You Just Bought An Apple HomePod Mini: User Guide

The Apple HomePod Mini is full of tricks for such a small sphere. It has Apple's voice assistant Siri built in. It can play music, control your smart home, answer trivia questions and act as speakers for your TV. It also plays really well with other HomePod Minis and other Apple devices in general, like your iPhone. It'll even play well with Apple's new full-sized HomePod 2.
In this video, we walk you through how to get the most from your nifty Apple shaped gadget. We talk through everything from getting setup to using the basic features to making the HomePod Mini a central part of a larger smart home. Most of the steps will be the same if you have the Mini or you're grabbing the new HomePod.
If you bought this for yourself and want to get the most of it or bought it as a gift and want to know what else to give with it, we have you covered.

Ive never heard of this thing. Thanks for the vid!

[@robinsummers2104]

Love this Video! Very informative!

[@gillythebetter]

Very helpful. Can it listen for the smoke/gas/CO alarm and turn the light and the iLuv SmartShaker 2 (bed shaker) on in my deaf son's room?

[@leemiller8258]

I think the sound quality probably deserved more emphasis. The superior sound quality alone is worth the cost.

[@chrisperry4864]

Are they any good for films

[@leemiller8258]

@@chrisperry4864 Can't say, I don't use them for that.

[@curtispazarjr4985]

[@robinsummers2104]

Luv this video!❤

Apple needs to send a check because I’m definitely asking one for Xmas 😅

[@Nick-zc2yu]

I just ordered 8 of these off of eBay refurbished for the whole house! For $60 ea

[@rodneydangerfield7153]

Great instructive video, Andrew!

[@KarenKefauver]

I like the dancing. :) I may get a set of minis still unsure.

[@mishrajiBHU]

brilliantly explained

[@Daeys2411]

I have 2 apple balls ! 1 for music and assistance and 1 for a alarm clock ⏰ yes a 100€ alarm ….

[@YeOldeGeezer]

Your not using it to its full potential if it’s just an alarm clock!

[@slob5041]

I wish it was called the apple. Ball 😂

[@midcenturymoldy]

Finally got me to laugh out loud with “Frank, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” 😄

[@ramiropupo8034]

Nice channel

[@unixue1]

Hey you should do a ps4 video? I love your vids keep it up!

[@thechosenone6293]

[@jonathanbarnes7641]

[@MariusGioProd]

[@MatthewK45]

[@youjustboughta]

Stay tuned. Something from Google Nest is in the works.

[@MatthewK45]

[@debishults2737]

Can it add numbers and give me correct total? ... if so how???

[@htndnvr]

Couldn’t watch to the end, too many “Hey Seri’s” setting off my speakers.

[@ssaannddrro]

I wish the Mini would show the time.

[@alliesworld9135]

Where is the personal requests button

[@americagarcia5337]

My doesn’t connect to my iPhone why??

[@jameslee2215]

Can I add a sub to my two iApple home pod? Thanks

[@youjustboughta]

Yeah, there is no native integration. But you should be able to sync a sub alongside the HomePod Mini as long as the sub is compatible with Apple AirPlay 2.

[@dmitryx619]

How many extra words

[@lesrw1]

Taking my mini and throwing it off my building! And you are the cause!

[@yuchoob]

The target audience of this video is, what? People who bought a thing but they don't know what it is?

[@PaulPinguin]

I actually never understood why people buy them. Now I do.

[@MaybeWinner]

Yes me

[@eyedl]

this is one of the worst portable speakers I have ever used

[@michaelkorvac4007]

that's because it's not portable you donut

[@Marwan_W_Elzeiny]

First

[@Daeys2411]

That’s amazing 🤩 you are unbelievably great and wonderful!

[@adammg97]

you are very knowledgable but so incredibly annoying

[@brianzinner5955]

I agree. There is a difference in being entertaining, versus being silly.

[@lesrw1]

All you “teachers” are cute but you have no clue as to what one needs if they are new to Apple. Your video is a dud! What is the Home App? Why is it tha5 I plugged this device in and no display appears! Done and and done ..stop being so “cute” and instruct!!!!

[@idapettersson98]

Do you need an explanation of what a phone is too?
