Apple has extended delivery times for the HomePod mini across several international markets, with some color options becoming temporarily unavailable. In the United States, yellow and orange models are currently restricted in certain regions, while other colors show estimated delivery dates ranging from October 12 to October 21.
Similar supply constraints are reported in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, and Japan, where wait times for the orange version have reached six to eight weeks. In Canada, yellow and orange units are currently listed as unavailable for delivery, with specific timelines varying significantly by postal code.
The HomePod mini, originally launched in 2020, features an 8.4-centimeter height, the S5 chip, and support for 360-degree audio and smart home standards like HomeKit and Matter. While intermittent supply issues have been noted for over a year, the current delays have fueled speculation regarding a potential hardware refresh.
Reports from Bloomberg suggest a possible October 13 launch for a new HomePod mini alongside updates to Apple TV. Rumors indicate the next-generation device may retain the current design while incorporating an upgraded chip for Siri AI capabilities and new color options, including green, pink, blue, white, and black.
