Go to an Apple Store right now, and you’ll notice how the HomePod mini doesn’t ship in a colorful box anymore.

Colorful is Out, Plain is in – HomePod mini Drops the Colorful Box in Favor of a White One

You know the HomePod mini as a product that ships in a colorful box. It is Apple’s way of adding ‘fun’ to the product.

However, the fun element is now gone, and Apple has shifted towards a box that aligns better with every other product from the company.

Instead of shipping in a colorful box, HomePod mini now ships in a white box instead. Should this change bother you? Only if you were hoping to buy the speaker for the box itself, nothing else.

In other words, it shouldn’t.

Inside, you get the same product. The same HomePod mini with Siri and features like AirPlay. Don’t let that box change fool you one bit.
