Overview
- Apple reseller B&H lists all HomePod mini models as discontinued, while several major retailers show backorders or color-specific stockouts.
- Adorama flags backorders, Target and Verizon have limited color availability, Walmart largely shows third‑party resellers, and Staples lists no online stock.
- Apple’s online store still offers all colors with immediate shipping, though 9to5Mac notes in‑store pickup is limited at many locations.
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported expectations for a new S‑series chip, updated wireless and UWB hardware, and audio improvements, with no major design changes beyond possible new colors.
- Timing remains unconfirmed, though Bloomberg suggested a launch could come as soon as this month, and past stock dips earlier this year did not result in a new model.
