  • Apple's HomePod isn't about Siri, but rather the future of home audio

    geekvsmachinegeekvsmachine
    The HomePod is about home audio, because it can't be any other way. It's 2017 -- 6 years after Apple launched Siri! -- and it is still terrible.

    After 6 years, Apple has not markedly improved Siri's speech recognition model, breadth of knowledge, or dramatically expanded 3rd party support. The Google Assistant has been out for only a year, and it's better in all of these areas. It's ridiculous. 

    On Apple TV, Siri only gets a query right after several attempts *every time* I use it. I can't imagine buying a HomePod after my experience with Apple TV, because Siri is only way you interact with it.
