Apple’s HomePod isn’t officially available until tomorrow, but already the shipping dates in the US online Apple Store have slipped to next week, and HomePod in-store pick-ups are no longer available, writes MacRumors. The situation is the same in the UK and Australia.
However, don’t worry if you were planning to pick up a HomePod on launch day, as MacRumors says that Best Buy in the US currently has HomePods available to pick up in-store tomorrow, and other retailers in the UK such as Argos, EE, and Currys PC World also still have stock available to pick up tomorrow. And according to the John Lewis website, it also has plenty of stock.
Meanwhile, MacRumors also reports that people who pre-ordered their HomePods have today received shipment notifications from Apple that their HomePods are about to be delivered. In the US, Apple is dispatching the HomePods via Next Day Air delivery to be shipped out via local hubs, complete with tracking information.
