Apple’s HomePod Mini now has new color options. This speaker was first introduced in October 2020 along with the iPhone 12 series. There is an illuminated touch panel on the top that allows users to control the volume and supports Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology. It has an internal S5 chipset and an additional U1 chip to enable UWB support. This smart speaker is compatible with iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch as well as car speakers with Carplay function.
Color options, price and availability of Apple HomePod Mini in India
The Apple HomePod Mini priced at Rs. 10900 introduced a new color option called Midnight. According to Apple, this version is made from 100% recycled lace fabric. It will go on sale from July 17 in India, the US and 30 other countries worldwide.
The new color is similar to the Space Gray option that the HomePod Mini first launched with. After the announcement of the new Midnight Shade, the gray option did not appear in the online speaker list. So it looks like the new color option has replaced gray.
In addition to the new Midnight color, the Apple HomePod Mini is now available in Blue, Orange, White and Yellow in India.
