    HomePod Homepod ios12 macOS10.14 - What to expect?

    Can we expect some basic functionality that we don't have now? Such as; phone calls, audiobooks, etc. Are there any rumors? There seems to be so many basic functions that siri does on all other devices, but not on Homepod. And I'm talking basic functions that dont need a screen. Also -...

    HomePod Audiobooks

    Is there a way to get the HomePod to play audiobooks I own which I have purchased on the apple store via voice or has it always got to be via airplay. Can't seem to find any voice commands that work for it

    HomePod HomePod Skills?

    Now that I’ve entered the world of “smart speakers”, I’ve started paying attention to what Alexa is offering. While I feel that Alexa has gone overboard with the equivalent of fart apps, I wish there were a collection of SiriKit apps that worked with HomePod. One Alexa skill that stood out to...

    Siri play new music command

    I tried asking Siri on my iPhone to “play new songs I might like” and the results so far has been very disappointing. The other day, it played an entire album from a group I’ve never heard of, and despite saying “I don’t like this album” it kept playing the next song in the album. And today is...

    HomePod HomePod In Canada

    This thread will be an ongoing comprehensive review of HomePod in Canada. I've had my HomePod in Toronto for about a week now and can report that while HomePod setup was seamless, recognizing my Canadian AppleID and Apple Music account with no issue, Canadians looking to import a HomePod should...

    Siri uses US volume measures by default in UK

    So... Trying to convert from litres into pints, and I discover the information Siri provides uses US volume measures, rather than UK (aka Imperial). As an American company, it's not entirely surprising, but this is the kind of non-inclusive behaviour I expect from Micro$haft, not from Apple...

    CarPlay CarPlay Maps Giving Different Results From Iphone Maps

    I realize this is a strange question given that the Iphone is what powers CarPlay, but does anyone else experience different results when using maps in CarPlay versus maps on the Iphone. My CarPlay Maps (via Siri) gives me very different results than my Iphone (via Siri) Maps and it's...

    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 and Siri - inconsistent playback of Playlists

    One oddity I've noticed is that I can ask "Hey Siri play my playlist" Siri says "Which playlist would you like me to play" I then say the name of the playlist. Siri then says "Sure, playing XXXX playlist" - and then usually plays the playlist but sometimes just goes to sleep at that point...

    HomePod How Siri on HomePod Handles Multi-Room Lighting Requests

    Something I just discovered that I'm hoping others can verify. My HomeKit setup includes multiple rooms with multiple lighting devices in each: With an iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch when you say "Hey Siri, turn on the lights" HomeKit turns on all lights With a HomePod when you say "Hey Siri, turn on...

    Home Are Smart Assistants (Siri, Alexa, OK Google) a regional thing?

    I've long been baffled by the amount of people talking about smart assistants online and their uses; people genuinely talking about how they like Amazon stuff better because Alexa is better than Siri, talking about buying one product over the other based largely on the smart assistant or how...

    Using a USB keyboard on an iPhone SE

    Hi everyone - I'll tell you what I have figured out and then where I'm stuck and hope for some help with that final point. My touch screen on my iPhone SE stopped working when dropped from not that great a height (I was bending over to drink from a water fountain). I've heard this is a known...

    C’mon Siri...

    I thought the new updated Siri would be smarter and maybe throw a joke in every once and a while. But darn she still sucks. She is the most stupid AI out there (technically she is just a voice command since AI requires intelligence.) Does Apple just not care? I tried out the google home for a...

    Help! Siri and dictation not working [watchOS 4.2]

    Hi everyone, I got an Apple Watch Series 3 Aluminum (no LTE) a few months ago when it came out. Everything was working fine, no issues but now Siri and Dictation are not working. I hadn't tried to use them in awhile since updating to OS 4.2 I believe so I think that may have been what broke...

    Siri is terrible at her job

    I’ve been using amazon Alexa (with sonos) and have a pretty great experience. When I use Siri it is frustrating and terrible. I think the new update it’s gotten even worst. An example is I’ll use Siri to restart a podcast on my phone and in the past she used to. Now she needs me to unlock my...
