Apple Doubles HomePod Market Availability

Apple Doubles HomePod Market Availability

Apple (AAPL) has doubled its HomePod market availability to half a dozen countries, a move that could help it better compete with Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google in the smart speaker industry. The HomePod was previously available in only three countries, and its limited availability, as well as its late release, may have contributed to Apple’s trailing the competition in terms of smart speaker unit sales in the first quarter.
