Apple Releases HomePod Mini in New Midnight Color

So now I'm supposed to want these new mini Midnights as they will match my Midnight HomePods better than the grey mini's?

What about the sound, any improvements with this 'upgrade'? Nah, probably not.
 
If you have space gray and are looking for a matching device, you're now out of luck. :)

Truth be told I don’t know what a HomePod mini would actually need in an update until they ready to put a chip capable of Apple intelligence in them. Im still using several full size original HomePods that don’t feel a need to be replaced unless they break

A replaceable cable would help imho. I destroyed the plug of one of my minis but instead of replacing a cheap cable, Apple is only replacing the whole homepod for a slight discount. In the end I found out the cable configuration and spliced in a cheap usb-c cable. But still, that's quite a user- & environmentally hostile and plain bad design.

Also, I'd love it if the top of the homepod was a magsafe charger.

Agree. Why they haven't done this yet is mind blowing.

It's not mind blowing at all. They aren't a Home Theater product. Some users have dragged the product kicking and screaming into this space, and Apple has begrudgingly made some small software concessions to make the experience less bad (like letting Apple TV remember them as output device). But it was never intended to be a serious entry in Home Theater, and still isn't.

Ugh. Another nail in the coffin for space gray. I HATE this midnight color, especially on the Apple Watch. Granted, I don’t know how the “midnight” HomePod mini compares to their other midnight products. Gray is a neutral color. Blue/purple-gray is not.

Just ordered one more Space Gray HomePod mini to round out my odd-size collection with a uniform look before it is discontinued.

In my experience Midnight is similar to Space Gray, but not exactly the same. Midnight has an ever so slight, navy blue tinge to it. Not bad, but different.

Doesn't have to be a "serious entry" when it could easily be a "passable" product in this space. If they didn't want people using it that way they shouldn't have allowed them to be paired with an apple tv. But pairing a set of these with a set of full sized homepods would be enough of a "home theatre" for 90% of people...

People making fun as usual, but midnight is a stunning and exclusive color shade from Apple. I am delighted Midnight is slowly working its way through the ecosystem of devices.

Man you really did some mental gymnastics for apple there by them calling black "midnight."
 
The difference seems to be that the fabric is now 100% recycled instead of only 90% previously.
