Every HomePod & AirTag
Apple’s home hardware: the HomePod smart speakers and the AirTag tracker. Each row lists the chip, a line of headline specs, the starting US price at launch and the year it shipped. These run an Apple-silicon S-series or wireless chip rather than the A- or M-series in Apple’s computers.
Prices are the starting US price at launch and exclude tax. AirPods and other headphones live on the audio page; this one is speakers and trackers.
