B&H Marks HomePod Mini as Discontinued as Retail Stock Tightens

Recent reporting points to a near-term refresh centered on new chips plus updated colors.

Overview

  • B&H now lists every HomePod mini configuration as discontinued, removing the speaker from sale.
  • Availability has thinned at Adorama, Target, Walmart, Staples, Verizon, and Best Buy, with backorders or sold‑out colors reported.
  • Apple’s online store continues to offer all color options for purchase, though 9to5Mac notes limited in‑store pickup at many locations.
  • Bloomberg has reported that an updated model could arrive this month, but Apple has not announced any changes.
  • Rumors point to internal upgrades rather than a redesign, including an S‑series processor update and Apple’s N1 networking chip with refreshed colors.
