skipper said: One correction. You can't set up the HomePod with ANY iPhone. You must be using an iPhone or iPad that uses the same AppleID as the Home in HomeKit. This is a major gotcha Imagine that a wife buys a HomePod for her kitchen bu…

foregoneconclusion said: Just an FYI: "potty-o" is actually more correct for pronunciation of "patio" than "patty-o". dictionary.com suggests that's not so. The 'a' sound is similar to the a sound in "dad." The pronunciation guidance in…
