Abstract: Now that the initial hype and excitement about HomePod is behind us and we're over the “OMG it's shiny and new” phase, we can take a serious and real world look at Apple's entry into the smart speaker market. The first wave of reviews, after a week or eve...
Abstract: The HomePod's physical design is relatively similar to smart speakers, but it's a significant departure from Apple's other products. Where MacBooks, iOS devices, and the Apple TV are clad in aluminum, glass, and gloss plastic, the HomePod is almost entire...

In a way, the HomePod is a remarkably pure machine: it's meant to make your music sound great, and that's about it. Viewed purely through that lens, the HomePod is a fantastic first attempt and one that delivers on its promise. Taken as a whole, though, t...
Incredible power, rich audio quality, Ability to adapt its tuning based on acoustics analysis, Chic, modern design
Pricey at $350, Lack of music services integration beyond Apple Music (though you can use AirPlay to stream Spotify, Pandora, etc.), Siri isn't as intelligent as other voiceassistant services, Only compatible with iOS devices
Smart speakers have been growing in popularity not only thanks to their functionality and intuitive integration in a smart home environment, but also with their reasonable pricing. Most of the popular ones, like the Amazon Echo and Google Home, have alrea...
Abstract: HomePod will eventually have multi-HomePod support, but at launch we're still working with them individually. That is, unless you have AirFoil. It's a simple program that lets you stream audio from your Mac or PC to any AirPlay or Bluetooth speaker. It's...
