Review on Smart column Apple HomePod mini, gray space by Thanh Qu ᠌

I've been using two speakers for almost a year. And their biggest and fattest minus, which pisses me off the most, is the 2 second delay when playing music in Spotify when I turn on or pause the music. This is downright annoying. This problem is more than a year old for HomePod mini, and more than three years old for the older HomePod model. As I understand it, the damned AirPlay 2 is to blame for everything. Therefore, the claim here is not even against Apple, but against the Spotify developers, who, for some reason I do not understand, still cannot or do not want to adapt their application to this wireless data transfer standard. This 2 second delay ruins my user experience a lot, it's one huge disappointment. Do you know how I pause music? First, I turn off the sound completely with the slider, and only then I tap on the button. Infuriates. But even despite the annoying delay and stupid 2022-speaking Siri, which appeared in the column with ate 15.2, which is inferior to the same Alice in everything, and which infuriates that she has to be addressed with a stupid phrase “Hi Siri” instead of a normal and human “Hey , Siri", this little HomePod mini speaker is still very cool and worth the money. It might even be too cheap. For comparison, the MagSafe Battery Pack costs the same amount, and this cost is also infuriating. I used to use Apple Music with which the speaker works perfectly, but then I switched to Spotify. And if the developers of AM could implement the function of radio stations by tracks as cool as it currently works in Spotify, then I would return to Apple Music and not know grief. In short, annoying. Well, there are a lot of mixed feelings. If you prefer AM to other music services, then pick up a speaker without hesitation. If, like me, you love Spotify but are willing to put up with a 2 second delay, then buy it too. Separately, I recommend turning on the slider in the “Less bass” item through the “Home” application, because otherwise there will be a lot of bass
