Before starting to assess which of the two HomePod models is more suitable for you based on your needs, you have to know the differences that you will find between them. The first and very important is the size , the HomePod mini, as its name indicates, is smaller, which inevitably affects what it is capable of generating at the sound level, and it is that despite the fact that the HomePod mini sounds like a charm, the 2nd generation HomePod is far superior in both volume and quality.
