The Apple HomePod is widely considered one of the best smart speakers available on the market. Although it may seem pricey at $299, Verizon is currently offering an exceptional deal that provides customers with a free Apple HomePod. For a limited time, individuals can subscribe to Verizon's 5G Home Plus Internet for just $45 per month and choose between receiving a complimentary Apple HomePod or a $200 Verizon gift card. This promotion ranks among the best Verizon 5G Home Plus deals on offer.

In our review of the Apple HomePod 2, we praised its impressive sound quality, which is on par with that of the Sonos One. Furthermore, it seamlessly integrates with Apple's ecosystem, including devices such as the Apple TV 4K. The new HomePod also supports Matter, an emerging smart home standard that simplifies the process of connecting multiple devices. This is particularly significant for Apple, as their smart home platform, HomeKit, is compatible with fewer devices compared to competitors like Alexa and Google Home. (If you're interested, we've compiled a list of the best HomeKit devices.)

Verizon's 5G Home Plus Internet, when paired with one of the top cable TV alternatives, represents an excellent opportunity to save money while eliminating the need for traditional cable services. This internet package operates on Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network, which is their most advanced 5G network and utilizes high-band mmWave and mid-band C-band spectrum to ensure optimal performance and the fastest 5G experience. The 5G Home Plus Internet plan does not require long-term contracts and offers transparent pricing that is guaranteed for two to three years based on your chosen plan. Additionally, Verizon is willing to contribute up to $500 towards switching or early termination fees. However, it is worth noting that certain eligibility criteria must be met in order to qualify for these benefits. Firstly, you must reside in an eligible area and be subscribed to one of Verizon's unlimited 5G data plans with Auto Pay enabled. Eligible plans include 5G Do More, 5G Play More, 5G Get More, and One Unlimited for iPhone. Verizon also provides a slightly cheaper 5G Home Plan priced at $25 per month, although this particular plan does not include any complimentary extras.
