["Good Day for Dreaming" by Ruelle playing]
Hello and welcome back to Apple Park.
I am so glad you could join us today.
Just last month we were here to introduce some great new products:
Apple Watch Series 6,
Apple Watch SE,
as well as the eighth-generation iPad
and the all-new iPad Air.
And we've got some more huge announcements for you today.
So let's get started with an exciting new product for the home
we know you're going to love.
This year, our homes have become even more important in our daily lives.
So it's critical that the technology we choose for our home
provides a truly great experience.
When we approach designing products for the home,
we focus on three key attributes:
First, they must be easy to use,
from the initial setup to the way you interact with it every day.
And we design our products to work better together, seamlessly and intuitively.
We also design them to be secure and to protect your privacy.
Because you should be the one in control of how your personal data is used.
We applied these principles when we created HomePod.
HomePod is a breakthrough speaker
that combines precise, high-fidelity sound with the intelligence of Siri.
It provides an entirely new way to discover and interact with music at home.
And now we want to bring this experience to even more people.
So today, I'm excited to introduce the newest addition to the HomePod family.
And I'd like to show it to you now.

This is HomePod mini.
And here's Bob to tell you all about it.
[music continues]
I'm so excited to tell you about HomePod mini.
It's an incredible smart speaker,
with a compact, elegant design that's perfect for your home.
It's wrapped in a beautiful, seamless mesh fabric that not only looks great,
but was created specifically for its acoustic performance.
On top of HomePod mini is a backlit touch surface
that provides controls for volume, play/pause,
and even illuminates when you invoke Siri.
But the design is just the beginning.
In creating HomePod mini,
we thought carefully about what you want from a smart speaker.
First, you want amazing sound that ensures your music, podcasts
and everything you listen to sounds incredible.
Next, you want a world-class intelligent assistant
that helps you wherever you are.
And as our homes become smarter,
you want it to serve as the brain of your smart home,
orchestrating and controlling a wide range of devices.
And finally, because it's your home, you want a smart speaker
that puts your privacy and security at the forefront.
All this is exactly what HomePod mini is designed to deliver.
And to tell you more about how we made this happen,
let me pass it to Dave and Yael.
At Apple, we have a passion for music,
so we knew HomePod mini had to sound amazing.
We started by custom-designing every acoustic element.
We created a full-range dynamic driver
that delivers high output while keeping distortion to a minimum
and developed a pair of high-excursion, force-cancelling passive radiators
that enable amazing bass response.
We also crafted an acoustic waveguide
to deliver a consistent, 360-degree sound experience,
enabling you to place HomePod mini anywhere.
In order to get truly big sound out of this compact design,
we combined it with the powerful Apple S5 chip
and advanced software which all together enables something we call...
computational audio.
Even before you hear the first note,
HomePod mini is analyzing the unique characteristics of the music
and applying complex tuning models to optimize loudness,
adjust the dynamic range,
and control the movement of the driver and passive radiators in real time.
And all this happens over 180 times a second.
The result is an audio experience unheard of in a speaker this size
and one only Apple can deliver.
Now, bringing amazing sound into your home
isn't just about breakthrough audio quality.
It's also about letting you enjoy that sound throughout your house.
Multiple HomePod mini speakers
can play perfectly in sync across your entire house.
That's great for entertaining
or keeping up with your favorite podcast as you get stuff done.
And when you place two in the same room,
they'll intelligently become a stereo pair,
filling your space with rich, enveloping sound.

And to make HomePod mini
the ultimate smart speaker for iPhone owners,
later this year, you'll get a new Handoff experience that's truly magical.
Using the U1 Ultra Wideband chip,
which we introduced in iPhone last year,
HomePod mini can understand, with high precision,
when your iPhone is nearby.
Bring iPhone close to HomePod mini
and you'll get visual, audible and haptic effects...
[hip-hop playing]
...so it feels like your devices are physically connected
as music flows from one to the other.
And of course, HomePod mini can play all of your favorite content.
In addition to Apple Music,
you can listen to all your favorite podcasts,
along with thousands of radio stations
from iHeartRadio, RADIO.COM and TuneIn.
And in the coming months,
you'll be able to use services from providers like Pandora and Amazon.
And because HomePod mini has the power of Siri,
anyone in the home can ask to play an artist, album or track,
hear a playlist, or even search for music by lyrics.
Hey Siri, play the song that goes, "feeling good, never stressed."

Siri on HomePod mini brings you the music you love
and helps you discover new favorites.
But of course, Siri does more than just play your favorite music.
To tell you more, here's Yael.
Siri is what makes a smart speaker, well, smart.
Siri was the first mainstream intelligent assistant,
and today it's the most popular in the world,
available on over a billion devices
and handling over 25 billion requests a month.
And Siri keeps getting better.
In the past three years, Siri's gotten faster and more concise.
Speech recognition is twice as accurate.
And Siri knows over 20 times more facts.
Together, Siri and HomePod mini
do everything you'd expect from a smart speaker,
from multiple timers and alarms to weather reports
to answering the random questions kids think up.
But what really sets HomePod mini apart
is Siri's deep integration with iPhone.
Using Siri, HomePod mini can access the apps on your iPhone
to send a message, check your calendar, make a call,
even find your iPhone.
And because of this,
you'll be able to ask HomePod mini for a personal update
with just a single request.
Hey Siri, what's my update?
Good morning, Jumi.
It's currently sunny and 72 degrees.
Your first event is at 11:00 a.m., gallery visit.
You have one upcoming reminder: call Zoe.
Of course, your voice isn't the only voice in your house.
Siri knows that
and can recognize the voices of each member of your household
so that everyone gets their own personal experience.
Hey Siri, what's my first class today?
Hey Siri, text Anika, "I'll pick you up in ten."
Hey Siri, play my Favorites mix.
Okay, Moe. Favorites mix now playing.
And deep integration with iPhone
also enables a magical experience with CarPlay.
Ask HomePod mini what time Target closes
and a Siri suggestion automatically appears in CarPlay,
so when you hop in the car, the route is ready and waiting for you.
With the intelligence of Siri,
HomePod mini helps you get things done around the home.
Next, let's turn to the smart home.
When it comes to your home, you want comfort and convenience
without complexity.
So with HomePod mini, we've made the smart home simple.
HomePod mini automatically integrates with the Home app
so you can control all of your HomeKit accessories with just your voice.
You can ask to turn down the heat,
lock the doors,
dim the lights,
or even set a scene...
[Jumi] Hey Siri, good morning.
