0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Apple insider podcast. This is your host, Stephen Robles. And this
0:09.0	is a special episode recapping Apple's high speed event that took place today Tuesday,
0:14.5	October 13th. On the regular show this Friday, we'll go more into detail about the production
0:19.2	and some of the video elements. I want to get to you the announcements that came today,
0:22.9	which was the HomePod Mini brand new device. I'll talk about that in a moment. And we
0:27.4	have the brand new iPhone 12 iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 pro and iPhone 12 pro max. Let's start

0:40.4	design with a flat top has that big series screen like a normal HomePod. But with that screen on

1:30.8	announcement about Spotify coming to the HomePod Mini. Apple says the HomePod Mini has improved

1:41.6	your meetings and all that for the day, improved voice recognition. And this is a brand new feature
1:46.2	now coming to HomePod. But they are adding an intercom feature. You can tell your HomePod Mini or
1:51.3	your normal HomePod. I imagine this will come to that as well. You could say tell everyone
1:56.1	we're running late and it will actually broadcast that message across all of your HomePod devices.
