    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.

    HomePod How suitable is the HomePod for phone calls?

    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. Homepod is on my Apple ID account, so she didn’t want it to handle her request. After a minute or so, her iPhone responded twice to the...

    HomePod HomePod Pro

    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...

    HomePod Can confirm US Homepod works in Canada!

    Picked up the homepod in Buffalo today... I live near Toronto. Setup was easy, works with my Canadian apple ID. It sounds great at lower volumes but the bass doesn't keep up with the highs at higher volumes. Kind of a bummer. Really nice deep bass at under 3/4 volume though. [Total rant] I...
