A:AnswerUndisclosed. It has 8 amplifiers, one for each driver. It has plenty of power and easily out preforms speakers of the same size and much bigger ones. I would describe it to be comparable to Bose if not more impressive.
A:AnswerYou can only use the Apple / Siri voice assistant on the HomePod...
As long as you have an Apple Music subscription, you can ask for any song to play that Apple has in its system.
As well as any album or some music mixes. Like "Siri, Play Deep House Music" "Light Jazz" "Music I can study to"
As well as ask it to play the latest podcasts of your choosing.
A:AnswerYes, but requires annual subscription to iTunes Match. In the end, well wirth it. 7cents/day. Allows you also to access your entire music library from any Apple device.
A:AnswerPre-orders started around regular store hours this morning. You can place an order on BestBuy.com or by visiting your local BestBuy.com store. Pre-orders will be available for pickup or shipped on February 9th for initial orders (as of the writing of this, the availability date for both colors still show as February 9th).
A:AnswerOnly if you play the satellite radio on an Apple device and use airplay to transfer the sound from the original Apple device that you are playing satellite radio on to the HomePod Mini.
A:AnswerThe plug can be converted with an adapter for other voltage schemes in other countries. The power cable itself is not swappable without actually taking the device apart. Stripping the power cable and attaching another adapter would be a potentially dangerous mistake unless you know what you're doing. Apple also charges $35 to repair a damaged power supply cable.
A:AnswerThe HomePod works with the Apple ecosystem. It will not pair with Android or Netflix. There are numerous HomeKit automation products out there from lights, switches, thermostats, home security hubs, cameras and AirPlay 2 speakers. Be weary of Ring products. They have been promising HomeKit compatibility for over 3 years now. Don’t buy products on the premises of future compatibility.
