HomePod mini features:
The most distinctive feature of the HomePod mini is its design. Instead of a taller cylindrical speaker, the HomePod mini is a lot smaller and almost completely round. The speaker is a smaller ball about 8.5 centimeters high, a lot more compact than the current HomePod. The HomePod mini comes in two colors, space gray and white.

The speaker's focus is still on sound. Apple stresses that the high sound quality will be maintained even with the HomePod mini.

The HomePod mini also supports multiple voices, so everyone in the house can ask for their calendar, send messages from your own account and more. The HomePod mini also plays a role in the smart home.
Like the regular HomePod, you'll find the HomePod mini simply in the Home app.
