Why Apple’s Smart Speakers Are Doing Better than Feared
Apple’s (AAPL) foray into smart speakers through the $349 HomePad had, reportedly, seen a weak response since its launch earlier this year. According to estimates in the latest report by Strategy Analytics, Apple shipped 600,000 HomePods in the quarter. Meanwhile, Amazon (AMZN) sold 4 million smart speakers globally while Alphabet’s (GOOG) Google shipped 2.4 million.
