Apple's HomePod rarely sees steep discounts, but this Cyber Monday we're tracking an all-time low price on the second generation smart speaker at B&H Photo.

Anyone shopping for the second generation HomePod should look at B&H Photo's sale, which still has the best deal around online this season. You can get both colors for $279.99, down from $299.00. Although this isn't a particularly big markdown on the 2023 speaker, it remains the best deal we've tracked to date.
The new HomePod is a high-end speaker focusing more on sound quality, while the HomePod mini is aimed at people who just need an accessible and user-friendly smart speaker. If you want a more in-depth breakdown of all the differences between the two products, be sure to visit our buyer's guide.
We aren't tracking any notable discounts on the HomePod mini yet, but will update this guide when those deals start appearing.

It has been a slow start to 2026 for Apple product launches, with only a new AirTag and a special Apple Watch band released so far. We are still waiting for MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, the iPhone 17e, a lower-cost MacBook with an iPhone chip, long-rumored updates to the Apple TV and HomePod mini, and much more.
Apple is expected to release/update the following products...

Apple is planning to launch new MacBook Pro models as soon as early March, but if you can, this is one generation you should skip because there's something much better in the works.
We're waiting on 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, with few changes other than the processor upgrade. There won't be any tweaks to the design or the display, but later this...
I have the mini. I like the speaker but remain disappointed in the software.
I use it most of the time to stream one of two radio stations. But the speaker doesn’t remember them, Siri rarely gets them right and Apple defaults to their music one stream that I hate.

If you ever plan to buy from Apple again, the new one being the same price makes the refurbished being in existence moot until the promo ends. A $50 gift card for an Apple customer is the same as cash.
Best deal for HomePod is actually Apple themselves cause of the $50 gift card that comes with it making it essentially 249
