Full-Sized HomePod Discontinued ➹

This makes sense (as the original HomePod was extremely expensive by any measure, especially if you wanted a pair), but the mini is still lacking essential features like any kind of audio plugs for external speakers and something as simple as removable cables and a mute button.

And those are exactly why I have an Echo Listen plugged into to my office speakers. That and it also supporting multiple music services…

Oh, and it would be nice to be able to buy one in Portugal. For whatever reason, it’s not directly available here, so even if the feature set were complete, I wouldn’t be able to get one easily.
