The Apple HomePod Mini is full of tricks for such a small sphere. It has Apple's voice assistant Siri built in. It can play music, control your smart home, answer trivia questions and act as speakers for your TV. It also plays really well with other HomePod Minis and other Apple devices in general, like your iPhone. It'll even play well with Apple's new full-sized HomePod 2.

In this video, we walk you through how to get the most from your nifty Apple shaped gadget. We talk through everything from getting setup to using the basic features to making the HomePod Mini a central part of a larger smart home. Most of the steps will be the same if you have the Mini or you're grabbing the new HomePod.

If you bought this for yourself and want to get the most of it or bought it as a gift and want to know what else to give with it, we have you covered.
