HomePod Mini and Apple TV Stock is Dwindling at Select Apple Stores Ahead of New ModelsHomePod mini and Apple TV inventory is starting to dwindle at select Apple Store locations around the world, suggesting that new models may be imminent.
For example, the HomePod mini is completely out of stock in all five color options at Apple's flagship Regent Street store in London, as of this writing.
Some other HomePod mini and Apple TV configurations are out of stock at some Apple Store locations, but online availability is faring better for now.
Both the HomePod mini and Apple TV are
expected to be updated this year, and the following new features and changes have been rumored for the devices:<ul><li><strong>HomePod mini:</strong>
S9 chip or newer with
support for next year's revamped version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, an
Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip with Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 support, improved sound quality, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, and potentially
new color options like Red.</li>
<li><strong>Apple TV:</strong> A faster
A17 Pro chip that
will support next year's
revamped version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, and an
Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip with Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 support. A
built-in FaceTime camera has been rumored for a future Apple TV, but it is unclear if that will arrive with the next model.</li></ul>In his
Power On newsletter last weekend,
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said
Apple planned to announce new products "this week." However, in a
follow-up post on X, he merely said the products would be announced "as early as this week." <div class="linkback">Related Roundups:
