I don’t foresee myself getting one either. I think they’re a little late in the game trying to jump on the bandwaggon now. It’s all good though. > On Jan 28, 2018, at 7:59 AM, Saqib Hussain wrote: > > Hi. I have invested heavily in the Amazon Echo system so I won’t be getting > this HomePod

Hi. I have invested heavily in the Amazon Echo system so I won’t be getting this HomePod and I don’t rate Siri as Alexa is far more intelligent than Siri and actually responds allot better. I manage to get the standard echo, Echo Show and the Echo Dot all during the Black Friday and Christmas pe

What I'd like to know is, does this speaker work like a normal speaker as I don't want Apple Music. I do have I Cloud Match though. I am not a fan of Amazon Echo either. If anyone gets this speaker, please let us know what you think especially if Air Play works well. I love Airplay. Kawal. >

Apple could sell some people anything. I just feel like they could have done better with this. Not only did they come late to the party, they didn't even give it they're all. On 1/27/18, Simon Fogarty wrote: > $500 in austrailia and not even available here in nz. > > Think I'd go for the amazon

Thanks for sharing this. I'm personally excited for this, which doesn't seem to be the case for everyone at this moment in time, understandably because of rivalries like the Echo or Sonos One. While I have an Echo dot, I am really looking forward to the somewhat major upgrade to my set up. I mig
