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?

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".
