Apple appears to be preparing a HomePod mini 2 with the same compact design as the current speaker, but five new colour options. The MacRumors report says images found in Apple’s own code show green, pink, blue, white and black models, suggesting a launch before the end of 2026 rather than confirming one.
The report comes from product assets spotted by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris. The images specifically use Apple’s “HomePod mini 2” naming, while the physical design appears unchanged. The new blue is reportedly lighter than the current blue, and the existing yellow and orange finishes do not appear in the reported line-up.
HomePod mini 2 colours and design
The HomePod mini 2 is expected to retain the current speaker’s 3.3-inch spherical body, fabric covering and top touch surface. Apple’s code points to five finishes, but it does not reveal the final specifications, price or release date. The images are evidence that Apple has prepared product assets, not an announcement that the speaker is ready to ship.
Apple’s current HomePod mini page lists 360-degree audio, Siri, smart-home control, stereo pairing and multiroom playback. The existing model launched in October 2020 at $99 and now sells for $129 in Apple’s US store, according to the official buying page. MacRumors says a new chip and Siri AI support are expected, but those details remain unconfirmed.
What Apple has not confirmed
Apple has not announced the HomePod mini 2, its price, launch date or regional availability. That leaves the UAE release window and price open as well. Apple’s previous HomePod mini updates have kept the same basic product shape, while the company has been linked to a broader Siri AI push in earlier HomePod reporting on tbreak. A separate HomePad and HomePod mini report covered Apple’s wider smart-home plans.
The colour change may be the most visible update at launch. A new processor or Siri features would give Apple a stronger reason to refresh a speaker that has otherwise stayed largely the same since 2020, but neither feature is confirmed by Apple. For now, the HomePod mini 2 exists in Apple’s product files and in a MacRumors report, not on Apple’s shop.
Should current HomePod mini owners wait for the HomePod mini 2?
Yes, if a newer chip or Siri AI support matters to you. Apple has not confirmed either feature, so the current model remains the only available option.
Will the HomePod mini 2 launch in the UAE?
The UAE launch date and price are not confirmed. Apple’s US shop still lists the existing HomePod mini, so local availability should not be assumed from this report.
What is the biggest visible change on the HomePod mini 2?
The reported colour range changes to green, pink, blue, white and black, replacing the current yellow and orange options. The speaker design appears to stay the same.
