Hi y’all, it's Annelies and I've got some things to unbox that I'm pretty freaking excited about
can you see it? ah! it's the HomePod Mini it's the HomePod Mini
I'm so excited you might be asking yourself on lease why three HomePod Minis when'd you become
a baller well my dear friend first of all these are only 99 each now that is 300 smackaroonies
but Christmas is around the corner okay like let me treat myself but these are not all just for me
in one room this is actually for the family so I've got one for me one for my mom and one for
downstairs because we now live in a two-story house and soon as I saw that intercom feature
I was originally just gonna buy one for me because I knew my mom wasn't gonna have like I don't know
too much interest in it but intercom was what sold me on saying nope we need one for everywhere
possible and and I was lucky enough to say that I was able to snag them I woke up at five no I woke
up at 4 30 a.m tried to get on the website it was also like crashing because of the iPhone 12
Pro Max and all the iPhone 12 mini launch at the same time too yeah it was a journey but so worth
it I'm so excited to unbox this bad boy and get my hands on it finally finally I have a HomePod
I'm so excited okay let's get into this I can't wait all the people who were able to
get their hands on one the day it came out, I ordered mine online and it didn't come in
until the 18th when they were available in stores oh gosh look at how good this box is
like so cute but then also so fun, oh my god, so fun,
Apple never has this type of color on their boxes I love it okay the moment of truth
look at that little orb oh my god okay let's get into this
it smells so it's
it smells like
it smells like a new pair of sneakers or like it smells like the sneaker aisle of a Payless
ShoeSource brings back memories we've got the HomePod Mini it has the cable attached to it
and I think it's like a three foot cable and it is a nice and braided cable so I feel like
that's going to last really well it is a USB C so that is um I was going to say it's an interesting
choice but here I am being the one who always complains about everything not being in USB C so
it was an I was not expecting it but I'm glad it's here and we have a little sticker at the bottom
look at that little Apple logo it's so cute
okay we're gonna put you back here for just a moment home pod I'll get to you in a second
unlike the iPhones we do have the coveted 20 watt power adapter that is USB C so that's
um that's cool we've got the paperwork and do we have an Apple sticker do we have an Apple sticker
we do we do have an Apple sticker I'm glad they're keeping those because I like listen first of all
how much of this stuff needs to be included like legally because if they're talking about saving
the environment why is this not recycled paper one two why is it here I get this one because
it has all like the legal things and I guess I get this one I don't know I feel like they could
anyway that's that's all this is about that's it that's literally it it looks so beautiful
the HomePod Mini has a similar vibe to the Google Home Mini like we've got the the roundish shapes
the mesh on it I don't know when I first saw this I was like okay familiar I don't know if
there's it's obviously they don't look the same at all but like similar energies here but anyway
out with the old in with the new and okay I'm gonna make a video about like comparing the two
because the google home mini is a well it's now called the nest mini but this is a great device
like don't get me wrong but as an Apple user as somebody firmly deeply into the Apple ecosystem
this was the thing i'd always hoped and dreamed for oh she's starting to light up unlock my
oh my word um personal requests oh yeah so just like literally a hundred percent the reason why I
want a HomePod is so I could use personal requests like sending text messages and setting reminders
yes please um yes I signed my life away send your HomePod in the frame oh my gosh okay this is like
it's pretty loud y'all it's pretty freaking loud,
okay anytime though it gave me similar vibes to setting up the Apple watch you know
how does that work what is it doing because the Apple watch makes sense it's a weird
picture but like what light pattern is this [ __ ] I don't know okay I have questions
hi I'm Siri welcome to HomePod hi you can't tell but I'm waving to get my attention say let's get
started say what can you do 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 it's like showing me on my phone
rear view mirrors play some music play some music sure here's some music pick just for you
I can't get copyrighted y'all okay so I'm just gonna hit done is that it I think this is set
up now what do I even do what do I do I need to come up with a name for it I am a dummy who names
all my technology my phone is the only thing I've never given a name the computer is Pearl
my old computer was Tallulah the camera is hades my SD cards have names so I need to come up with
a name for this if you have a good name for my HomePod let me know in the comments down below
when the last person leaves a HomePod media that sounds like a good automation to turn on okay so I
don't I also don't have any home automation things but okay we're just gonna do text my mom what do
you wanna say I'm texting you using my new HomePod exclamation point ready to send it yes okay it's
sent thank you so another thing that is really cool that you can do with the HomePod is it has
the volume and all those things on there but if I have a song playing so oh it rang from there
it did not ring on here okay so another cool thing that HomePod can do is I've heard somebody refer
to this as like beaming your music so to show you this feature the perk about having friends who
are musically inclined and write their own music is that you can play their music and hopefully
they don't copyright you Ilana so if I were to play Ilana Degann's debut single I'm not mad,
available on all streaming platforms, on my phone from Apple Music and I press play, so good,
my favorite part's coming up, and then I would put it by my HomePod…
and then it starts playing on the HomePod, I can turn up the volume here, it's very loud and then
I can beam it back onto my phone how freaking sick is that, and then hold on we're gonna do it here
please stream “I'm not mad” , Ilana, I love you!
so that's a cool thing that exists that's cool I'm already very impressed and I'm already very happy
and I can't wait to start using this thing oh I'm so excited okay I'm so glad I have one now I have
to go set up all the other ones across the house and use intercom for the first time be excited
for that and then I will get back to y'all with a review in like a month or so after I've used
it my mom has used it which will be really great because she's not a huge tech person and we've
used it in our house and just seeing how much we like it like I said I also want to do a comparison
