HomePod Repairs Cost Almost as Much as a New HomePod (theverge.com)

This may not come as a huge surprise, but it's going to be pricey if you break Apple's fully sealed and densely packed new speaker. From a report: Repair pricing for the HomePod was posted to Apple's website this week, and the number is high enough that it's clear you should invest in a warranty if you're worried about breaking one: an out-of-warranty repair from Apple will cost $279 in the US, which is 80 percent of the price of a brand-new HomePod. So you're not so much repairing it as getting a small discount on a new one.

Bullshit. They fix it at a cost of $30-$50 and send you a bill for $279. This is the business plan that has made them the richest company on planet Earth.
