Ngamazwe amathathu okuqala ukuba nesithethi esitsha sika-Apple, iKhaya lasekhaya, elithengiswayo. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, esi sisalathiso esihle sokubona amaxabiso anokusekwa ngu-Apple kwilizwe lethu xa ethatha isigqibo sokuwazisa, kwimeko yeFrance neJamani ixabiso leKhayaPod lifikelela kwi-349 euros, enokuthi iphawule ixabiso kuwo onke amazwe e-European Union xa iApple ithathe isigqibo sokuyisungula.
Ngamafutshane, yeyona nto inomdla kwiindaba esele zisaziwa ngeentsuku ezimbalwa kwaye iApple ayinakho "ukufihla" kakhulu ukumiliselwa kwezi HomePods kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo kwaye ngoku singatsho abo basebenzisi abafuna eFrance, eJamani naseKhanada sele benendlela yokuzithenga.
