[eBay Plus] Apple HomePod Mini MY5G2X/A - Space Grey $110 Delivered @ Allphones eBay

930
PLUSPOD

Description copied from techradar.

The HomePod mini is the cheapest device Apple has ever made and as far as we can tell, it's never been available for under AU$130 in Australia, even during a big sale. So to see this diminutive smart speaker available for just AU$110 before Black Friday hits is good news indeed, particularly if you're an Apple fan. That's 26% off if you're keen on the maths.

This discount is available on eBay and is exclusive to Plus members. Like some of eBay's big sales, this early Black Friday offer is only available for a limited time, with just 300 units of the Apple HomePod mini dropping today (Sunday, November 21) at 10am AEDT. You will also need to use to the code PLUSPOD at checkout to get the discount.

    Got a few of these when they did the $50 off $150 with latitude pay at a few stores. Worth it at around $110!

        Ebay being 26 years old not a great record

    got one, tried to get a second on another account and was gone by the time I had updated the details …

  • +1

    Missed out, only 100 stock?

  • +1

    so much for 300 in stock. First the discount code didn't apply then the bank blocked the transaction. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

    • Trust me not great. I’m an apple buff but this thing was ordinary. I got a 3rd Gen echo and it sounds almost identical for $19. I have Apple Music hooked up to it and can access it like an intercom from anywhere.
      I got mine for $10 and seriously considering the 4th Gen echo for $74 on sale. Honestly smarter device which sounds better.

  • +1

    what makes you think they didn't sell 300?

    • +5

      It showed 102 sold 0 available before they pulled the listing with technical problems.

  • it is back to stock again, I grabbed another one at 10:35

    • +1

      Yep got one.

  • +2

    back in stock now!

  • Was gonna pull the trigger. But why do I want this?

    • +4

      Not exactly comparable but Echo dot was as low as $10…..

      I have google home, google home mini, Echo dot just because I visit ozbargain too often. Can't believe I was thinking of pulling the trigger too

      I can almost organise a party at home with virtual assistants 😂

      • Same… I almost pulled the trigger but audio review is not that great so may wait for echo sale.

  • +1

    Back in stock. Got one. Thanks OP

  • +1

    Thx op, got one. Not a ios eco system user so not sure why i bought one 😔

    • +2

      Guess you bought a gift for someone else.

    • To make it worth it, it's time for you to start spending money on other $$$$ ios system 😜

  • Does it needs to be plugged in all the time or can be used as wireless Bluetooth speakers for andriod devices or smart tv?

    • +1

      Always plugged in

    • It’s not wireless, needs to be powered. It also can’t be used as a Bluetooth speaker

      • I knew it needed power, but assumed all of these ‘smart’ speakers today were able to do Bluetooth. Well, today I learned :)

  • 11:14am and still in stock. I don’t need one though.

  • Thanks OP! Got one at 11:08 :)

  • +1

    I think that these also function as Homekit Hubs.

    • This is why I got one so hope so.

      • +1

        Yep they do!

  • +1

    Got one at 11:40
    one Christmas gift sorted!

    Thanks OP

  • Got one at 11:52, thanks OP!

  • If I am not into Apple's ecosystem, what's the advantage of this over Alexa or Googlehome? (Others are way cheaper)

    • None.

    • +1

      If you're not in Apple's ecosystem, don't buy this. It has smart home and Airplay capabilities, but if you don't have other Apple devices or a Homekit setup, you're not going to be able to make use of the features.

    • +2

      Personally, the HomePod mini has better audio when you compare it with the similar sized offerings from Amazon or Google. I terms of the digital assistant, Siri is not smarter when compared to Alexa or Google. The HomePod works well if you have other apple products (at least an iPhone). If not it's not worth buying one.

  • Thanks OP, grabbed one! Just switched to Apple ecosystem recently and was thinking about getting one to try!

    Got one 12:50

    just a note these don’t have native integration with Spotify, YouTube music, nor many of the popular music streaming services. this means you can’t say “hey Siri, play x on Spotify”. the only way is to manually select the song on your phone and then airplay it. this is a huge dealbreaker imo, and I sold it for this very reason.

    if you have Apple Music, then it works great.

    • Yep its very much locked into the apple ecosystem like most apple things. That said, it works great with apple music

      • -1

        From internet searches, Spotify not working on Homepods appears to be due to Spotify spite rather than the Apple 'walled garden'. Spotify does work on most other Apple devices, so I don't necessarily agree with the 'very much locked into the apple ecosystem like most apple things' comment. One can also easily run Google Home on a number of Apple devices (not Homepods), which works against that comment.

        That said, as a user of both Google Home and Homekit (and Hubitat and HA on a pi), Homekit is far better than Google Home in my opinion, especially when used in conjunction with Apple shortcuts, automations and either HA or Homebridge.

        I am hoping that the Spotify issue gets resolved, as I would definitely replace some of my 6 Google Home/Nest Mini etc. speakers with Homepods (at the right price) or at least turn off the microphones on my Google speakers for privacy reasons.

      • I have apple music and don’t use Spotify but man I had to let mine go. It was crappy as a smart speaker. Actually extremely unapple like as far as products go and we are a very apple household.

        • Yeah it’s smart capabilities really arnt that great. I don’t overly use them to be honest. The sound it produces however is excellent for a smart speaker, packs a real punch and fills the room.

  • 1:39pm AEDT: “unfortunately, this code no longer works”.

  • Got dispatch email and tracking number already.

    This isn't even worth $10.
    Stick with Alexa or Google.

      Up to you, I would rather pay that extra $130 than to have Amazon/Google eavesdrop and sell my info 24/7. You have to realise they're cheap for a reason.. you become the product

      • So you rather have apple eavesdrop and sell your info 24/7 ?

        • Only reason I am vocal about this is I feel like many people don't understand how much data google/amazon collects versus Apple who prioritises your privacy/security. As apple doesn't collect and sell data (in their privacy statement), Siri's AI doesn't learn as fast as google/alexa which eats all your daily habits/shopping/web-browser habits etc.

            @iwantaphone: Then you should have turned off locations because android gives you the option to. Apple just collects without you knowing about it and uses it for targeted adds. Not to mention that the biggest cloud leaks have been from Apple. No wonder iCloud leaks includes ppls private pictures everyother year including celebrities.
            Siri AI sucks because it is a crappy AI not from the lack of trying. They just couldn't get it right but then fan boys will use anything to support even the crappiest software from Apple.

            • @pompompom:

              your article is about 3rd party apps if you actually read it
              All free apps have marketing
              Google themselves explicitly tracks your phone and location. Apple doesn’t.
              Apps != Apple
              that article is from 2019

              I wonder what other companies have sacrificed $10billion to stop 3rd party apps from taking your data :/ just do some research and you’ll understand how Apples business model works.

              https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/10/31/social-media-firm…

              Btw, just google Siri vs Alexa/google at data collection it’s not that hard to read it all over the internet. Or even Reddit

              • -1

                @iwantaphone: Mate third party apps are part of apple eco system. They are published to app store after rigorous approval process from Apple. People spend most of their time on apps and that is the biggest loophole.
                Apple spends 10 billion on privacy and then made a 12 billion deal with Google over data. It's all over the internet read about it.

                By your argument you should consider switching to a dumb Nokia unit from the 90s because you can't get more secure than that.
