HomePod mini 2 is expected later in 2026, according to reports
Reports suggest HomePod mini 2 could arrive later in 2026 with a faster chip and new colors.
A refreshed HomePod mini is listed in the CMS calendar as an expected later-2026 product. Reports describe a faster chip and new color options, but Apple has not confirmed the speaker or its release schedule.
The chip could be important because HomePod mini also works as a home hub for compatible smart-home accessories. A faster processor might provide more room for future Siri and automation features, although that possibility is not confirmed.
The final audio hardware, price, colors, and software support remain unknown. For now, Apple’s current HomePod mini is the only confirmed product in this category.
