  • Incredible sound, Sleek design, Useful functionality
  • Needs Apple Music for full function, Siri and the smart home features need work, Music handoff not available
  • For anyone looking to enter the Apple smart ecosystem, or who has an Apple Music subscription, this is the speaker to go for. It's far cheaper than some might expect, packing mighty sounds and an elegant design for under $100 / £100 / AU$150. However, Sir...

  • As you can see, most of the capabilities in terms of services and features are shared across both devices. They will respond to voice commands via Siri, stream music from a variety of services, and work with each other quite happily (unless you want to cr...

  • Abstract:  Smart home technology is just about everywhere, but if you're looking to add some to where you live, figuring out a new piece of technology can be daunting, especially if it requires a bit of research to operate. Luckily, iPhone users have the Apple HomeP...

  • Great audio for size, Competitive price, Attractive design
  • Few streaming music services, Limited child controls, No physical microphone button
  • It’s funny how timing works. Like the releases of Amageddon and Deep Impact, it’s pure coincidence that both Apple and Amazon launched spherical smart speakers within months of each other. And like those movies, the Echo and the HomePod mini will be sure...
