You can ask Siri to start playing something, or select the speaker as an AirPlay target from a compatible Apple device. Compared to the original model, Apple has added temperature and humidity sensors, confirmation tones for some Siri requests, and Matter support.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"oMf_i1YBuMk\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/oMf_i1YBuMk\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>The HomePod has a \u201ccustom-engineered high-excursion woofer, powerful motor that drives the diaphragm a remarkable 20mm, built-in bass-EQ mic, and beamforming array of five tweeters around the base,\u201d all powered by an S7 chip \u2014 the same chip that powers the Apple Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a> 7.
