Firstly, go secure yourself a couple 2026 Apple Polishing Cloths at $9 a pop before they sell out, a well as the Apple HomeView pre-order discount, then scope out the AirPods Pro 3 at $50 off and all five colors of Apple’s AirPods Max 2 at $100 off. We also still have various Apple Watch Ultra 4 models at nearly $100 off to match the all-time low and a return of clearance pricing on the Ultra 3 at $250 off the original list.

Amazon’s pre-order discount on the new Apple HomeView is back

Apple HomePod mini 2 deals now live from $126 (Best Buy open-box)

While Amazon has owned the early pre-order deals on HomeView and Apple TV 4K thus far, it does not official carry Apple’s new HomePod mini 2 and deals are likely to be quite rare on this thing. However, while we do not expect to see any particularly notable straight up cash deals on Apple’s new Siri AI home speaker, Best Buy does have some early “excellent” condition open-box units on the Midnight and White models.

The new Apple HomePod mini 2 carries a $149 list price, and it might very well stay there right through Black Friday. We, of course, can’t know for sure, but, if history is any indication, they are infamously resilient to price drops.

That said, there are some “excellent” condition open-box prices live at Best Buy sitting below the list prices right now:

- Apple HomePod mini 2 Midnight $126 (Reg. $149 new)

- Apple HomePod mini 2 White $127 (Reg. $149 new)

Clearly not a giant discount here, but because Amazon doesn’t officially carry the new mini, there’s really no telling when, or if, we will see actual discounts on new condition units.

My guy Jeff just delivered an in-depth rundown on everything new coming to HomePod mini 2 in iOS 27.2 and you’ll find some direct comparison pieces on what it brings to your home audio setup compared to the last gen model as well: HomePod mini 2 vs HomePod mini: Here’s everything new.
