Also, the HomePod mini 2 can be added to a home theatre set-up when paired with the Apple TV 4K (4th generation). Currently, four HomePod mini 2 speakers can be paired simultaneously, or two HomePod mini 2 speakers with two larger HomePods (curr. $302 - refurbished on Amazon). Elsewhere, Apple has added Sound Glow, a feature that allows the speaker's top panel to glow and pulse in time to music.
Moreover, Apple has packaged all these changes inside an 84.3 x 97.9 mm housing that weighs 335 g. At launch, the HomePod mini 2 can be picked up in Blue, Green, Midnight, Pink and White finishes. All colours retail for $149 in the US, £149 in the UK and €169 in the Eurozone.
The HomePod mini 2 is available to purchase from today in the US and more than two dozen other countries. However, pre-orders will not begin shipping until October 30. Please see Apple's website for more details.
