The HomePod mini hardware hasn’t changed — the HomePod mini is still a 3.3-inch softball or… grapefruit-sized orb of Aldur that sits on your shelf, table, or desk and gives you a high-quality 3D audio soundstage, just not one as booming as the original HomePod biggie. I still love the way it looks, classic white or black, and the new yellow, orange, and blue. Only regret is that Appl...
