Apple's HomePod mini 2 is on sale today. It costs $149 in the U.S. and is available at most Apple Store locations around the world. The first pre-orders are also starting to arrive at customers' homes.
What you get
The HomePod mini 2 is a small Apple smart speaker. It comes in two-tone pink, green and blue, alongside the white and midnight options. The colors are the clearest change in the material we have.
The price
The original HomePod mini launched at $99. It rose to $129 after a June price increase. The new model is $149, which is $20 above the old price and $50 above the original launch price.
What is not clear yet
The source says it lists what is new with the speaker, but those details did not come through in the material available. That means what the new model does better than the old one is not covered here. It also does not say whether the older $129 model is still sold.
If you are choosing a small Apple speaker, check what Apple lists as new before paying more. If the older model is still on sale where you shop, compare the two prices side by side.
The takeawayThe HomePod mini 2 costs $149, so weigh the extra $20 against the older $129 model if you can still find it.
