After nearly six years, Apple debuted a new, improved HomePod Mini . The $149 HomePod Mini 2 will launch on Friday, October 30th, and you can place a preorder now through Apple , Best Buy , Target , and B&H Photo .

The speaker includes the S10 chip, which debuted in the Apple Watch Series 10, and it can power a host of features. It will support Siri AI after a future update, pairing you with a better, more helpful voice assistant. The speaker can be integrated into a four-speaker surround system with the new Apple TV 4K, and they can serve as speakers for a Mac computer (so long as it supports Wi-Fi 6E). Lastly, the top of the HomePod Mini 2 can arrange its LEDs to mimic the album artwork for the music you’re listening to.

Update, October 14th: Added links to Best Buy and other retailers.
