KGI: Apple could sell just 2 million HomePods across all of 2018, company ‘mulls’ low-cost model

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/homepod-feature.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>A fresh report from Ming-Chi Kuo gives KGI’s take on the recent stories of poor market reception for HomePod (https://9to5mac.com/guides/homepod/). The report suggests that Apple could sell 2-2.5 million HomePods across all of 2018, with a million of those from first month pent-up demand.</p>
<p>Most analysts have predicted sales for HomePod around ten million a year, so Kuo’s prediction is quite pessimistic. He says the high price has cut off a lot of the potential market (in the face of tough, cheaper, competition (https://amzn.to/2Hx26Tx)) and that Apple is ‘mulling’ a lower-cost model.</p>
