When we are talking about rumors about the possible arrival of a new Apple product, it is possible that this product cannot be purchased in some countries of the world. The clearest case is Apple's HomePod, which while we are talking here about its possible substitute or cheaper product in India, it just does a few hours that is available. It may sound strange but that happens in many places and even here, the example is in Apple services such as Apple News or Apple Cash.
But let's put aside what happens to us to focus on that after officially announcing that the HomePod would officially arrive in India by the end of January, a few hours ago Apple's smart speaker went on sale in Apple's website for the country. These online stores are not active for Apple, so by clicking on them users who buy the HomePod will be redirected to local stores and "signature" sellers who do have authorization to do so.
The price of the HomePods there is lower than usual, it would be approximately $ 263 but of course the purchasing power there is rather low. It seems that that software update 13.3.1 that we saw last January in the HomePods in which they were added Siri voices in Indian EnglishToday we know what they were for. In principle, the Cupertino company had planned to sell the smart speaker in the country before, but with the coronavirus pandemic it seems that it was impossible, now it is on sale for those who want to buy it.
