Apple tries again in the smart speaker market with HomePod mini
After a rather disastrous first salvo into the smart speaker space with the HomePod, Apple is hedging its bets to take on Amazon and Google with its new HomePod mini, a smaller and cheaper Siri-powered smart speaker. When we reviewed the OG HomePod, we were impressed by its audio quality as well as its impressive multi-room functionality. We did lament that Siri was tied to only one account and that the range of content was limited largely to Apple services. We also found HomePod expensive.
