Apple announced the new HomePod Mini a few months ago and it is by far one of my favorite speakers. It is available at $100 only and packs a compact design. It comes in two color options and features a powerful punch when it comes to the sound. The HomePod Mini is part of Apple's attempts to gain market share in the smart speaker market. It competes against Google, Amazon, and more in terms of price as well as hardware and functionality.

That's all there is to it, folks. Users are also reporting excessive battery drain issues on the iPhone after updating to iOS 14.2. Let us know in the comments if you are a victim of the issue as well.
