I use my HomePod Minis to provide me with information such as weather forecast, reminders, sports scores, upcoming games, directions, phone numbers, etc. in addition, I use it for listening to music when I’m in my room. It is also my alarm, calculator, and timer.
I don’t care that they don’t support Dolby Atmos. My Original HomePod and AirPods Pro and my iPhone supports it and that’s good enough for me….
