Apple Homepod Mini Unboxing/Review!
hello everyone welcome back so today
we’re unboxing an Apple Homepod Mini
which is pretty cool so let’s check it out
so as always apple has their premium
sort of packaging which is really strong
that is really really strong i like that
apple always has to you know really strong
packaging to protect the item okay so that
is actually a pretty small box i’m surprised
it is mini so that’s what it’s supposed to
be so here’s the homepod mini box so apple
always has the standard like white
theme to it which looks really cool
and then there’s the top and there’s just more
information at the bottom so let’s get this cut up
carefully
okay i really like that apple standard
sort of feathery feel to the box
wow okay so you’re greeted first just by
the home pod there’s the empty box there
it’s actually really sturdy so if you’re worried
about shipping no need to worry about that okay
that actually feels really nice so we have
this sort of like fabric and it sort of like
comes outward a little bit and then there’s the
cable is directly attached to the thing and then
we have a nice braided cable actually and then
let’s get this more stuff down here what is
um stickers yay i’m keeping that and
then we have more information back here
yeah how to connect it and that
kind of stuff and we also have
what apparently they don’t include in the iphone
12 is a usb c power brick adapter how many watts
is this 20 watts wow they include this with
the homepod but not with the iphone that’s
just sad they’re like not this time anyway that’s
really shiny it looks really nice that’s a usb c
all right and then we can just take this stuff off
get this and yeah so we have a nice braided cable
it’s actually pretty strong so that means
that’ll last pretty long and then we have
a usb c down here which would connect to this and
that’s like that and yeah so it seems pretty cool
all right so let’s connect this so let me plug
this 20 watt adapter that they don’t include
with the iphone 12 in and for some reason
they only put it in the homepod which is sad
anyway okay so there’s a light that’s really
cool i really like that so now just loading
that actually has a lot of bass i
like that so that means this must be
pretty good sounding when it comes to sound
obviously they tried and it on the iphone
automatically detected the homepod so let’s
set this up i’m just gonna put this on okay
not now don’t do that
don’t continue agree transfer enter enter these
four digits to continue eight eight five nine
okay so that’s actually pretty quick you
just select your settings real quick and
the iphone automatically detects it so
i believe that this is the final setup
right here so now we wait i really
like the design that’s really cool
and hopefully the sound sounds good as
okay while we’re waiting for that let’s look at
the size so this size is actually really small
compared to this post-it that pretty much
every person has it’s it is slightly bigger
but like it is pretty much almost the same size
this is a 3×3 post-it so they’re pretty much
the same thing welcome to homepod you can’t tell
but i’m waiting to get my attention say hey siri
let’s get started say hey siri what can you do hey
siri what can you do i can do lots of things like
turn on the lights give you a news update and tell
you about the weather now you try say hey siri
play some music well i won’t be doing that for
copyright information so that’s cool it actually
set up pretty nicely and quickly so that’s really
efficient all right so now we’re just going to
test out the sound but before we do that let’s
talk about what this actually is so this has
according to apple it has the s5 chip which is
according to them their most powerful chip in
a speaker like this it has a what is that called
neodymium magnets to power the sound it also has
the radiator sound things with the bass and it
has 360 degree audio and four noise cancellation
microphones which is really cool you can basically
put it right next to your television playing a lot
of audio and say the command and it’ll still
hear you which is pretty cool so one thing is
so let’s say you say hey siri play something from
youtube hey siri play something from youtube the
app hasn’t added support for that with siri
so i believe that uh sam- i mean apple did
not add support for um youtube yet or spotify so
that’s a bit sad but you could also play um with
airplay and play whatever you want on your phone
so let’s test out the speaker that’s a lot of bass
okay you could also control it with the taps as
well so you can basically control it and skip
the music and stuff so that’s cool and the bass
is actually really nice because like i can feel
the air around it shaking that’s probably the
radiation sound and then there’s the mids of
the mids obviously and the highs are really good
sounding as well alright so here’s a close look
up at the homepod mini uh before we get into that
let’s talk about the cable a little a little bit
so what’s really cool is that this is braided
so that looks really nice and it would be much
stronger and this is a usb c with the standard tip
that apple does so that’s cool and we also have
this power brick with the usb c at the end this is
a 20 watt power brick where the iphone 12 doesn’t
have it which is sad i mean that is a waste of
energy and a waste of money for production lines
i would just give the power brick with the iphone
12 otherwise it’s not that not as bad anyway
so here’s the homepod mini so the mesh is
kind of like lifted off of the actual thing
and then like a sort of pull off and then like a
double layer you could also squish this i wouldn’t
recommend doing that but it does get squished
and you have to be careful of it being stained
there is also a black one that won’t be stained
as much so yeah at the top we have a sort of glass
lighting pad here so that’s really cool you can
basically touch it and do your touch control
double tap to skip a song tap to play and
volume controls so that’s pretty cool and
then at the bottom we have this rubber it’s
not really a rubber it’s more of like a
it’s it is rubber it’s more of a like a plasticky
rubber it’s more wax so we have a apple logo
base down here and there’s the cable that
stays with the actual homepod you can’t take
that off i mean i get why apple did that if the
cable breaks you got to replace the whole thing
so that’s sad anyway so when we get this ruler
here it’s about three inches here a little more
than three inches it’s like three point six
about there oh wow that’s doing its little
dance light show and then we have the width
which is about another three inches or so a
little more than that so here we have the three
by three post-its so when we measure the height
that’s the height and then when
we measure like the sort of width
that’s the width is pretty much the same
thing so yeah looks pretty cool thank you
