Apple HomePod Mini color options, price in India, availability
The Apple HomePod Mini, priced at Rs. 10,900, is introduced in a new color option called Midnight. Apple says this variant is made from 100 percent recycled mesh material. It will be available for purchase starting July 17 in India, the US, and 30 other countries worldwide.
The new colorway is similar to the Space Gray option that the HomePod Mini originally launched in. After the new Midnight shade was revealed, online listing of the speaker did not show the gray option. Therefore, the new color option seems to have replaced the gray.
In addition to the new Midnight color, the Apple HomePod Mini is currently also available in Blue, Orange, White, and Yellow in India.
