Apple has revealed that it will cost $279 to repair or replace a damaged HomePod if the device is out of warranty.
There's no charge if the issue is covered under warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law. If your issue isn't covered, you'll pay an out-of-warranty service fee.
The HomePod, which was released today, costs $349. If you require shipping for your HomePod repair that's an additional $19.95 fee and it brings the total to $298.95, nearly the cost of a new device.
You can learn more about HomePod service options, warranty, and pricing at the link below.
Whoa... such crazy pricing for a repair, or a replacement. I've never minded smart speakers at all, and the HomePod makes no difference to me. I know for a fact that Apple's warranties are the best, but this is ridiculous...
So does that mean it’s not a repair they just replace it? I can’t see any other reason it would be almost as much as a new one(anyone who has had an out of warranty Apple Watch replaced and paid can tell you this)
i have almost alllllllll premium apple products... but this... is a boomer!
get a sonos play 5 and a google home or any echo dot.... then you have a premium solution.... this is just a glance of what this supposed to be. Steve Jobs rest in piece, you don't deserve to see this
