HomePod occupies 4 percent of smart speaker market as sector growth soars
Interesting! I have a google home (or mini) in every room of my house and all of them are always on. (We use it primarily for music, timers and alarms). That is not to say people with google home always keep it on. Just that these things are subjective and can vary from person to person..maestro64 said:Here is one data point, recently I have been in people's homes who had an Alexa device and they were all unplugged, not bein used.
My wife's family does a family vacation to the beach every couple of years and we rent a large beach house. This years house had an Alexa device, but someone in the family unplugged it and when ask about it everyone just said to leave it unplug. They were not interested in it randomly responding and listen to the "what happens at the beach vacation says at the beach" conversations.
That installed base number I would image will be meaningless, people are buying these things and within a short period of time they seem not to be using them. Installed yes, but useful not at all.
