New HomePod Mini Coming Soon With These Features

[chad.petree]

And here was I hoping g that today on the iPod anniversary that we’d get a press release announcing new HomePods, new AirTags and new appletv’s

Wasn't today supposed to be the day when they would change the apple stores to display something tomorrow? 🤔

That's not something they'd do during business hours. It's been posted that tonight, after closing, at least something will be happening in the Apple Stores.

Yes we need this because hardware is the biggest problem with this product????!

Not looking like today. Let's see how it goes tomorrow.

 

[Just sayin...]

If these and a new Apple TV are released, I'm on board for two Homepod mini's and a single Apple TV! 👍

It seems like Apple missed a chance to kick Sonos (and others) to the curb with these smart, networked speakers...

Maybe they didn’t want to do it on Veterans Day and will do it tomorrow?

2 out of my 4 HomePod minis developed a buzzing noise within a year. They didn’t sound all that great to begin with.

When I listened to someone’s HomePod mini, I thought the sound wasn’t that great and it made sense to pay more for the HomePod if sound quality meant something to you.

They all sounds horrible, so I traded in my 2 minis & 2 home-pods, for crap. But I was glad I got something for them.
Bought 2x BT Pioneer, they are really great, that is sound! So I’m buying another 2 soon.

Now HEAR ME OUT! What if they gave it Apple Intelligence when you pair it with the next gen Apple TV that’s supposed to get A17 Pro I believe…

This is my thinking as well. If Apple wants to roll out the new Siri more widely and quickly, one of either a HomePad, Apple TV or a full sized HomePod will be able to act as the central Siri processor. Otherwise, it could be years before people replace their HomePod minis and continue to use the dumb-Siri.

Either that or Siri in the cloud will get the updates.
