batteries, brackets and bases for Apple’s small “smart” speaker

If Amazon and Google are at the forefront of more accessible home automation with their voice assistants and “smart” speakers, Apple also has its own system and software to make our home a little more “futuristic”. HomeKit, Siri and the HomePod mini are the basic elements for control lights, TVs and sensors with your voice.

The HomePod mini is the only “smart” speaker officially sold by Apple after discontinuing the original a few months ago. Although it doesn’t sound as powerful and rich as advertised in 2017, it’s much cheaper, the sound experience isn’t bad at all and it has a pretty sleek design available in several colors.

As usual with most Apple products, there are several accessories designed for the HomePod mini with which to adapt it to our tastes or needs. These are some of the most recommended accessories for apple speaker.

Accessories for HomePod mini

Mission Battery Base

HomePod mini is a speaker that needs to be plugged into a power outlet to work. Apple didn’t provide it with a built-in battery to carry it around the house or take it outside (although it does require a Wi-Fi connection to work). However, with the Mission battery base (54.99 dollars) you can enjoy music away from a power outlet for about nine o’clock. It features an integrated cable management system and quick, tool-free installation in seconds.

Spigen Silicone Fit Base

If music is played at a high volume, it may cause nasty vibes. This Spigen base (14.99 dollars) has been designed to absorb them and its finish is matte and smooth, available in both black and white. The HomePod mini is angled slightly for easy manual control and has a cutout for cable access.

Cover for HomePod mini

The appearance of the HomePod mini is quite striking with its exterior mesh design. But if you fear possible blows and don’t mind “hiding” it, this cover (16.19 dollars) has been created to protect it from shocks and falls. It is made of silicone and the protection is complete, with a slight elevation at the top to be able to use the touch screen.

Wall mount for HomePod mini

If you want to place the HomePod mini on the wall, this support (12.99 dollars) allows it and is designed specifically for this “smart” speaker. Count with a cable management system: wrap the cable around the winder and hide it behind the stand, thus saving space and keeping everything neatly organized. In addition, there is no need to drill holes or place screws, as the weight is supported by the dowel.

Travel case for HomePod mini

The HomePod mini is quite compact compared to the original, which makes it easier to carry around. If you take it with you when you change residence or go on vacationthis travel bag (16.99 dollars) is rigid on the outside and padded on the inside. With high quality EVA, it provides shock and drop resistance. The interior is soft white velvet to prevent scratches.
