- Both Gen 1 and Gen 2 has no Spotify native software support. (Spotify connects through Airplay, which means Siri cannot communicate back and forth with the Spotify App)
- Gen 1 (2018) pricing was cut down due to lackluster sales from $349 to $299 then later discontinued in 2021. Pricing rumors had it start at $199. But Gen 2 (2023) pricing is at $299, again.
- Gen 2 has the S7 chip which Apple shares usage for their Apple watch series. The S7 shares the same SoC architecture with Apple Watch S6, S7 and S8 series. These are based off the A13 bionic chip. For context, the same A13 bionic chip is in the iPhone 11 (2020), iPhone SE 2nd Gen (2020), and iPad 9th Gen (2021). HomePod Gen 1 had the A8 chip, which was a powerful chip at that time but now discontinued.
- Supports Bluetooth 5.0
- Gen 1 had WiFi 5. Gen 2 has WiFi 4.
- Gen 1 had 7 tweeters and Gen 2 has 5.
- Gen 1 had 6 mics and Gen 2 has 4.
- Slightly shorter and noticeably lighter than Gen 1.
- New color Midnight available on the Gen 2.
- Gen 2 has the new temperature and humidity sensors, in which the HomePod Mini will also acquire through a software update. Temp and humidity hardware on the HomePod Mini was secretly available. HomePod Gen 1 support is unknown.
- Listens and sends alert based on Smoke and Monoxide alarms.
- Full-screen, and now bigger display located at the top of the device compared to Gen 1.
- No headphone jack.
- Thread support.
- Matter compatible.
- Dolby Atmos capable.
- Gen 2 has now a detachable power cord.
