`
`Apple has cut the price on the HomePod by $50, in what appears to be a permanent price
`drop from $349 to $299 for the smart speaker, via 9to5Mac.
`
`This new discount isn’t the lowest HomePods price we’ve seen — last year saw holiday sales
`at retailers as low as $249 — but unlike those sales, the new price isn’t a temporary deal,
`which could help juice up sales of the pricey speaker. Still, at $299, it remains one of the more

`Apple drops HomePod price down to $299 - The Verge
`expensive smart speakers on the market, especially compared to products like the Google
`Home, Amazon’s Alexa, or the Sonos One.
`
`The updated price still underlines the fact that Apple doesn’t have any budget options for
`integrating Siri into a smart home like Amazon and Google do with the Echo Dot and Home
`Mini products, respectively.
`
`The price cut seems to be universal across the various regions where the HomePod is sold.
`(The UK price has dropped from £319 to £279, for example.) The price change is effective
`immediately on Apple’s website.
