Do you think you we’re going to see third-party power cords now that the cable is removable? An option to buy, say, a 3-meter power cord, would be a huge reason for me to consider it. Maybe we can use this thread to post any links to them.
Someone has posted a twitter photo that any figure 8 power cable works with the new HomePod so I see no reason you couldn’t just use a generic longer cable!
