Until recently, I’d never seen Halloween III: Season of the Witch. I know. Blasphemy. We all have our blind spots and this was one of mine. As I finally watched it though, I realized the movie I thought it was going to be wasn’t even close to the actual movie. How did that happen? Why? And what did I think of it all?…
On the last day for residents across Virginia to register to vote in the coming election, multiple websites housing the state’s voter registration portal were suddenly knocked offline. Now, local authorities are pinning the blame on a mysteriously cut fiber optic cable.
Were we surprised that Apple announced a HomePod Mini today? Absolutely not. The stream of leaks suggesting Apple had planned a HomePod refresh has been steady and strong—hell we even had a last-minute leak this morning. And as suspected, the HomePod Mini made its official debut at today’s iPhone event—and it’s only…
Ok, it’s finally time, Apple’s big iPhone announcement day is, so here’s what’s new with the iPhone 12.
Here we are on day two of the largely foregone conclusion that is the Senate confirmation process of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. What a fucking nightmare.
When Apple rebooted the iPhone SE earlier this year, fans of small phones were disappointed. The original was a teensy phone, and the SE simply puts a small display in a larger body. Well, folks, your time has come: The iPhone 12 Mini is here, and it is actually, legitimately small.
Apple is making wireless charging, and charging in general, better for the upcoming iPhone 12. Instead of placing your phone in the exact correct position on its wireless charging pad, your phone will now charge at an equal rate regardless if it’s centered on the pad or not. No more headaches after leaving your phone…
Following the rumors that Apple was working on a smaller, cheaper version of the HomePod, it turns out that the rumors were right on the money because Apple has since officially taken the wraps off their latest smart speaker, the HomePod mini.
Unlike the regular HomePod, this is a considerably smaller version of the smart speaker featuring a spherical shape. It features the use of mesh fabric and comes with a touch-sensitive top surface which can glow and pulse with lights, as well as allow users to control the volume of the smart speakers.
While it might be easy to dismiss the HomePod mini as a smaller version of the HomePod, Apple claims that they have engineered the HomePod mini from the ground up. It features a full-range dynamic driver that they claim will be able to play music loudly but without distortion. There are also radiators that can improve on the bass response, along with an acoustic wave guide that helps the HomePod mini output 360-degree sound.
Apple has also included the use of the S5 chip with computational audio that can analyze your music as it is being played so that it can provide users with the best listening experience possible. As per the rumors, the HomePod mini also comes with a U1 chip that can detect when your iPhone is near, allowing users to hand-off music from their iPhones to the HomePod mini.
Given that this is a smart speaker with Siri integration, users can also expect to be able to control various smart home devices using their voice. There will also be a new “Intercom” feature that lets users send voice messages from one HomePod mini to another, along with the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and even CarPlay.
Users will be able to link multiple HomePod mini speakers together so that they can create a multi-room listening experience, but it will also be smart enough to detect when two HomePods are in the same room together in which it will transform into a stereo set of speakers.
The HomePod mini will be priced at $99 and will be in two colors and will be up for pre-order on the 6th of November and will ship out on the 16th of November.
