The HomePod's functions are no longer a secret by now. With the help of the integrated assistant, you can easily use app functions, place orders or find out information by voice command. Depending on the model, the cost may differ.

1. Date of release: the HomePod appeared in the UK and the US in February 2018, and the device was only available in Germany and France in June of the same year. In 2020, a miniature version of the device has also been released, which is correspondingly cheaper.
2. Price: The HomePod costs 329 euros and is available directly from the Apple website and selected retailers. Meanwhile, there are various used devices at lower prices. However, the HomePod Mini is already available for 99 euros - regardless of whether you choose it in white or space gray.
