Apple recently announced that the HomePod Mini speaker will be available in more color options. Now, the technology giant has started selling the smart speaker in Yellow, Orange, and Blue colors. Prior to this, it was available in only two colors — Space Grey and White.
The new color models of the HomePod Mini can be purchased through Apple.com and through the Apple Store app in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. At select locations in the US and Canada, the company is also offering same-day pickup.
The new Apple HomePod Mini in multiple color options will also be made available in China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan. Soon after that, the company will expand the availability to Australia, Austria, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, and the UK later this month.
Apple’s competitors in the smart speaker category, Google and Amazon with their Nest Mini and Echo Dot speakers, were already offering vibrant colors. While Google has Blue and Orange versions of Nest Mini, Amazon offers Echo Dot in Blue and some animal-themed designs aims at kids.
The HomePod Mini features a circular bowl-like design and is wrapped in mesh fabric. It emits sound in a 360-degree array and the company says that it combines amazing sound with the smarts of a voice assistant.
The device comes powered by an Apple S5 chipset which helps with computational audio. Two speakers can be connected to work together as stereo speakers, and they can also be used to send a message to the other speakers using a feature called Intercom. You can also use Intercom to send and receive messages on your other devices such as your iPhone, Apple Watch, CarPlay, and AirPods.
