HomePod Now Available for Purchase in China and Hong Kong

Im sure it will be huge hit, just like the iphone XS, XR.

 

I am in Hong Kong and I thought this is the new HomePod 2 or the HomePod mini.

 

Apple can’t update their popular products in 5 years so don’t hold your breath for a HomePod 2 in the next decade.

 

And for CNY Apple will be releasing a red version ...LOL

 

Nearly $3000?! Smfh!

 

Seems like iPhones and iPads and Apple Watches are getting all kinds of updates.

 

About $360 USD, not that much difference.

 

yes it's the same as it is in HK$.
and there is no sales tax in HK

 

You forgot to mention the other hits that Apple have had... there's a reason why you registered here .

 

Wasn't it about $250 in the US? Unfortunately Amazon does not sell it so I couldn't buy it there and have it shipped to Hong Kong. The listed price HK$2,799 is about $360. Not good.

 

For that price maybe Apple should build suicide nets all over China, unbelievable!

 

Would genuinely buy, it'd go nicely with my red Libratone Zipp Mini...

 

Sounds like people from China might go to HK to buy it instead.

 

Isn't the power cable integrated?

 

“Had” being the operative term here. It’s been a bad 12 months for Apple, the only bright spot being the Series 4, and even that is overpriced.

 

exactly this is the situation in recently years. but iphone selling price in china has been dropping too.

 

Toys are easier.

 

Doubt there is any pent up demand in either HK or the Mainland for the HomePod.
It's been available in both locations in sufficient volumes since +-1 week after release in the States.

If anything, pricing has gone up since its been 'officially' released.

 

Got a ~USD22 discount from my staff card... And I'm eating my words, this thing is worth it for the sound quality alone. Also, it has virtually zero competition here in Hong Kong, since Alexa never speaks my language.
