My HomePod mini, which I bought from eBay for £50 a couple of years ago, has slowly become less and less a bespoke, helpful audio device to a glorified voice-controlled kitchen timer. I suspect something similar has happened all over the world with other HomePod minis as well — after all, the device itself has been out since 2020, and has only seen color updates since then.
But that looks to be changing this year, with Apple likely to launch a new HomePod mini, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. It could well be coming alongside a refresh to the Apple TV box, along with improvements to Siri.
