Verizon today has Apple's HomePod mini for $84.99 in three colors, down from $99.99. As with all Verizon discounts, you don't need to be a Verizon Wireless customer to get this sale, and the retailer is offering free two day shipping.

At $15 off, this is the best price we've seen on the HomePod mini in over a year as discounts on the smart speaker have been extremely rare. Verizon also has a few other accessory discounts this week, including 30 percent off a bundle of the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil USB-C, and iPhone 17 accessory bundles.
