HomePod mini: delays and stock shortages on the new colors 🆕 | iGeneration

Update: HomePod mini blue free shipping has now changed to the week of December 24 through January 7, instead of November 29 at the start of the day. And for a 10 € fee we will be delivered this weekend.

Also new, Darty, which now announces stock in all three colors from December 2. But we'll believe it when we get there. It is not uncommon for this brand, and its cousin Fnac, to advance on dates that are only being postponed (it was November 30 at midday…).

We were told, however, in early November that Apple Stores could receive larger batches of HomePod mini two to three weeks before Christmas. Here again, be careful, the confidence is a bit dated A little bird has just confirmed that the first deliveries of colored speakers have started in stores, and above all that stocks should be there from next Tuesday (November 30) .

The three new HomePod mini colors are starting to show long lead times on the Apple Store, and other sellers are out of stock.

Available in France since November 23, the yellow, orange and blue tones seemed to be largely supplied – the Apple Store planning page still indicates that we can wait until December 22 to hope for a delivery in time for Christmas . This is the case… as soon as you want black or white

If you have an Apple Store near you, all three colors are available in most but not all of them. Example, no yellow in Opéra, Rosny 2 or Vélizy 2 or blue in the first two. These shops without stock will not be busy before January 7th. If you can't go to an Apple Store, there's the option of delivery, but that's also complicated.

By paying €10 for postage, delivery can be guaranteed during the day, otherwise it will be between December 27 and January 7 for the yellow model and the orange model. The blue model remains available free of charge within short deadlines: Monday, November 29.

In the absence of the Apple Store, one might want to turn to Darty, Fnac, Cdiscount or Boulanger. Alas, Apple has reserved all the stock, the four brands have been out of stock since the day after the product was launched. To wonder even if they had the slightest HomePod mini to eat when some offered pre-orders several days before. Conversely, the black and white HomePod minis are available everywhere without any delay.
