Apple's HomePod rarely sees steep discounts, but this Cyber Monday we're tracking an all-time low price on the second generation smart speaker at B&H Photo.

Best Cyber Monday Deals


Anyone shopping for the second generation HomePod should look at B&H Photo's sale, which still has the best deal around online this season. You can get both colors for $279.99, down from $299.00. Although this isn't a particularly big markdown on the 2023 speaker, it remains the best deal we've tracked to date.

The new HomePod is a high-end speaker focusing more on sound quality, while the HomePod mini is aimed at people who just need an accessible and user-friendly smart speaker. If you want a more in-depth breakdown of all the differences between the two products, be sure to visit our buyer's guide.

We aren't tracking any notable discounts on the HomePod mini yet, but will update this guide when those deals start appearing.

I have the mini. I like the speaker but remain disappointed in the software.

I use it most of the time to stream one of two radio stations. But the speaker doesn’t remember them, Siri rarely gets them right and Apple defaults to their music one stream that I hate.

I shouldn’t have to take my iPhone out to use it.

Why this ‘smart speaker’ can’t replace my decades old clock radio is beyond me.

Yes, I have made these suggestions to Apple.

Can't replace your DECADES OLD clock radio? I would tend to think Apple is not the problem if that is true.

Yeah, why not mention that buying directly from Apple gives a $50 GC. That clearly seems like the best deal

Or an Apple certified refurbished for $249 exactly?

I've bought several refurb iMacs and macbooks directly from Apple and they've been like new. Apple.com link: https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/homepod
If you ever plan to buy from Apple again, the new one being the same price makes the refurbished being in existence moot until the promo ends. A $50 gift card for an Apple customer is the same as cash.
