Apple HomePod mini gets a new color

Apple has made a minimal but notable change to the HomePod mini. This new version not only brings a new color option with “Midnight”. The small speaker has also received a software update.

New color option “Midnight”

Apple has introduced a new color option for the HomePod mini: “Midnight”. This replaces the previous dark gray called “Space Grey” and offers a slightly deeper, more elegant shade. However, if you are not an expert in the field of coloring, you will have to take a closer look to notice a real difference between the two shades.

Rather, Apple’s aim with the color change will be to match the color scheme of the large HomePod. In any case, the color palette of the mini speaker will become more diverse and adapt to the usual market.

This further enhances the aesthetics of the HomePod mini, making it an attractive gadget for style-conscious users. As a reminder, when the HomePod mini was launched in 2020, there were just two colors – white and space gray.

Price and availability

Despite the new color option and software updates, the HomePod mini remains unchanged in price. This still makes it an attractive option for those looking for a high-quality, compact smart home device. If you want to buy the handy little speaker in the new color, you can do so now on Apple’s official website. The tech company is calling for a price of 109.00 euros for its mini speaker.

The changes to the HomePod mini may seem small at first glance, but they offer additional options and improved software for existing and new users. The new “Midnight” color option in particular should be well received and give the HomePod mini a fresh look. Nevertheless, it is high time for a second generation of the popular speaker. After all, it is now almost four years old. Perhaps we can expect a corresponding announcement in the fall.
