Apple's new HomePod mini will share the same design as the original model and come in five colors, MacRumors has found.
The information originates from Apple's own code (spotted by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris) and shows clear product images of the new models in all of their colors. The above image contains Apple's own icons, which specifically refer to a "HomePod mini 2."
The new HomePod mini will come in green, pink, blue, white, and black. The current model comes in yellow, orange, blue, white, and midnight. The new blue is slightly lighter than the current offering.
We are not sharing the exact details of the files, but their presence in Apple's code suggests that the product is likely to launch soon.
Apple announced the original HomePod mini in October 2020 for $99. Available initially in white and space gray, the 3.3-inch speaker features a fabric-covered spherical design and a backlit touch surface for playback and volume controls. Its S5 chip powers computational audio, while a full-range driver, two passive radiators, and an acoustic waveguide deliver 360-degree sound. It also offers Siri, smart home control, multiroom audio, stereo pairing with a second HomePod mini, and Intercom messages between Apple devices. Apple later raised the price to $129.
Apple has been rumored to be working on a new HomePod mini model for several years. A new chip is almost certain to come to the device, along with support for Siri AI. It is expected to launch before the end of 2026.
