Apple HomePod Mini Specifications

The HomePod Mini is Apple’s smallest smart speaker yet. The company claims that the device can deliver room-filling, 360-degree sound despite its small size. It has a custom-made, full-range driver with a neodymium magnet. The audio is guided from the bottom of the speaker, and Apple is using computational audio with the help of its S5 chipset.

Apple has also equipped the HomePod Mini with four microphones to cancel the noise and listen to the ‘Hey, Siri’ wakeup hotword and voice commands. Even when the smart speaker is playing music at full volume, it can listen to voice commands with the help of the four-microphone array.
