I'm not sure how much the Home Pod mini sells for, I've heard the larger home pod sounds really good, but it was more expensive than the echo or google home series, and it sounds like you are confirming what the reviews have said, the capabilities are lacking compared to the Echo and google

Hi, My only complante with apple is þ they don't have access to Sirius XM as least not through the speaker. I have considered a google home for that or an amazon speaker. Matthew -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Sunday, March

On my Mac mini, using Mac Mail, on Catalina,, I was able to search for mail from an individual sender as follows: 1. I navigated to, and interacted with the ToolBar in the Mail app. 2. After interacting with the ToolBar, I pressed VO + Home, which landed me in the Search text field. 3. Next,

Hi all, In Mail on Catalina, I want to find a message from a particular person. I can get to the toolbar and a search button within that toolbar, but VO keeps saying Search popup button, and I can’t seem to be able to get into an edit box where I can type what I’m looking for. Doing Command+F

Well, this is probably subjective, then. Personally, I don't think the sound on the mini can touch the sound on the HomePod. I agree that the smaller size is nice, but I wouldn't sacrifice the sound of the bigger HomePod. Cheers, Donna > On Mar 15, 2021, at 10:50 AM, Herbie Allen wrote: > >

Hi, If you don’t mind me asking, why do you see this as a bad idea? I’m not so sure I agree. Apple now has the HomePod mini which has more up-to-date hardware, just as good of a sound, and better size. I have the big one and my wife has the Mini, and honestly, I find the big one a bit to big. I

Hi, that sounds very negative to me. Apple proved several times their ability and willingness to react on users feedback. I myself had once a chat with Apple Irland about huge issues in Preview in Mac OS Lion. And what shall I say. They found the issue and solved it in an update 3 months later.

Hi, I totally agree with you both. It seems Apple continius a poorer device, still good but poorer, which suffers from the same Siri issues like its bigger brothers. Sounds worse but has the same issues. And even more of it as I experience my HomePod Mini. Additionally to the issues you
