HomePod delayed until Early 2018
I had a feeling this would happen when the iPhone X press briefings came and went without a word about HomePod. It’s a tough miss for Apple — there are surely going to be a lot of Amazon Echo devices under Christmas trees this year.
I predicted this 13 days ago on my Twitter. Turns out I’m right.
Not that big of a deal. Apple will make plenty of money this Christmas selling phones, tablets, watches, headphones, and computers.
It’s better to release a product when it’s ready and make a great first impression than to rush something to market.
