HomePod Minis aren't available in most of the world, including much of Europe. My guess is it's because of the localization of Siri.Now go and add all other missing Siri languages to HomePod, Apple. It will instantly create a worldwide market for your failed smart speaker lineup.
So basically you want an iPad hooked up to a speaker. What do you need a screen that big for?They need to come out with a HomePod that has a 10 inch to 12 inch touchscreen as well as awesome speakers.
The original HomePod which I own is a great speaker, automated speaker. But thats all it is.
The HomePod needs a high resolution color touch screen.
Totally agreed. Been hoping to get at least one here in South Africa, but other than grey imports there is nothing mentioned anywhere. Meanwhile I can get the entire Amazon and Google range locally.I’m still puzzled how HomePods are still so limited in global availability. Sure, with current component shortages it’s more understandable but it’s been like this for years and make little sense to me.

Thanks for mentioning! I was beginning to think this was a really multi-stage rollout from Apple and I’d have to check back for UK availability next week.and the UK too 😀 just order the orange one!
Please consider me a HomePod newbie and help me understand what might I do with this?
I heard it at an Apple Store and wow, that tiny thing can belt out some noise!
The way I understand, bluetooth by its nature will have a latency that is not exactly great for movies. It does not matter for music. And these little puppers don't even allow for a 3.5 mm connection.
So, what all are they good for?
I have 3 OG HomePod around the house that I use when I want to listen to music in the best quality (they bring the bass).
But I have a HomePod mini in another room (and soon an additional room) where best quality sound for music isn't as important, but where easy access to Siri (for HomeKit, Reminders, Weather, etc.) is very useful. That's not to say HomePod mini isn't good for music, but I use it more for light background music in the room it's in, or for Podcasts where they provide great vocal clarity.
They look great too, if interior design is a consideration.
To connect them to wifi and ask them to play your music as background in your house. Also to use Siri and it's services connected to your iCloud account if you don't have an iPhone or Watch handyPlease consider me a HomePod newbie and help me understand what might I do with this?

I have the original Homepods as a stereo pair and are primarily used as television speakers with the AppleTV and they are wonderful. I also use them for music listening in the living room which they are also great for.Please consider me a HomePod newbie and help me understand what might I do with this?
