The second-generation smart speaker is expected to feature new colours, a faster chip and support for Siri AI.
Apple’s upcoming HomePod Mini 2 appears to have been revealed ahead of its official launch, with a new image showing the smart speaker in five different colours.
Apple introduced the original HomePod Mini in October 2020. The compact speaker initially launched in white and midnight before Apple expanded the range with blue, orange and yellow colour options.
HomePod Mini 2 Gets New Colours
According to information shared by MacRumors, the HomePod Mini 2 will reportedly be available in pink, white, green, blue and midnight.
Pink and green would be new additions to the HomePod Mini range, while the blue variant appears to be slightly lighter than the blue version offered with the original model.
The leaked image provides an early look at the colour options expected for Apple’s next-generation compact smart speaker.
New Chip and Siri AI Support
The updated design is not expected to be the only change.
MacRumors reportedly discovered information within Apple’s own code indicating that the HomePod Mini 2 could be nearing its launch.
The new model is also expected to feature an upgraded chip, potentially improving performance compared with the original HomePod Mini.
Another major addition could be support for Siri AI, as Apple continues to expand its artificial intelligence capabilities across its product ecosystem.
The integration could give the HomePod Mini 2 access to more advanced Siri features, although details about the exact capabilities remain limited.
Possible Launch Next Month
Apple has not officially confirmed the HomePod Mini 2 or announced a launch date.
However, the original HomePod Mini was unveiled in October, leading to speculation that Apple could introduce its successor around the same period this year.
If the reported information is accurate, the HomePod Mini 2 could arrive with a refreshed colour selection, updated internal hardware and enhanced Siri functionality while retaining the compact design that made the original speaker part of Apple’s smart-home line-up.
