    HomePod Using HomePod with iPhone as Live Microphone Speaker

    Is it possible to use an iPhone (or a connected mic-enabled wired headset) as a live microphone with the HomePod amplifying sound? For example, an event that needs room music but also a small PA for people giving short speeches. Can HomePod handle both in some way?

    HomePod Does Homepod podcasts sync with icloud?

    I can't see this being discussed anywhere, do podcasts sync if using icloud? I am wanting to listen to a podcast on my phone and ask the homepod to pick up from where I am on my phone when I get home. Does this work or do I have to connect and airplay it? I am using the apple podcast app.

    I'm currently looking into the HomePod, but one area that I'd be interested to use it for that I can't find an awful lot about is the quality of phone calls done through the HomePod, and I was hoping that some of you who have tried that could share their experience. I know what it technically...

    HomePod What expectations did you have for HomePod?

    I'm curious. A lot of people seem to have had very confusing (to me at least) expectations from this product. What were yours? Were they met. Were they exceeded? Were you disappointed? As far as my experience - I need my music to sound good. My echo device was doing an OK job, but there is no...

    HomePod HomePod prevents Siri from working on other people’s iPhones.

    Last night HomePod in the living room answered my wife twice for Hey Siri. The problem is she was in the bedroom and expected her iPhone to take the request.

    I’m calling it: HomePod Pro, for the prosumer marker who wants professional tools but are not yet earning a living using them. It’s a massive gap in the market there (the market the HomePod just created, successful or not). It would fit right in along with GarageBand, logic, Final Cut Pro etc...
