Apple’s surprisingly powerful HomePod mini is on sale at a sweet discount in all colorways،

If you're a die-hard Apple fan and looking to complement your personal collection of Siri-powered devices with a smart speaker, but can't afford the full-size HomePod 2, we've got some delicious news to share with you today.

In addition to said second-generation HomePod beast, the first-of-its-kind HomePod mini is also on sale at a special price at Best Buy for an undoubtedly limited time. This is obviously a cheaper product than its big brother, which normally costs $99.99, making its $20 discount even bigger.

Released in fall 2020, Apple's most affordable speaker (by far) to date naturally isn't getting any younger, but without any (credible) word yet, it's not getting any less compelling either. Indeed, audio performance is objectively better than the HomePod mini's compact packaging might suggest, not exactly rivaling what Amazon's high-end Echo Studio offers, but probably beating the tiny Echo Dot and Echo Pop in this crucial department.

Of course, there's more to a good smart speaker than just listening to music from your favorite streaming service, but the HomePod mini also does a more than adequate job of searching the web for answers to your voice queries, by setting reminders, creating lists, sending messages. , checking your room temperature and even helping you control your entire smart home with little effort and no contact.

This explains how these deals are still incredibly rare after more than three years of commercial availability, and what's even more special about Best Buy's latest HomePod mini promotion is that you get complete freedom of choice chromatically. That's right, all five color options are priced at $79.99 as of this writing, although that probably won't be the case for much longer.

If history is any indication, the most popular shades will likely start going out of stock within a few hours, followed by…everything else before the end of the week.
