Should You Buy the HomePod Mini?
The HomePod mini is Apple's smaller smart speaker, featuring a round design, the S5 processor, 360-degree audio, and the U1 chip, all for a price tag of $99. Introduced in October 2020, the HomePod mini has now been around for more than four years in Apple's lineup, and rumors suggest that Apple is working on a new model that's set to come out in 2026. With an update slated for 2026, now is not a good time to buy a HomePod mini, although we're unsure when during the year that the new model will be released. We recommend that buyers wait to purchase a HomePod mini if possible. Wit
