Having been launched almost a year ago, the Apple HomePod will become available for sale in both China and Hong Kong as of this Friday, boosting the device’s reach to a total of ten markets.
Almost a year ago, Apple’s HomePod hit the US, UK, and Australian markets but, as it became apparent in the following couple of months, the smart speaker failed to gain the popularity of other products in the company’s lineup. Unsurprisingly, in the Cupertino giant’s earnings report for Q3 2018, mention of the HomePod was notably absent, and the gadget was lumped into the « Other Products » category which had grown 60% year-over-year.
