Apple’s HomePod features:

Siri used to control HomePod:
Siri can be accessed with HomePod by giving voice commands. But on HomePod Siri is also a musicologist rather than just a virtual assistant that will help you in finding new tunes at Apple music. Apples HomePod is controlled by using Siri. It is a voice activated personal assistant which according to Apple is well trained to answer questions about music like “hey Siri, who is playing drum in this song?” and “who is playing guitar in this song?” Not only can you ask questions to Siri but instead these Siri speakers also mark your favorites and remember your choices. This is another notable feature of Apple HomePod.

Despite of the fact that competitors’ products are working well in the market, apple has launched the HomePod smart speakers on the ground that as usual they are delivering the exceptional audio experience than the competitors. Apple is also targeting Sonos which signals that the audio quality of HomePod is better than what we get from Google and Amazon. Apples’ HomePod price will be expensive than Google Home and Amazon Echo but cheaper than Sonos Play 5.
