Does the homepod mini need to be plugged in all the time in order to function

Homepod Mini .... it appears in videos and on the Apple web page as detached from the charging cord and functioning?


I just received a mini and the charging cord doesn't appear to detach and the mini appears not to work when not plugged into an outlet ... what I'm I missing here?

It needs to be plugged in all the time. There is no battery. Commercials don't feature unsightly cables, there will be holes in the furniture or a careful choice of camera angle.
