Overview

• Select Apple Stores report dwindling units, with London’s Regent Street showing the HomePod mini sold out across all five colors.
• Some configurations are unavailable in stores while online orders remain broadly available, suggesting channel adjustments ahead of any refresh.
• Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman shifted guidance from “this week” to “as early as this week,” reinforcing near-term expectations without firm dates.
• The next HomePod mini is rumored to add a newer S‑series chip for Apple Intelligence–ready Siri, an Apple‑designed Wi‑Fi chip with Wi‑Fi 6E or 7, improved audio, second‑gen UWB, and possibly new colors.
• A refreshed Apple TV 4K is rumored to move to an A17 Pro–class processor and Apple‑designed Wi‑Fi with 6E or 7 support, while a built‑in FaceTime camera remains uncertain for this cycle.
