Despite its small size, the HomePod mini produces powerful sound. Measuring just 8 cm tall, it fills the room with rich, 360-degree audio that sounds great from any angle. For even more expansive sound, consider adding multiple HomePod minis. If you prefer to expedite system updates or have disabled auto-updates on your HomePod mini, you may want to manually update the system software on your device.
