It was perhaps the most negative news of the past quarter in the Apple offices. HomePod lag of the brand, that couldn't make it in time for christmas, one of the best sales moments of the Californian company worldwide, due to problems in the production chain of the device, may already have a launch date.
At least that's what some analysts of GBH, who estimate that the technology company will finally bring the product to market in about 4-6 weeks. As we know, Apple promised the new product in early 2018, and according to these estimates it could arrive in the next month of February.
Some experts even say that it could coincide with the massive congress MWC (Mobile World Congress), held in Barcelona) of this year 2018. Therefore, and taking advantage of the delay suffered, Apple would try to get the attention of consumers in one of the most anticipated congresses in the technological ecosystem.
Hopefully, if the predictions made by these respected analysts are true, that Apple launches the new HomePod as soon as possible and we can enjoy everything they promise.
Furthermore, this prediction ensures that Apple will not have it easy at all to succeed with this new line of devices. According to the analysts of GBH, there are many speakers with similar features to the HomePod on the market today. Unlike the Airpods, which have revolutionized the market, perhaps Apple is late with its new device.
As a trump card, Apple offers unrivaled sound quality, but we will see if this is enough to convince the consumer. Amazon, Google or Microsoft They have already released their products and, for now, they meet the expectations set.
For now, this new market niche is a mystery, but there are many homes still without speakers of this type, and surely as the market strengthens, demand will increase.
