Did you just pick up Apple's new HomePod (https://mashable.com/category/homepod/) smart speaker? Better pray it doesn't break, because it's expensive AF to repair it.
Apple's (https://mashable.com/category/apple/) published service and repair details for HomePod on its website (https://support.apple.com/homepod/repair/service) and — holy sh*t — it'll cost HomePod owners a whopping $280 to repair or replace the dang thing if they don't have AppleCare+.

For those who are paying attention, that's nearly as much as the HomePod speaker itself, which costs $350.
Like all Apple products, whatever damage your HomePod sustains might be covered under the included warranty. But if it's not, you gotta fork over the money to get it fixed. And if you're going to do that, you might as well just buy a new one.* Read more... (https://mashable.com/2018/02/10/apple-homepod-out-of-warranty-repair-cost-expensive/)
