Smart AI speakers sold at heavy discounts to make way for Apple HomePod

The much awaited Apple's Siri voice assistance based AI speaker HomePod is all set to launch soon. In order to ensure takers, existing smart speakers were being sold at heavy discounts on Amazon. Google and Amazon heavily discounted their smart speakers during the Christmas break. The Amazon Echo Dot and Google Home Mini were available to the customers for around $29 from $50. And even though this move might have costed them a few dollars per unit, this may point out towards a whole new strategy.
