that you would using an iPhone.
Sorry but I’ve never tried using an iPad. Ask an Apple “genius”. 🤡
Yes it can be set up with an iPad but not a Mac.
5:21 Is that a family of japanese and AA 🤣
It's a family of Japanese people but I didn't notice until now, the dad is an African American so I'm guessing he's a step dad?
Will Spotify also be compatible?
Yes
Won't be getting this as I already have the excellent Bose soundlink mini 2 SE.
Yes, but though It’s a good speaker, it’s not a smart one.
It’s not wireless??
Most Smart speakers are not.
@@ctct5169 I was hoping it would be portable as well
$99 is way too expensive for a speaker like this. Especially since it doesn't integrate with UA-cam Music or Spotify.
@Jaskaran Singh In the future, for Amazon Music and Pandora. No mention of Spotify and UA-cam Music or Bluetooth playback.

@@sakenu16 The original HomePod came out in February 2018 at $349. This mini version is much better priced at $99. I love my original HomePod still.

Most decent smart speakers are wired. They're supposed to be placed in one spot not moved around like a bluetooth speaker.
Here’s Homepod Siri’s favorite response: “I’m sorry, I cannot connect to the internet.” 💩🖕
yeh because everyone lives in a Multi million dollar home lol
its not like you need a multi million dollar home for the HomePod to work, they just want the product launch to look nice
Siri is not to much smart :(
What I would say Siri AD on UA-cam , Seriously
Wish it didn’t always has to have the power cord attached to it.
Why does it not support Spotify?? We want Spotify! Everyone uses Spotify
Well, because it already does that 😅
Atleast soon, but i understand they donˋt want to advertise spotify in this product announcement

For as long as they use Siri, this will remain as a dumb speaker.
