Apple is lately getting used to changing things without prior announcement, even launching new devices. But what is not so common is that the company makes a reduction in its products without having taken out new ones. Today a trend is broken again and in Cupertino they have decided to lower the price of the HomePod.
The discount is already in force in the Apple Store online, and varies depending on the country where you look at it. Thus in the United States the price has fallen from $ 349 to $ 299, and in the United Kingdom from 319 pounds to 279. In Spain the reduction has been somewhat more discreet, falling from € 349 to € 329, same price as in France or Germany.
The HomePod has been unanimous in the critics of the experts as one of the best speakers in terms of sound quality within the devices of its segment. The integration with Siri has not been far from the most popular among users, largely due to the limitations that Apple itself places on third-party applications and services. However, and taking into account that its price is high, more and more users decide to try this fantastic speaker.
With this reduction Apple may be looking to encourage those who are undecided, although in the euro countries the reduction has been less important than in the United States or the United Kingdom. It is highly unlikely that this downgrade is due to a new version on the way., despite the rumors that have long pointed out that Apple may be thinking of launching more affordable "mini" versions but with the same features, except for the obvious difference in sound quality. Were you waiting to buy a HomePod or complete it with another to pair them? Well now is the time to do it.
Well, I don't want it that way, even if they lower the current price of € 200, I don't want it either. It's just a not very good speaker.
$ 50 less in the USA, £ 40 less in the UK, and in Spain ... € 20 less. Keep it up Apple ... winning friends. Or rather, losing loyal customers.
