If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on Apple’s HomePod, the big day has finally arrived.

Apple has only said HomePod will be available on Friday, January 26, but it generally opens up pre-orders at midnight Pacific time.

It is launching in the U.S., U.K., and Australia, so be sure to check the appropriate time in your neck of the woods.
