The Apple HomePod price is set at Â£349 in the UK and $349 in the USA. For comparison, hereâs how much rival speakers cost in the UK: The problem is that the Apple HomePod is going to cost significantly more â over double, in fact â than its two closest rivals.
For those wondering whether they should buy Apple's new thing -- pre-orders are set for Friday -- here's a look at how the HomePod stacks up. Price: By setting the price of the HomePod at $350, Apple appears to be hoping consumers will see it as a premium device. For that reason, the HomePod is probably more comparable to the $400 Google Home Max, which is Google's most expensive smart speaker, than cheaper versions that go for $130. The HomePod also is far more expensive than Amazon's highest-end Echo speaker, the $150 Echo Plus, which is more focused on smart home setup than audio. Amazon's main Echo device costs $100.
