A HomePod mini, a recent Apple device
The £99 HomePod mini is a tiny ball of audio prowess, topped with Siri assistant smarts. You can control it from an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac running the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS and macOS and you can issue instructions using your voice – see the ‘Use Siri on HomePod mini’ (right).
The HomePod mini is versatile too. You can use it solo (perfect for a bedroom, study or kitchen), use multiple HomePod minis in multiple rooms (thanks to AirPlay 2), and you can even use two HomePod minis as a stereo pair – perfect for listening to your favourite sounds in your living room. Plus, because it supports HomeKit and Thread, it can be used as a controller for your smart home too.
