HomePod mini
Hi,
I have currently an Apple Music Account, an IPhone 12 and the latest IPad Pro. I would like to buy a HomePod Mini for my 8 years old son and I have a few questions before.
I understood how to set up the HomePod Mini via the Home App but once installed what does the HomePod require to work without any phone or iPad nearby? Is it actually possible? I mean, my son has no phone yet nor an IPad, and I would not like to keep my phone or iPad nearby just to make the HomePod work. Is it sufficient to have a internet connection to make it work?
And it would only be to play music from Apple Music in his room. I guess I would need to setup a family account on Apple Music, right?
I would really be happy if someone could answer all those questions because I am unable to find anything helpful on the net.
Thanks in advance,
Alain
