There’s good news for those bored by the HomePod mini’s color options. Apple just announced at Monday’s “Unleashed” event that its smart speaker will soon be available in three additional hues.
The price isn’t going up. But there’ll be a wait to order the fresh options.

HomePod mini buyers will be able to choose from yellow, orange and blue. The device already came in space gray and white.
“With new vibrant colors, HomePod mini fits in even more places and delivers amazing sound, the power of Siri, and simple and secure smart home controls, all while protecting your privacy,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s VP of Worldwide Product Marketing.
Aside from the new colors, the smart speaker isn’t being upgraded.
