Apple HomePod First Look

Apple’s HomePod will arrive in just a few weeks, and we just spent an hour listening to what it’s capable of.

Maybe change title to 'first listen' instead of 'first look' because we have already seen all those promo's...

[mdoman]

production quality soooo high. really appreciate you guys still pushing the quality of these videos

[ccunningham]

Can you change the privacy settings on individual devices? Example: Allow homepod to read my messages at home but not a homepod at work.

I'm a huge Apple fan. I don't understand with all the cash Apple has in the bank why they can't make Siri one of the top assistants

[tomastran]

Hi, is it possible to connect more than 1 device? Thx

[tophat]

No comment about how it stacks up with the Google home max...

[arnaudieguez]

hey! What camera are you recording with??

[onode]

Don't compare a $350 device to a cheapo echo. Compare it to the Google home max

[girlzaloud]

I have iTunes Match could I listen to my music from that directly on the home pod or do you have to have Apple Music?

[igku]

Dares not to mention Google's Home Max in this video. Which says a lot.

[oneloveonebeing]

great preview, very balanced, will be back

[elvisflees]

Where is the speaker. Only old promo shots. Click bait

[shabalabadingdong]

This is not suppose to be compared to the smaller models it’s suppose to go up against something like google max, which if I may say is more expensive than the HomePod.

[fridayapple]

Not a single shot of the speaker. Clickbait !

[Ryan-dprs]

It was only a matter of time until Apple jumped on the whole smart speaker thing...

But seriously...
NO

[Juuggy]

Everyone's arguing about the HomePod/Home Max...meanwhile im chilling with the JBL Google Assistant speaker

[lmorris]

I like the video but my only complaint is that you really should compare apples to apples Google max versus HomePod and not apples to oranges HomePod in Amazon echo

[ssmufc]

Alexa is awful, Siri is by far a superior assistant. But the main point is the speaker, this thing is quality!

[richardclark]

Is it better than the Google Home Max?

[brettawood]

doesn't work with Pandora? if it did i'd buy it.
