Image: Apple Apple just launched a version of its HomePod Mini smart speaker in a new “midnight” color. The dark color looks very similar to the original space gray that the Mini launched in, but the new naming brings it in line with the midnight HomePod second-gen that was released early last year. It goes up for sale on July 17th in the US (still for $99) and 31 other countries. The HomePod Mini only launched with two colors — space gray and white — initially, but Apple later added yellow, orange, and blue. Apple says the new Mini is made with 100 percent recycled mesh. Until now, the smart speaker’s mesh has used 90 percent recycled material. Image: Apple The midnight HomePod Mini is black, but it’s a different black than... Continue reading…

Today, Apple announced a new HomePod mini color. Almost four years after its first release, Cupertino is revamping its midnight color with a tweak: It's now made with 100% recycled mesh fabric. At just 3.3 inches tall, Apple says HomePod mini offers big sound in an impressively compact design. HomePod mini in midnight is available starting Wednesday, July 17, and joins other bold colors, including yellow, orange, blue, and white. Apple says HomePod mini users can listen to a catalog of over 100 million songs with Apple Music and enjoy room-filling audio with a single speaker, in a stereo pair, and using multiroom audio. To level up entertainment, users can even use the smart speaker to create a home theater experience with Apple TV 4K. With Siri, users can access a range of music knowledge and search by artist, song, lyrics, decade, genre, mood, or activity. This new colorway is part of Apple's effort to become carbon-neutral by 2030. At this moment, Apple says its new Apple Watch models are carbon-neutral, but several other products, such as Macs and iPads, use recycled parts. That said, the other colors still have the same mesh fabric that isn't 100% recycled. This announcement comes just before Apple releases the public betas of its upcoming software updates. HomePod Software 18 is expected to be available for the public soon. Still, it's important to note that HomePod won't get one of the most interesting features of this cycle, which is Apple Intelligence. However, Cupertino says the HomePod mini also offers "convenient ways to manage everyday tasks and control the smart home. Users can create smart home automation, get notified when a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm is detected in their home, check the temperature and humidity in a room, and use Intercom to send an announcement throughout the house." The new HomePod mini in midnight is available to order for $99 (U.S.) from apple.com and the Apple Store app. The new color will be available at Apple Store locations in the U.S., Canada, China mainland, Singapore, and 28 other countries and regions starting July 17. HomePod mini in midnight will also be available through Apple Authorized Resellers and select carriers.

Archaeologists have unearthed burials dating back over 1,000 years in the garden of The Old Bell Hotel in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. These Anglo-Saxon remains, which include 24 skeletons and material related to several other individuals, are dated between 670 and 940 AD. The discovery has provided significant physical evidence of the early monastic community linked to Malmesbury Abbey. Abbey’s Early Days: Middle Saxon to the Golden Age The find was made last year during a routine machine-watching assignment, required as part of the planning conditions for new construction at the hotel. The remains of Anglo-Saxon men, women, and children were discovered in the hotel’s grounds, which are adjacent to Malmesbury Abbey. These findings are particularly noteworthy as they pertain to the abbey's earliest days when it was first established as a monastery. Paolo Guarino, Assistant Publications Manager and Malmesbury resident said in a press release by Cotswold Archaeology: “We knew from historical sources that the monastery was founded in that period, but we never had solid evidence before this excavation. The discovery includes remains from the Middle Saxon period, marking the first confirmed evidence of 7th to 9th century activity in Malmesbury.” These burials offer new insights into the functioning of Malmesbury Abbey during its golden age when it was a leading center of scholarship in Western Europe.

Donald Trump suggested that President Joe Biden may persuade the Justice Department to end two legal cases against the former president in a sign of trying to unify the country following the failed assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

President Joe Biden will receive the official nomination from fellow Democrats for a second term in a virtual vote as planned in late July, ahead of the party's national convention, despite calls for him to step aside, four people involved in the process told Reuters.
