The original HomePod was Apple's answer to the smart speaker trend. It offered Siri built into it, excellent audio quality, and a sleek design. But by all accounts, the speaker didn't sell that well -- and has since been replaced by the newer HomePod Mini.
The HomePod Mini promises to take everything that users loved about the original HomePod -- like good audio quality and smart features -- but at a much lower price. In fact, the HomePod Mini comes at a very affordable $99. Sure, it doesn't match the likes of the Google Nest Mini and Amazon Echo Dot, but it easily makes Apple's smart audio features more accessible.
The HomePod Mini is around a year old now, but Apple recently updated it with a series of fun new colors. We thought that made this a good time to revisit the speaker. Is the HomePod Mini still a great buy? Find out in our full HomePod Mini review.
