Apple’s new speaker: Germany has to wait
New MacBook Pro, 3rd generation AirPods … was there anything else? Oh yes, the HomePod mini is getting a new coat of paint from Apple starting today. But in Germany we still have to be patient, because Apple is making us wait.
Update from November 2, 2021: As predicted, Apple is selling the new, colored versions of the HomePod mini now in the USA, Kannada and Mexico. China, Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan also followed shortly afterwards.
In this country, however, the fear of a delay actually arises. Together with customers from Australia, Austria, France, India, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and Great Britain we have to be patient until the end of November, only then does Apple plan to start sales. Until then, there are only the two well-known versions in space gray and white in this country (source: Apple).

For a long time no one believed in the success of the HomePod – not even Apple. The original and expensive model has long since disappeared from the portfolio. Instead, the iPhone manufacturer tried a smaller and much cheaper edition. See there: The HomePod mini became a secret bestseller. Not surprising at a price of just under 100 euros (see Saturn). Rarely has an Apple product been so inexpensive.

We can’t really confirm this for Germany, because there is on the product page of the HomePod mini November is still generally spoken of, without restriction. And in Apple’s store app it says “Coming soon” with the subsequent notification option.
