HomePod mini shipping times have extended to a maximum of eight weeks in numerous countries, with certain color options presently unavailable for delivery. On Apple's U.S. website, yellow and orange variants are currently out of stock for specific ZIP codes. Blue and white models are projected to be delivered between October 14 and 21, while midnight edition devices are estimated to ship between October 12 and 14, with potential variations based on location.
In the United Kingdom, blue variants are unavailable for delivery, whereas yellow is anticipated to arrive within three to four weeks, and orange in six to eight weeks. The orange model also faces a six-to-eight-week shipping time in Germany, France, Australia, and Japan. In Canada, both yellow and orange colors are unattainable for purchase, although other hues typically arrive within a few business days.
These delays precede a speculated October 13 launch of a revamped HomePod mini, alongside an upgraded Apple TV 4K and a new smart home hub. The alleged HomePod mini 2 retains its present design but includes a more powerful processor, Apple Intelligence compatibility, and fresh color choices. Periodic shortages of the HomePod mini have been observed for over a year, yet a connection between product releases and delivery delays is common.
