HomePod mini

The HomePod mini is a system and digital assistant developed by Apple Inc. It was announced in a special event on October 13, 2020 alongside the iPhone 12 series. HomePod mini became available for pre-order on November 6, 2020 in Space Gray or White for 99 and shipped on November 16, 2020.

Features
The HomePod mini is powered by an Apple S5 processor in a spherical form factor less than half the size of the original HomePod. The sound is generated by a single full-range driver (pointed downward) and dual s. An iPhone or iPad running iOS 14, iPadOS, or later is required to manage the device, which can also be used as an intercom with supported Apple devices. Audio can be streamed from Apple Music, Apple News, Apple podcasts, iTunes Music Store purchases, or AirPlay.

Updates
On October 18, 2021, Apple announced in a special event that HomePod mini would be offered in new blue, orange, and yellow colors. These additional colors would be released on November 1, 2021.

All HomePod minis have contained temperature and humidity sensors since they were first released. However, the sensors were not enabled until early 2023 through an update to HomePod Software 16.3.
