HomePod mini arrives in Taiwan, China and Mexico

As the holiday and shopping seasons approach, many European and American users are looking for their ideal gifts. Apple has recently launched the Apple Store Black Friday special offer. Until the end of this month, as long as you purchase designated products, you can receive a gift card of the corresponding amount.

Apple products including the iPhone 12 series, Apple Watch, AirPods, etc. have also become the first choice for many people as gifts. Among them, HomePod mini has to be mentioned. This smart speaker priced at US$99 has been in a state of "out of stock" since it was launched, and the delivery date in many European countries will not be until next year.

In fact, except for the United States and India, HomePod mini's global inventory is very low. The delivery time of HomePod mini in the first release regions such as Hong Kong, Japan and Australia is currently between four to six weeks, but users in India are luckier. If you place an order now, you can receive HomePod mini in about a week.

It is worth mentioning that HomePod mini also landed in the Taiwan and Mexican markets on Monday, priced at NT$3,000 and Mexican pesos, or about US$105 and US$129 respectively. Mexican users can receive the product in a shorter time if they order now (1 day as of press time), while Taiwan may share inventory with other regions, so if you place an order now, you will have to wait until January next year to receive the product.

The HomePod mini in mainland China removed the words "released after approval" on Monday, which means that this product has probably passed the 3C certification, but there is still no confirmed release date.
