There are seemingly never-ending rumors of Apple planning a new HomePod with a built-in smart display For now, though, its smart speaker lineup still begins and ends with the HomePod 2 and HomePod Mini. There are some colors to choose from, at least, but no matter which model you choose, you can expect some stellar audio performance.
These Siri-powered smart speakers integrate tightly with the rest of Apple's products, especially the iPhone. But that kind of deep integration, coupled with consistently impressive audio performance, is going to cost you. Thankfully, there are discounts and freebies to be had if you look in the right place. We haven't seen a discount on these smart speakers in a while so, you're interested, you should act fast because once the deal is up, we don't know when it will come back.

Best HomePod deals
In a surprise move, Apple unveiled an upgraded HomePod in January 2023. The long-awaited update to the full-size HomePod -- originally released in 2018 and discontinued in 2021 -- has a mostly unchanged appearance, but the new smart speaker packs some interesting additional features alongside the exceptional audio quality we've come to expect from Apple gear. New features include Matter, Thread and Bluetooth 5.0 support, plus built-in temperature, humidity and sound recognition sensors.
B&H Photo is selling the HomePod for $289, a modest $10 less than the usual price. The retailer also offers a neat way to save on sales tax with its own-brand B&H Payboo credit card,* which gives you the tax back as cash. On a purchase as large as a HomePod, that's a decent chunk of change.
Order the latest HomePod directly from Apple for $299 and you'll score three months of Apple Music (worth $33) at no extra cost if you're new to that service.
Best Buy has the latest HomePod at its original asking price and you can order one in either color right now. However, while Best Buy normally offers a raft of free Apple services with these products, that isn't the case right now.
There aren't any direct discounts on the HomePod at Adorama. If you have the Edge card,* you can save 5% or $15.
Best HomePod Mini deals
Launched in late 2020, Apple's HomePod Mini provided a more compact and, crucially, cheaper smart speaker option for Apple fans. Vibrant colors were added to the lineup in 2021, something the full-size HomePod lacks. At $99, the Mini is much more affordable than its larger sibling, although it's still nice to find a HomePod Mini deal that can knock down its price even further.
Again, one easy way to save on Apple gear is to buy at Target, where you can save 5% when you pay with a Target Circle™ Card. That's good for $5 off the HomePod Mini. Keep in mind, only the yellow color option is still in stock.
New subscribers will get four months of Apple Music at no extra cost. That's not all. You will also get four months of Apple Arcade and three months of Apple Fitness Plus and Apple TV for free.
Apple's HomePod Mini costs the full $99 at Apple, although new subscribers will get three months of Apple Music at no extra cost. That's a $33 value.
You'll get three months of Apple Fitness Plus with your purchase. You'll also get three months of Apple Arcade and Apple Music as well as two months of Apple TV. Best Buy Total members can save $5 on a HomePod Mini.
