But this plan does not offer us a free replacement of the device in case you suffer any mishap that is obviously not covered by the warranty. In the United States the cost of replacing the HomePod is 78 dollars if we have AppleCare +, 68 pounds in the United Kingdom and 114 Australian dollars in Australia.
But if we do not choose to contract AppleCare +, that price rises considerably. up to $ 279 in the United States, 319 pounds in the United Kingdom and 399 Australian dollars in Australia, so depending on the environment in which we plan to place the HomePod it may be an excellent idea to hire it.
If we are thinking of placing it in the kitchen, or if we have small children at home or animals, it may be an excellent idea to hire you, since they are risks or situations that can cause more than one accident in the device.
