In the last quarter, the guys from Cupertino have seen how the sales of all their products, not exclusively the iPhone, have been reduced in the company's main market: China, a market that in recent months is showing signs of exhaustion and where Huawei and Vivo are the kings of telephony.
The HomePod, with which Apple makes the second bet on the world of speakers, continues being available in a very small number of countries compared to all countries where it currently has a physical presence. China is the second country with the most Apple Stores spread across the country, however the HomePod is not yet available.
Fortunately for Chinese users, there is already an official announced date for the HomePod launch. Will be on January 18 when the Cupertino guys officially launch the HomePod across the country. In addition to China, it will also be available in Hong Kong.
The HomePod is compatible with AirPlay 2, which allows all Apple device users to send different content to devices compatible with this technology, so that we can play one type of music in one area of the house and another type of music in the rest, all from a only device, such as the iPhone.
Currently, HomePod is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, and Spain, it is compatible from iPhone 5s, iPad Pro, iPad Air onwards, iPad Mini 2 and the XNUMXth generation iPod.
For more than a month, Amazon Echo users can enjoy Apple Music through Amazon's smart speakers, a move that will probably subtract the occasional sale to HomePods in countries where Amazon has a presence, not being one of them China.
