APPLE devices are rarely at a discount, so price-drops are worth making the most of.
And with a new offer available at AO.com, you can save 29 per cent on HomePods.
The HomePod is Apple’s own take on the popular smart speaker devices.
And alongside Google’s Home range and Amazon’s Echos the HomePods are key competitors.
In typical Apple style, HomePods look chic. They’re also high-tech and cost a premium.
So if you’ve been waiting for the right time, saving £80 is the best deal we’ve seen in couple of months.

Both the White and Space Grey models are available at the new price.
And AO is offering delivery in two working days, depending on postcode.
The HomePod is really a smart speaker for Apple fans, and those committed to using iPhones, iPads and Macs.
The device is primed to connect to other Apple devices, and features Apple’s Siri voice-assistant.
That does mean that if you have an Amazon Echo or Google Home device, the HomePod isn’t for you.
But for iPhone users yet to commit to a smart speaker the HomePod is the natural choice.
Once setup Siri can answer questions, set reminders and provide the latest news and information.
And you can easily stream podcasts and music to the HomePod from other Apple devices.
But unlike other smart speakers, HomePods feature ‘beamforming’. This means the speaker can sense how close it is to its surroundings to deliver the best possible audio.
Delivered through seven ‘horn-loaded tweeters’ and each with its own amplifier, the HomePod includes plenty of fancy tech.
That includes a six-microphone array to help pick up commands from across the room.
HomePods look the part, and deliver the quality expected of Apple devices.
So the opportunity for a decent saving isn’t one to be passed up if you’re in the market.
