Released back in the fall of 2020, Apple’s most affordable (by far) speaker to date is naturally not getting any younger, but with no (credible) word of a sequel yet, it’s also not getting any less compelling. That’s because the 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 diminutive Echo Dot and Echo Pop in that crucial department.
That explains how incredibly rare these deals still are 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 on the chromatic front. That’s right, all five color options are being sold at $79.99 at the time of this writing, although that’s probably not going to be the case much longer.
If history is any indication, the most popular hues will likely start going out of stock in a matter of hours, followed by… all the others before the week concludes.
