Google Discontinues Nest Mini and Audio, Raises Entry Price to $99.99

Google has discontinued the Nest Mini and Nest Audio, consolidating both into a single Google Home speaker priced at $99.99. The move abandons the tiered pricing that made the Mini an accessible sub-$50 option. Existing devices remain functional, though Google's history with long-term support—underscored by the 2022 Stadia shutdown—makes support timelines worth monitoring.
