Here are all the new HomePod Mini 2 colors

Apple has announced the HomePod mini 2, a second-generation smart speaker priced at $149. The device is powered by an S10 chip, which TechCrunch reports helps optimize loudness, acoustic performance, and dynamic range. The speaker features a "Sound Glow" function that uses LED lights to create a visual canvas on the top of the device, matching the color scheme of a song's album art.

According to The Verge, the new color options include pink and green, while the blue model has changed colors, alongside existing black and white options.

The updated speaker includes Siri AI integration, though Six Colors notes that this feature will not be available when the product ships on October 30, as it will arrive in a future software update. When released, Siri AI will allow for multi-turn conversations and can tap into personal context when paired with an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone or iPad. TechCrunch reports the device can also listen for sounds like smoke alarms to send phone notifications and can serve as a Mac's default speaker.

The HomePod mini 2 is part of a broader update to Apple's home portfolio that includes the HomeView smart display and an updated Apple TV 4K. Six Colors and TechCrunch both mention that users can create a four-speaker surround sound entertainment system by pairing four HomePod minis with the new Apple TV 4K.
