HomePod Mini Launches in Finland, Norway, and Sweden on December 13 [Updated]
The HomePod mini will be available in Finland, Norway, and Sweden from Tuesday, December 13, Apple has announced via press releases.
Priced at 1,249 Norwegian krone/Swedish krona and 109 euros, the HomePod mini will be available in white, blue, orange, yellow and space gray.
The HomePod mini delivers 360-degree sound, uses Apple's voice assistant Siri, has built-in Thread support and support for the Matter smart home standard. Two of the speakers can also be connected to form a stereo pair. Apple rolled out support for Siri in Finnish, Swedish, and Norwegian on the HomePod earlier this year.
