Rumor: Apple working on cheaper HomePod for launch this year
I love my homepods and think they are priced correctly for a premium speaker considering just a few months ago standard bluetooth speakers with no voice commands were selling in the range of $250-$300. Having a smaller version of the homepod for basic homekit commands would be a great idea for those who want the security of Apple in their home vs it competitors. -

Apple's HomePod gets FCC approval, hinting at upcoming launch

Missing December allowed products by Amazon and Google to gain a critical foothold in the smartspeaker market. Apple is prioritizing audio quality over voice functions though, which could help justify the HomePod's $349 pricetag.
I seem to remember when HomePod was first announced there was talk of Siri having a limited functionality on it, like it would only support some music and HomeKit commands. But on apple.com it says this on the HomePod page:
”Because it has Siri, HomePod can hear and answer questions in the most popular categories. Timers. Clocks. Measurements. Translations. News. Sports. Weather. Traffic. And general knowledge. It’s great at the things you want to know, and do, in your home.”
That doesn’t seem as limited as we were led to believe. Or am I missing something?
(I suppose the limitations could be in the form of no personal stuff, like setting reminders and no functions it won’t support like making phone calls) -
