Instagram user shiology shared a photo of the white HomePod mini and its box.

Daniel Feodoroff was one of the first customers in the world to purchase a HomePod mini from an Apple Store in Miranda, Australia.

Priced at $ 99, the HomePod mini is a more budget-friendly competitor to Amazon Echo and Google Home, while still offering many of the features of the full-size HomePod, including Siri, HomeKit, Apple Music, Voicemail Intercom, and stereo pairing. The HomePod mini features the same S5 chip as the Apple Watch Series 5, enabling “compute sound,” and many reviewers have been impressed with the sound quality of the speaker.

HomePod mini is also launching in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
