HomePod mini 2

HomePod mini 2 with room-filling sound. Pair additional speakers for multi-room audio. An intelligent assistant with Siri AI for your smart home.

Buy on AmazonBuy at Apple

Amazon is usually cheaper and comes with the same one-year Apple warranty. Either way you can add AppleCare+ within 60 days of purchase.

iHelp's verdict

A good little speaker and £149 is fair, but it's a small update after six years. If you have the original, keep it.
