The HomePod Mini: the forgotten Apple product

Apple is best known for its iPhones and MacBooks, which account for a large part of total sales. But Apple not only offers smartphones and laptops for sale, but also smart home devices.

The HomePod Mini is a device through which you can control your home. Run music, write shopping list, set calendar appointments and much more can this device. The artificial intelligence - Siri - makes the user experience much easier.


The price of this all-knowing orb with 360° sound is $99 and comes in white, blue, orange, yellow or black. On top of that, 99% of all rare earths used in it have been recycled.


However, there is one small problem: the HomePod has not received an update since its debut in 2020, which is very unattractive for buyers. There are also many contenders in the smart home space.


One of them is Amazon with their Echo Dot, also known as Alexa. This has the same features as the HomePod Mini, but it is available from $40 on Amazon, which is much more attractive for the buyer than the $99 that Apple charges.
