Apple this week introduced the HomePod mini 2, and we have rounded up all of the new features and changes that we have uncovered so far below. HomePod mini 2 can be pre-ordered now and launches Friday,

The HomePod mini 2 supports Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 6, which are upgrades over the 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 in the original HomePod mini. This means that the new device will have faster wireless connectivity and less latency.

There’s no new full-size HomePod launching yet, but Apple has confirmed three features coming to the existing HomePod 2 soon.

Additionally, the HomePod Mini 2’s Bluetooth 6 upgrade allows for enhanced spatial awareness, which is likely the foundational technology for the speaker’s new four-speaker home theater array. Alongside Wi-Fi 6E’s reduced congestion, Bluetooth Low Energy helps deliver lower latency, minimizing lip-sync delay.

To get surround sound using Apple devices, you're looking at almost $900 for a system with no subwoofer or center channel. There are better options.
