Apple introduces HomePod mini in midnight 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 now, and joins other bold colors, including yellow, orange, blue, and white. HomePod mini users can listen to a catalog of over 100 million songs with Apple Music and enjoy room-filling audio with a single speaker, in a stereo pair, and using multiroom audio. To level up entertainment, users can even use the smart speaker to create a captivating home theater experience with Apple TV 4K. With Siri, users can access a range of music knowledge, and search by artist, song, lyrics, decade, genre, mood, or activity. With the intelligence of Siri, HomePod mini also offers convenient ways to manage everyday tasks and control the smart home. Users can create smart home automations, get notified when a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm is detected in their home, check temperature and humidity in a room, and use Intercom to send an announcement throughout the house — all hands-free. HomePod mini in midnight is available to order for $99 (U.S.) from apple.com and the Apple Store app. The new color will be available at Apple Store locations in the U.S., Canada, China mainland, Singapore, and 28 other countries and regions starting July 17.
