Have been eyeing getting an additional mini and found this on Officeworks.
For whatever reason they have 2 listings, one for $99 and another for $139.
Enjoy

Is it possible to price match with JB? May be able to use Ultimate GC on the JB website?
I got it matched from JB via online chat. The Ultimate GC can be used.
Good luck lol
can you ask it to play the radio etc, as with Google Home?
You can try… just temper your level of expectations of results… Siri is the personal assistant that was dropped on it's head at birth… and has never recovered.
- I used to be able to say "Hey Siri… play BBC World Service" and it would play the live stream of…. BBC World Service. Nice.
- Then after a couple of months, the same command triggered instead… a recent 5-minute news-wrap-up from BBC World Service News. Not what I wanted… but hey, whatever… it's still telling what's happening in the world right now.
- Now the same exact command… starts playing some BBC podcast from the previous week… with ads in the pre-roll… ie: I ask Siri to do a thing… and then ads start playing.
Siri can and does manage to play ABC Radio Melbourne when asked without any mishaps. Even does it to "Homegroup" throughout the house. That's what's so frustrating about Siri…. when it's good… it's VERY VERY good… but the very next thing you ask it to do… it's like it's horribly hung over and can't remember what its name is, who you are, and what "kitchen lights" are.
For me the classic test and highlighting of differences between the two is one time while watching a movie I pause to ask Siri "How old is Keanu Reeves?"
Siri came back with "Keanu Reeves is an American-born actor who's starred in many hit movies. I found more information on the web… would you like me to send the link to your iPhone"Hey Google… How old is Keanu Reeves?
Google instant reply…. 59.NOTE: I'm here in this thread because I just snapped up one of the $99 HMP… making it the sixth one in my house… so yeah… venting a bit. :D
How is this one as a speaker? Anyone using it on a Windows Desktop?
Bad. It doesn’t have Bluetooth connectivity, it only works via AirPlay.
FlyPay won't work for me
can i replace siri with alexa?
No, but Amazon has a good portion of the Alexa devices at 40-50% off right now if you want to use Alexa.
Thanks OP, Ordered one!!
no white 😭
Got one through JB price match and paid by JB GC swapped by TCN Home. Good Deal
Did you get to choose color?
buy the grey one, leave the store. Head into another store and swap for the color you want. Have done this on a few occasions with different items.
Big brain
I am tempted by the space grey so went through with the same colour.
Picked it up today and was surprised with the USB-C 20W power adaptor included.
How does the sound quality on these compare with an Echo Show 8? I am currently using the Echo Show as a speaker but curious as to whether this would have better sound….
Ordered C&C yesterday 5pm and not received a ready for pickup email yet. Has anyone got theirs?
Yeah got mine. Carnegie OW in VIC.
Anyone know why this is listed for $99 and they have another listing for a space grey HomePod mini at $139 (same as the other colours). Are both the same?
Both seem to be the same, no idea why OW has two listings of the same thing.
Both listings are technically different.
$99 / Part #MY5G2XA / Barcode: 190199710474
$139 / Part#MY5G2AXA / Barcode: 194252654460I'm not aware of Apple releasing any revisions, if anyone else has an idea - feel free to chime in.
No reports of Apple releasing different versions of the Homepod mini, only the Homepod. I'm surprised there's two different part numbers and barcodes, can't see why they could be technically different.
Just got mine delivered, Model # A2374 Made in Vietnam. Can any one got from JB or other retailer share theirs ?
Cheers! Ordered one
For anyone who wants to purchase from JB. I got it price-matched. Then use JB perk $10 voucher (new user)
I also used Ultimate GC without any issues. (EFPOS)Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe JB will only price match if you're not in WA as there's no stock here.
I believe so. The person did ask for my postcode.
I think it will work if you give them any other postcodes to get the Homepod mini price matched. Then in the price-matched link, you can put in your address and have it delivered to your place.
F.Y.I. I have it delivered because local JBs do not have stock. It costs me $5.99 for shipping, but with a $10 voucher/Ultimate GC I am quite happy with my purchase.
Currently in this boat too. In WA and wanting to get one but trying to find best workaround.
You game to try and get JBHifi to pricematch online and then when they send the link to you, put in your WA address? :-)
Just gone mine delivered.
Just got mine delivered, for anyone that has issues setting it up (e.g. 7003 error) it's likely due to old software. Mine shipped with 14.3 and because I have advanced data protection on, it fails on setup.
Workaround for me was to plug it into a MacBook and "restore" the latest software to it. Assume it would be the same for PC with iTunes installed.
"Unavailable online"
OOS
Still available in NSW (Alexandria, Postcode 2015) it seems.
Just got mine too, it seems the new HomePod mini are made in Vietnam compared to what I got from release, china.
Taken off the OW website now, only the $139 ones left.
I bought 2 during this deal (thanks OP!) but I think they're going back tomorrow.
I've spent the last 2 nights trying to get them connected and working with HomeKit. Hours of set up failures, factory resets, Wifi connectivity drop outs and Wifi router setting changes - I really just don't think it's worth investing more time into them.Curious if you have iCloud Advanced Data Protection enabled by any chance? https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT212520
I had some trouble setting up the one i ordered as well - turns out I needed to connect it to my macbook and manually update the firmware since the factory firmware did not seem to support this!
Just checked - don't have iCloud Advanced Data Protection enabled.
I'd already connected both to my Macbook to update their firmwares - still no luck in getting them to connect reliably.
Odd… so far mine have been great, operating on the main VLAN. Maybe you got some defective ones? Otherwise if you have some fancy access points like unifi APs, you can see more detailed wifi stats to see what's going on.
Sorry to hear!
years ago when I first got a HomePod, my connectivity issues were related to my router (had a el cheapo tp link setup). Now that I've got a decent Asus mesh setup it's been smooth sailing.
Not defending Apple here! but maybe its to do with something on that front.
they need to be updated to iOS 17 in order to work via MAC
I've had iOS 17 for quite a while now..
Back again!
Yeah I saw the deal was OOS but had an old tab opened. Bought one from OW but ended up price matching at JB live chat to get white and blue.
Have to say I'm pretty disappointed with mine.
Have two of these now connected with an Apple TV and there is some bug where the volume and sound is inconsistent.
OOS again?
Looks like OOS… drat!
Cheers, thanks.
Not sure what I'll use it for yet (use Amazon Echo devices already) but new to owning an iPhone so why not.
FYI - JB Hi-Fi doing price match easily enough.
Back in stock at OW!! Just checked Joondalup, online order only.
Out of stock online for me.
