The release of the Apple HomePod speakers have been delayed until 2018 now. Apple said that they need more time to work on their HomePod. An Apple Spokesperson said that: “We can't wait for people to experience HomePod, Apple's breakthrough wireless speaker for the home, but we need a little more time before it's ready for our customers, We'll start shipping in the US, UK and Australia in early 2018.”

Original Release:

Originally these speakers were set to be released in December this year. Their price was set at $349. Talking about the HomePod taking on capabilities, it is slated to take on some of the high-end sound systems like Sonos and the smart assistants like Amazon Echo as well. They would most probably take on the Google Home as well at the same time.

Features:

Here are some of the features of these HomePod Speakers:

Seven-speaker array of tweeters.
Four inch sub-woofers.
Six-microphone array.

Why the Release was Pushed Back?

No one is certain about the main reason behind the delay of the Apple HomePod. But we all know that Apple has just pulled out the release from the holiday rush, so it is never going to take that thing so lightly. So, let’s see now when these HomePod are actually launched finally in next year.
