After several weeks of rumors about the possible launch of the HomePod, yesterday it was confirmed through Apple's American website, the launch of the Apple smart speaker. The date chosen by Apple to launch the HomePod is February 9, but as Apple had reported in the presentation of this smart speaker, It will only be available in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.
But from the day after tomorrow, January 26, you can reserve it, as long as you reside in one of these three countries. But it seems that the rest of Europe will not have to wait long, since if you live in France or Germany, this device will arrive in spring. The launch date for Spain and Mexico is still unknown, but it shouldn't take much longer. If you intend to travel to one of these countries, you should bear in mind that at first it will only work in English.

When configuring the HomePod, a process very similar to the one we carry out when we configure a new iPhone or iPad, we must first select the language in which the device will work. As Guilherme Rambo has been able to find out, one of the developers whose popularity has increased thanks to all the functions and images that he discovered in the HomePod firmware, has again been the one who has discovered that the HomePod It can only be used in British English, American English, or Australian English.
In this way, if you are going to be able to use it, for example in Spain or Mexico, as long as you speak to him in English with the corresponding accent to the countries where it will be available initially. That may be one of the main reasons why Apple cannot offer this device globally at its launch, since it will not have pre-programmed languages yet to control it, or it has directly deactivated them so that they cannot be chosen and that the reselling these types of products, begin to harm those people who really want it to enjoy it, not to trade with them. As it arrives in both France and Germany, Apple will unlock these languages so that when configuring the device, it can speak local languages.
