HomePod Mini Leaked With Smaller Spherical Design in White and Black

[MacRumors]

In addition to sharing what appear to be official images of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, reputable leaker Evan Blass today has shared images of what he claims is the widely-rumored "HomePod mini" in black and white.

While the existing HomePod has a rounded, cylindrical design, it appears that the HomePod mini will feature a more spherical design, with a similar mesh finish available in black or white. A flatter top surface will house touch controls for volume, playback, and more, and a large multicolored light will appear when Siri has been activated.

Last week, a reliable leaker who goes by the alias "Kang" claimed that the HomePod mini will be announced alongside the iPhone 12 lineup at Apple's event today, with orders to begin in mid-November for $99. The speaker will allegedly be 3.3 inches tall, compared to the existing 6.8-inch HomePod, and be powered by the same S5 chip as the Apple Watch Series 5.

Apple's event begins at 10 a.m. Pacific Time today — here's how to watch. Follow along with MacRumors for live coverage of the announcements.

Did not expect this design.
I thought it will be like the smaller version of the HomePod. It looks cool tho.

Gotta love that everything is being leaked now right ahead of the event. No more ah’s and oh’s for the most devoted fanboys trawling the news sites hours before The Unveiling

[Bdub12]

I'd love an option to use the OG HomePod as a sub with a pair of these. It should be a simple software update.

It is very suspicious that Evan is releasing these product leaks on his new social network, Voice.

 

[exterminator]

this looks really nice. If only i had a reason to buy one. (Still don't)

This HomePod mini might wind up available before the new echo dot.

I hope this is not what it looks like. Too round, I like the original style. It was sleek and professional looking!

Apple Bocce Ball?

At the bottom of the white model, it looks like there is a wireless charging pad. Is this a portable?

[swingerofbirch]

Shape is like the G4 Cube speakers, but those were more beautiful.

The original looked almost exactly like a roll of toilet paper though. 😧
