Unfortunately you can't get it in Singapore. Even the original HomePod wasn't available in Singapore.

 Just received my HomePod Mini. Ordered from Hong Kong and friend delivered for RM 20. The sound quality is underwhelming compared to the original HomePod. I bought the HomePod mini for RM400 and previously a full size HomePod for RM750. I would say go for the HomePod if you have the space and doesn’t need thread. I am getting the Nanoleaf Essential Lightbulb to test with thread so I guess I'm keeping it. The sound quality is less than 40% of the original HomePod. If you had heard an original HomePod, this does not sound like it at all -> Closer to a Google Nest Mini. This post has been edited by kokhoong0624: Nov 23 2020, 02:32 PM |

I got a HomePod from Canada and brought it back. The Apple Music doesn't really work with my Malaysian Apple Music. I signed up for Apple Music Canada and it works here too. But once I switched back to Apple Music Malaysia, I can only stream music like any other app does. Like Spotify I cannot use any functions that Apple Music provides to HomePod. Like play during playlists. Or other like 'Play Soothing Sounds'. SUCKS! I wish Apple can get better here in Malaysia. But I feel it will never happened... InsyaAllah, a miracle might happen. p.s. If I am wrong, please teach me how to fix it. Thanks.  PoisonSoul liked this post

I checked with their Mid Valley branch earlier and they’re selling the original HomePod at 1.7k, a little too expensive because I saw a seller selling it at only 1.2k on Shopee & Lazada. |

Surprisingly, i could turn off the screen and the video would continue to play on the tv. Once again i am not on youtube premium subscription. Any idea why this would work while airdrop cant? |

the sound quality definitely is really good for the rm500 price tag. Very little distortion. The sound quality you expect from top of the range apple pro range device.
I'm going to buy another one to form a stereo pair. |

very good speakers.
i hate most speakers around with strong bass only but without clear and crisp vocal. homepod mini is good for this department totally. better than any JBL speakers which are the 2nd in my list. |

i'm impressed with the sound quality for a Rm500+/- speaker especially coming from Apple.
The only problem i have with this homepod mini is the transferring music from phone to mini(or vice versa). sometimes it works and sometimes doesn't which is not consistent. |

There will be a slight delay if I skip & forward the video.Really a good buy. The sound quality is superb. Now deciding whether to buy another one to use as stereo. Do you guys also subscribe to the Apple Music? |

Slight delay is normal initially, after that it will be normal.Do you guys also subscribe to the Apple Music? Find it acceptable, considered very responsive liao. I do not subscribe to Apple Music. Only airplay content to it. Do u use two minis or just one? |

I'm a bit disappointed with the discontinuation of the HomePod OG. I have 2, one in living room and one in master bedroom. I haven't got the HomePod mini yet but I don't really see how it can match up to the OG especially in a largish room. Having said that, I'll definitely be getting minis for my kids' rooms.

how come I cannot airplay to my HomePod mini from my macOS high sierra directly using the airplay button inside macOS or the apps inside macOS as per what I can do with my iPhones?
I can only use the volume button to select the output device as HomePod mini and output the sound to it? and it end up acts like the external speakers of my MacBook Pro? is it normal??? |

Is anyone of you having problem with Siri on homepod? Mine keeps saying "one moment please...", "This is taking too long". I have restarted both the homepod and router but things never change.

I bought from Mint seller (from Laz but Shopee also got the same seller), they gave me HK unit. It came in the original Apple outside brown box packing. They just stuck a J&T label on it. i bought it immediately when homepod mini was launched from best buy - US site (not even the apple US website). becos almost most US website do not accept credit cards that are not issued in US. i tried quite hard then manage to buy it that time. and homepod mini was out of stocks for quite a while when it first launched. it is a great speaker. i was trying out many brands to find a speaker that can meet my needs but was out of luck. I always like ths sounds on all the apple devices including this homepod. i am very particular about the clarity of vocals of a speaker. but most brands speaker is having very strong bass but poor vocals which i do not like. apple one is good becos the bass is good enough but again the vocal is very clear. |

QUOTE(chiahau @ Nov 2 2021, 11:14 AM) Yeah so I don't expect Malaysia to get it either Yea if we don't get it here via apple store, we can always get it elsewhere Wait either shopee or my HK friend to help me. Blue color looks good and seems like a decent X'mas gift. I'm eyeing at the mustard one..the colour is so loud that it'll be a good addition to decorate my place |

Bought two HomePod Minis: blue and orange on 4 Nov afternoon, and they both arrive this morning.
Setup as stereo speakers, and the sound quality is very good (for the first time Apple's Home App is installed on my phone) 
As they don't have built-in batteries and will be used indoor, I do not purchase Apple Care+ for them. |

What language do you all select for your Siri for Apple Homepod Mini?
On my iPhone and iPad, I can choose English (Singapore) which bests can detect our speech well but on the Homepod Mini that selection isn't available (since it isn't available in Malaysia) I guess. |

Anyone tried using the Homepod Mini connected to a GaN charger? Thinking of getting a pair for stereo, but would prefer to only use 1 plug to connect both cables - free 1 more slot for other stuff.

So long the wattage on each port push out enough wattage. Have seen someone use it with power bank. |

Been using the HomePod Mini in Stereo for over a week now, a little hit and miss.
AirPlay is quite wonky, especially if you are using a non-native Apple app, you get audio delay (need to manually toggle), frequent audio cut-off (1-2 sec) and at times output will only be on one speaker. Apple should pay more attention to the software part of the HomePods, the sound quality is acceptable but the software is a real pain at times. |

Depending on your setup - if you are specifically referring to using HomePods for 'Lossless', you won't be able to hear the difference. Only through a proper wired connection (either directly to the source or through a DAC), you are able to tell the difference between standard AAC and ALAC - a placebo effect that you can hear an 'improved' experience over AirPlay / Wifi / Bluetooth but they aren't really 'lossless'.somemore i cannot tell the difference. |

Already 2022 and still no sign of the Homepod Mini coming to MY yet. Might just go for the Shopee ones instead of waiting an eternity. Anyone bought one from shopee? Warranty provided by seller or direct register with Apple?

Has anyone purchased from ssuperdeal.com.my before? Its a store on shopee and the HomePod mini price is cheaper then MINT.
I also asked MINT and they can help with the HK warranty in case any issues crop up but they charge RM 50 for shipping. Just in case anyone finds this useful. |

It is still good and strong. I think u want to get it fixed it is quite difficult. Maybe u should contact apple to see if they even provide repair service at those countries that sell this and the cost of repair. Mine is from US directly. This is why I prefer to buy from apple directly than buying from third parties which they are not reliable. I have one unit of original homepod (big one) bought from apple hk and shipped back also.

Currently Shopee has a 500-100 Mall seller voucher. Good combo for HomePod mini RM529-100 = RM429 bai bai bai Even after that voucher it's still more expensive than the RM370-390 I bought from Mint or ssuperdeal on Lazada.

I just realized that one of my homepod mini got issue to reconnect to WiFi. The mini (orange) my bedroom won't reconnect to the WiFi after manual/scheduled restart the router. It only reconnects when I open the Home app. I thought the wall or the door block the WiFi signal. Then I swapped it with the unit in my living room (blue), which beside the router and still the same problem.
Too bad I only discovered this recently and the warranty expired on Feb 2024. |
