This class of products has been widely updated to support Matter, as they serve as central hubs for most smart homes. The Apple HomePod mini rounds out the big three (Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri), giving you the option to use just about any ecosystem as the center of your Matter-connected smart home. Siri might not be quite as versatile as the competition, but no doubt iOS fans will be glad to have the new functionality offered by Matter.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2020\/10\/15\/4377db5db52f060703eba71d516088f359a7f8e7.jpeg\" alt=\"Apple HomePod mini\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2020\/10\/15\/4377db5db52f060703eba71d516088f359a7f8e7.jpeg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure data-link-product-offer=\"1308374\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/apple-homepod-2023-review-2.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" alt=\"apple homepod 2 review 2023\" decoding=\"async\" data-zoom-suppress=\"1\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/apple-homepod-2023-review-2.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\"><figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tZeke Jones\/Digital Trends\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-1308374\" data-link-product-offer=\"1308374\">\n\t\t\tHomePod\t<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tPros\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGreat sound quality\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIncredible bass performance\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDazzling Spatial Audio surround\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPlug and Play wireless\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSlick design\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCons\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLimited connection options\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNo direct Spotify playback\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Take everything that makes the HomePod mini so great, mix them together with a larger design and better speakers, and you\u2019ve built the new HomePod.

Beyond Matter, you\u2019ll benefit from high-fidelity audio powered by a four-inch high-excursion woofer, five tweeters, and Spatial Audio along with Room sensing to optimize performance based on the acoustics of your home.
