Apple’s secret bestseller: finally directly available

A “small” Apple product has developed into a secret bestseller in the last few months. Those who ordered, however, had to expect delivery times of weeks. Now the situation is easing – fortunately.

Apple itself had probably not expected such success, but the new HomePod mini turned out to be an absolute bestseller with correspondingly long delivery times after just a few days. At the moment, however, the situation is easing.

Apple’s HomePod mini: Now directly available from Media-Saturn

The small “sound ball” is available from MediaMarkt and Saturn, for example, directly in the shipping department. Anyone who orders today will receive the HomePod mini directly on February 1st or 2nd. But you shouldn’t wait too long to place an order, because quick availability depends solely on the goods in stock. If it is out, you have to wait again. Positive: Media-Saturn are currently charging the better price from 2020, based on the lower VAT – 96.50 euros, currently even including shipping, both at Saturn and MediaMarkt.

At Apple, however, we pay 99 euros. By the way, if you order in the Apple Online Store, you will receive the HomePod mini between February 8th and 15th. This is also an improvement compared to the previous months, but this is currently being beaten by the goods in stock at MediaMarkt and Saturn.

So small, but already a real HomePod – Apple’s secret bestseller in the video:

New software, new functions

Good to know: With the recently released update to iOS 14.4 and the firmware version of the HomePod of the same name, the small speaker received additional functions, but an iPhone with a U1 chip (iPhone 11 and iPhone 12) is required. The new features include the option of transferring music on the iPhone to the HomePod mini with corresponding visual, acoustic and haptic effects. If the HomePod mini is nearby, there are also personalized listening suggestions and the media controls are displayed on the iPhone without it having to be unlocked.
