HomePod Mini and Apple TV Stock is Dwindling at Select Apple Stores Ahead of New Models

HomePod mini and Apple TV inventory is starting to dwindle at select Apple Store locations around the world, suggesting that new models may be imminent.

For example, the HomePod mini is completely out of stock in all five color options at Apple's flagship Regent Street store in London, as of this writing.

Some other HomePod mini and Apple TV configurations are out of stock at some Apple Store locations, but online availability is faring better for now.

Both the HomePod mini and Apple TV are expected to be updated this year, and the following new features and changes have been rumored for the devices:

In his Power On newsletter last weekend, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple planned to announce new products "this week." However, in a follow-up post on X, he merely said the products would be announced "as early as this week."

I keep hoping Apple will allow using a HomePod mini pair for rear surround sound on Apple TV when using HomePods as the Apple TV default output.

So would faster processors/better wifi make any noticeable bumps in streaming quality? Or would it just mean faster navigation between apps?
Apple intelligence plus better GPU for Apple Arcade.

Faster WiFi if your network supports that.

I won’t be upgrading from my Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen 128GB that I got for $99.99 (smoking deal) from Costco last December.

I won't replace my Apple TV HD until after November 1st, just so it can have served me for "10+ years of active use".
