1. Apple HomePod mini
HomePod mini is a smart speaker that adapts to its surroundings and delivers immersive sound everywhere. Together with Apple Music (subscription required) and Siri, it creates a completely new way to discover music. With the perfect integration of the intelligent assistant Siri and compatibility with Apple HomeKit accessories, the HomePod is not just a music playback device but an extremely versatile everyday helper in various situations. Its compact format allows the speaker to be placed discreetly anywhere. HomePod can play Apple Music, your iTunes songs, iCloud music library, Beats 1 live, or Apple Podcasts, and connect with other devices using AirPlay and AirPlay 2. If you have an Apple Music subscription, you have full access to 45 million songs. Siri's artificial intelligence learns what you like and helps you discover more of it. A helping hand is just a "Hey Siri" away. Simply name the desired artist, song, album, or genre. Ask for background information, such as when the song was released. Or use Siri with all the features you already know from your iPhone: dictate a text message you want to send to a friend or manage your calendar events. Integrate it into your HomeKit system and control your smart home easily with your voice.
