Foreign media: Apple HomePod has obtained US FCC certification
On the morning of January 21, according to reports from international media, Apple's HomePod has received FCC certification in the United States. This major milestone indicates that the product is now cleared for sale and could be available to consumers at any time soon.
HomePod was one of the most surprising announcements at Apple’s fall event last year. It represents a key component in Apple’s broader strategy for smart home integration. With HomePod, users can not only play music from their iPhone or other devices but also control various HomeKit-enabled smart home products simply by using voice commands with Siri. This makes it more than just a Speaker — it's a central hub for managing a connected living space.
Originally expected to ship in December 2017, the HomePod faced several development challenges that led to a significant delay. Instead of launching in late 2017, the product was pushed back to early 2018 — though some reports suggested even later release dates. Now, with FCC approval, the wait may finally be over.
The FCC certification also signals that the HomePod is officially set to meet its users. The first countries to receive the product will be the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. These regions are typically among the first to get new Apple products, especially those with high demand and strong market presence.
According to sources in the tech industry, suppliers have already started shipping the first batch of HomePod units to Apple. It's reported that Apple will receive around one million units initially, which suggests that the company is preparing for a large-scale launch.
Of course, Chinese consumers may have to wait a bit longer. While Apple often rolls out products globally, there are usually delays for certain regions due to regulatory approvals, logistics, and local market strategies. But for now, fans in the U.S., U.K., and Canada can look forward to experiencing the HomePod firsthand.
