You talk about privacy, however with Apples latest Siri policies, all Siri data is sent to Apples servers. Even if a customer opts out from helping Apples Siri. Apple employees and Apples contractors can still use a customers Siri data (transcripts data). The customer opt out option is only for customers Siri voice recordings. Now Google nest devices started adding in ML (machine learning) chips, the first was the nest mini, and the next was their recent Nest Audio, which has the same ML chip, and what this brings to the table is the device can learn to do some things locally on the device. So if you say "turn off/on xyz light", then the device can do that locally without sending a thing to Google. Where as everything is being sent to Apples servers if you use Siri. The new Amazon Echo 4the gen has a ML chip on board as well. So it will be interesting to see where Amazon goes with their ML chips? Apples HomePods have no ML chips on board. The biggest drawback of the HomePods is the locked down nature, and lack of support for smart home devices, and support for third party devices.

If you want to use more smarthome at homekit you should take a look at Athom Homey, this works perfect!

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzread.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*

HomePod mini because Amazon collects absolutely everything happening around an Alexa. Privacy still matters to Apple users and that’s what makes it the better device in my opinion.

I think Apple missed a great opportunity to turn the HomePod and HomePod Minis into a home theatre system with Apple TV. Imagine if you could pair 2 homepods side by side next to a TV and 2 HomePods minis behind you to create that surround sound? In a world of smart speakers and Sonos devices, this would have been a very unique selling proposition for getting the Homepods.

I’m really glad to have discovered this Channel. Awesome Quality Review’s.

I appreciate this video. I'm looking to jump in at some point soon. Would like more smart home capabilities in an all-Apple household, but HomeKit support is still nowhere near as popular as the others. The one thing that keeps me leaning towards HomePod is this: I have five daughters and the oldest one is named...Alexa. (And you can see where this is going...)

I went with HomePod years ago to do home automation. Stable, secure, with no hiccups or breaks. Exactly what I wanted when your talking my most valuable asset. I know Alexa might do more and support more, but it’s always iffy with skills breaking, apps updating in strange ways, and generally requires more tinkering. Not what I want to do when I’m home after work.

I have the same feeling as an apple fanboy. I have google, amazon and apple and so far in my tests, Alexa is my family's favourite for all the devices we can connect

Congrats on 400K subs! You deserve it guys! Great content as always!

I've got Sonos speakers all around my home and for specific use cases, but, those have Alexa and our house uses almost exclusively HomeKit on our devices. We plan to pick up about 5 HomePod Mini's solely to use for the voice assistant and the ability to have it personalized to us and the ability to control our HomeKit devices.

were do you hear the music better in a smartphone or in the Amazon Echo Dot 4th?

I’m fully Apple as of August. iPod touch, then iPhone, then iPad, MacBook, then I switched to iMac from PC (although I do use boot camp a bit). I’d just get a HomePod Mini for music, so I’m pretty sure it should be fine. Privacy helps too.

So my friend, I have a JBL thar unfortunately stopped working and I work at home and I need music. I have iphone and Apple Watch, I subscribe to apple music. I still think homepod mini might be a little pricy. So should I get the homepod mini or it doesn’t matter the brad for what I need?? Thanks if you help me.

would've been so cool if it had a MagSafe charging base but you could take it wirelessly anywhere in your home!

Which one is louder and has better quality for music HomePod mini or the Echo 4th gen not the dot?

How come on their website it says that it pairs with Apple TV but you mention that it does not?

If privacy is a concern, Apple at least says they care about it with some actions to back it up. There are some things missing from the HomePods, but I have no doubt that they'll sound pretty good. Also, if you're looking to get a regular HomePod, check BestBuy and get it when it's on sale for $100 off, it's a really good deal then.

Great rundown on the different devices! I ordered the Echo deal because it was so cheap.

I'm not sure how much difference a chip will make but I still feel like bigger components=bigger sound so I rather still get a bigger homepod

Got the Echo Dot 3 on prime day for $18.99 sound is really good and so small compared to my original echo

Coming from the audio world, I can tell you that the number of drivers means absolutely nothing. Driver quality varies tremendously. Good sound is all about proper engineering. Apple takes a higher profit margin on its products, so that factor may be what makes the Amazon products superior (Apple will have less money into parts). Apple will likely have superior engineering, but since they’re taking more profit, it’s very tough to say if these would be anything other than ‘different’ in sound characteristics. You can never sleep on Apple’s engineering. Even their power adapter which they’re no longer including with phones is the best measuring stock 5 volt adapter a person can find. At the end of the day, physics is a factor and small form factor speakers like this will never be absolutely amazing except at somewhat lower volumes (can’t move enough air).

It depends on what’s important to you The echo is better if you want it just as a speaker However if you care about privacy and you’re already invested into the Apple eco system then the HomePod mini would be the one to go to

What’s the difference in features between HomePod and HomePod Mini??

For best sound quality: 2 HomePod Minis vs. 1 Sonos One?

I’d choose the HomePod, as it is more privacy oriented and has better ecosystem integration (iMessage, calling, device locating, Apple reminders and calendars). I use Apple Music so i don’t care about no Spotify support and AirPlay will work with all my Apple devices so I don’t have any need for Bluetooth expect when I use bootcamp. HomeKit is also more secure, private and even works without an internet connection (over WiFi so if your internet cuts out your smart devices still work). Plus Siri Shortcuts is kinda like the Alexa add-ons and it’s also way more powerful then google’s routines. For me I care more about the privacy and the integration with the rest of my Apple devices. It would be nice to see Bluetooth support though but I don’t see Apple adding an aux port.

@@jarboer privacy today is a myth. You have a google account, you use KZread as a google service. All your data is already out there. What privacy means for apple users is that you have the guarantee that no one is listing or watching you without your knowledge. But there’s nothing more to the apple privacy than that. I personally use all apple devices and don’t care too much about privacy as long as my bank account details and money are safe. But it may be different for you. IMHO I’m already invested in the Alexa ecosystem and switching to HomePod is a pain not to mention the ginormous accessory support for Alexa and google home whereas HomeKit still lacks to this day. And being in the field of software and it I create my own home automation devices and they work flawlessly with Alexa but can’t work on HomeKit.

Thanks for the video, great info. There is definitely a trade off with all assistants. Privacy and security are always a concern.....so you probably shouldn’t get any of them, have a youtube/google account, Facebook/instagarm account, or Amazon account...You trade that for the full functionality of the Amazon and Google ecosystems. I use all three platforms. I see quite a few people in comments saying they are going to buy multiple homepod minis.....at $99 each that’s alot of money to shell out and I would question the feasibility of that.....however, to each his/her own. I would love for Apple to offer a similar experience to the others, but they are woefully lacking. Speaker sound may be a factor for some and if that’s the case....The original Homepod, Echo Studio, or google home max would be your options if bose, sonos, or jbl aren’t your thing. I will be curious how the Homepod minis actually sell.....the Dots or Echo will offer deals and so will google. I hope everyone gets what they want...enjoy all.

i like both so im planning to buy it this 2 speakers

what color do people like more?

Using Google Home products for questions, calendars, reminders et cetera. And to control music to my Sonos speakers, that have Airplay support as well. Music service is KZread Music. This all works very well. You can even set a certain Sonos speaker as the default music output for a Google Home device. No HomePod or Echo devices needed, which are both unavailable in my country and language.

I have had Alexa devices in every room for years. However, last year I made the investment to put stereo pairs of HomePods in all the rooms where I actually care about audio quality--and I do not regret that expenditure; they are awesome--the sound is so much better than any Echo I own. Disclaimer: the HomePods were purchased from Best Buy on one of their many sales of HomePods for $199 apiece. Fast forward to the HomePod mini. I don't expect HomePod mini to sound anywhere near as good as the full-size HomePod (how could it possibly?) but suspect it will still sound far better than my existing Echos (last generation, not the new ones coming out now). So, I'll pick up a pair of the HomePod minis for rooms where I haven't felt the need to place (and pay for) full-size HomePods and will relegate the Echo devices to use as Alexa backup when Siri is simply acting too stupid for words--one set of Phillips Hue lights confuse Siri about 50% of the time, much to my eternal vexation--or when I need a device with a screen, as in the kitchen.

@@supernova8948 woah woah woah hold up there buddy I have a iPhone 7 🥸🥸🥸🥲🥲 as you can see I have these emojis    i just don’t like this KZreadr and I love love love the homepod it’s just if you don’t have money he acts like if we all are rich and doesn’t mention the echo dot now I have AirPods and a MacBook I’m in the apple echo system and also the only AnDrIoD device I have is the echo dot 4th Gen

The lower price, size/ form factor and new features make the new mini very appealing to me as an apple device user. But I might consider adding on echo dot as well

Even bought the merch rock on max! :)
