If you are building a home theater, HomePod mini 2 lands two weeks before the Apple TV it pairs with. Apple says four-speaker surround sound requires four HomePod mini 2 or HomePod (2nd generation) speakers in matching pairs (front and rear), paired with Apple TV 4K (4th generation).
If you are buying Home Collection gear, get a hub first. Apple says the accessories need a compatible home hub such as Apple HomeView, HomePod or Apple TV for additional features, plus an iPhone running the latest operating system software for NFC pairing.
