Goodbye HomePod Mini in Space Gray; Hello HomePod Mini in Midnight
Apple Newsroom:
Today, Apple introduced HomePod mini in midnight, made with 100
percent recycled mesh fabric. At just 3.3 inches tall, HomePod
mini offers big sound in an impressively compact design. With a
seamless, acoustically transparent mesh exterior and a backlit
touch surface that illuminates from edge to edge, HomePod mini is
a stunning smart speaker that complements any space. HomePod mini
in midnight is available starting Wednesday, July 17, and joins
other bold colors, including yellow, orange, blue, and white.
This confused me for a moment, because they make it sound like they’re simply adding this new color to the lineup. But Midnight is simply replacing the subtly different Space Gray. The bigger question: is this a sign that a HomePod Mini gen 2 isn’t coming soon? The current models debuted in November 2020, and are powered by the S5 chip from Apple Watch Series 5.
