The biggest highlight:

* enhanced Handoff for HomePod Mini

Also

iOS 14.4 includes the following improvements for your iPhone:

* Smaller QR codes can be recognized by Camera
* Option to classify Bluetooth device type in Settings for correct identification of headphones for audio notifications
* Notifications for when the camera on your iPhone is unable to be verified as a new, genuine Apple camera in iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max

This release also fixes the following issues:

* Image artifacts could appear in HDR photos taken with iPhone 12 Pro
* Fitness widget may not display updated Activity data
* Typing may be delayed and word suggestions may not appear in the keyboard
* The keyboard may not come up in the correct language in Messages
* Audio stories from the News app in CarPlay may not resume after being paused for spoken directions or Siri
* Enabling Switch Control in Accessibility may prevent phone calls from being answered from the Lock Screen

I guess I’m going to have to get a pair of HomePod mini’s..
I pick up a HomePod mini back in December. It works pretty well, though I mostly use it as a speaker controlled by my iPhone rather than use Siri. One of the down sides of having multiple Siri enabled devices is confusion over which device you are talking to! I'll probably pick up a second one since two are suppose to sync up for better sound quality. It already sounds good.

My only grip with the HomePod mini is that the top of the device is touch sensitive to start and stop playing. My cats turn it on at least once a week.
