HomePod Mini Coming to Denmark in the Spring, Says Apple

[MMonberg]

Endelig. Vi har ventet alt for længe

Looking forward to get my phone back to danish, so I can use my AirPods to text and reply.

That Siri is able to understand Danish at all is a small wonder...

🤣 Absolutely NO idea what's going on, but it's still funny!

This product feels like they have billions in stock they need to get rid of.

 

[Big_P]

If they keep rolling it out in additional countries, I wonder if it means that no upgrade’s coming soon… Why put it on sale as a “new” item and then replace it with an upgraded version merely a few months later?

The sound of the Norwegian language.

Not sure there is anything to update/improve for an "HomePod Mini" (at least not the HW).

>IF< Apple does another HomePod it will either be something bigger (but not as pricey as the OG) or maybe some sort of ATV-HP hybrid with a screen.

I’d like to see the HomePod Mini being usable as a Bluetooth speaker… got myself a Bluetooth turntable that of course doesn’t support Airplay so that’s kind of a dealbreaker for me…

HomePod mini is the least impressive product Apple has ever produced. I sold my OG HomePods last week for 500 a pop. Lol. ✌🏼

Well, at the very least, it will be one more helpful item in the battle of the Mongoose King:

I'm from Denmark and we had to go the Google Home way years ago, the HomePod will arrive years to late for our home sometime in 2023

I do however have the latest 2021/22 ATVs and we still can't use Siri when using the Danish ATV settings, come on Apple you are just too slow.

 

[ch1ptune]

for all I care they can give up Danish if they just make the damn thing work (im danish) why cant i just use Siri in English om my Apple TV ? ohh no you cant because it is in a different region... so you cant.. you see... but yes it would be nice if it would work in danish as well.

but siri has so many flaws.

I call my Girlfriend/wife EVERY day, her name is Katrine - I have not in the past 3 years called another contact Named "Katrine - old work" ... guess who SIRI think i want to call every time

Why don’t you just tell Siri who your girlfriend and say “call my girlfriend”? Problem solved.

Siri will support danish on Apple TV later this year.

You can use Siri in English on your atv now, or maybe next update it works on the tvOS beta at least

Homepod and Apple Pay coming to Turkey. My dream

 

[rcoranje]

Tried one in an Apple Store one day. Can't say I was impressed.
Never heard the original HomePod, but my guess is they sounded (a lot) better?

Just try two as a stereo pair. They will sound much more than twice as good.

 

[bollman]

🤣 Absolutely NO idea what's going on, but it's still funny!

The most funny part is that that is exactly what Danish sounds like.

It could be complete gobbledygook for all I know; I have NO idea what is being said, or if it’s even actual Danish! 🤣

 

[bollman]

It _sounds_ like Danish, and there are some "real" words in there.
It is from a Norweigian comedy show and that is sort of what it sounds like to other Scandinavians (I'm Swedish, but I understand Danish pretty good since I live close to Denmark and work with some Danish people).

 

[ApplesAreSweet&Sour]

Do all “HomePod countries” have full language support, as in predictive typing on iOS and swipe typing on Apple Watch?

 

[ApplesAreSweet&Sour]

I just did some research, and I can’t find any kind of clear correlation between extended language support and (official) HomePod mini availability.

It appears to be as simple as “higher population + bigger total number of Apple users = better language support across all Apple products”.

iOS and iPadOS - Feature Availability

iOS and iPadOS have so many amazing features. Find out which ones are available on iPhone and iPad in your country or region.

I guess what Scandinavians will get from this are Siri improvements when using HomePod mini and nothing more.

Obvious, I know. But I was hoping for more.

Træls!

 

[sammfaria]

No Brazil yet...weird.

 

[Gengar]

No, sadly. I live in Denmark. - I think it is a Siri issue. Siri has to learn to speak (more) Danish in order to be used as you can do in English and other "big" languages. We have the same situation with Siri on the Apple TV 4K. Does not work in Danish. The same goes for the "Scribble" feature on the various devices.

However, it is possible to buy Homepod Mini in Denmark anyway. Some Internet shops imports them from our next door naigbour, Germany. So we have them in our house. Super sound for such small devices.

Siri can barely understand English. My HomePod just learned how to say “Cuff It” (Beyonce song) instead of calling it “Cuff I.T.” as it usually did in the past 😂

 

[rmariboe]

TIL that the Danish word for "Apple" is "Kob."

It’s “æble” - the æ is long and pronounced like the e in “extra”, and the e is short and sounds like the u in “curfew”.

 

[rmariboe]

I've seen Borgen, The Bridge and The Killing and it's clear that Danes can speak like 20 languages fluently so don't need a Danish version of Siri or any of the voice assistant.

Yes. We all speak Danish, English, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Hindu and three distinct dialects of Navajo.
