HomePod reduced to $299


9 to 5 Mac:

Apple has officially lowered the price of the HomePod worldwide. In the price has fallen from $349 to $299, breaking the $300 level. HomePod has seen promotional discounts at many third party retailers (eg: it’s $279 right now at Best Buy) over its lifespan, but now Apple has dropped the smart speaker’s standard list price.

There seems to be a lot of growth potential with the HomePod, but with people buying their first smart speaker and also those looking to add-on to existing HomePods.

We enjoy ours have thought about adding on additional speakers. I'm still unease about hosting an always-listening device in the home, but given the options on the market, Apple's product seems the least intrusive and most secure.
