I'm pretty deep into the Apple ecosystem - have an iPhone, Apple Watch and a Macbook (also planning to get the Apple TV device later this year maybe). I wanna get a speaker, but I'm confused as to whether I should get a HomePod Mini or another traditional Bluetooth speaker.

Realistically, all I'm gonna be using it for is music, audio for meditation apps, phone calls and alarms. A Bluetooth speaker (costs almost half as much as the HomePod) can pretty much do all of those things except play alarms, plus it's also fully portable unlike the HomePod. I also don't already have a HomePod to use the stereo sound or intercom feature.

Any help is appreciated (as well as other potential uses that I might not know about).
