The HomePod mini became available for preorder on Nov. 6, with the earliest shipments set for Nov. 16. Apple's new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini models went up for pre-order on Nov. 10, with shipments expected to arrive the following week.

As of Monday, Nov. 16, some customers across the globe are beginning to receive the first HomePod mini devices.



HomePod Mini is cute.

Sound quality is amazing and it can get loud. But it lacks bass. Makes sense as it's small.

Definitely won't replace my Sonos One speakers. Then again it is half the price of a Sonos One. pic.twitter.com/QjeHiYgEWf

    My two HomePod minis arrived yesterday to my uk forwarding service but I won’t get them here in Kuwait for a couple of weeks.

    looking forward to replacing the dreadful echos in the bedroom and kitchen.

    Ordered a BTO Mini right after the event and it is due today. 
    UPS usually delivers to my house really early or late, so I am expecting it late this afternoon.

    It is going to be nice to run my iOS apps on my Mac with the Trackpad on a 32” 4K screen.

    Got mine set up -- this thing is small, with great sound for the size. Full sound, which includes some bass, even if it doesn't have room-thumping bass. It's perfect for bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Sounds better than an older, dedicated AirPlay iHome speaker that is much larger. Multi-room via AirPlay 2 is fantastic, even if it's still too cumbersome to figure it out for normals IMO.
