It isnt all plain sailing though.

This is troubling.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Anything less than first or second position can be viewed as a failure.
Thankfully, the HomePod rangecanbe fixed.
And were just the site to do it.
Improve Siri
Long story short, Siri sucks.
Its problems are manifold, but they can probably be summed up best with the word unreliability.
In many ways, Apples voice assistant seems stuck in the past and uncertain of where to go next.
For the HomePod to thrive, this needs to be addressed.
Of course, improving Siri is easier said than done.
Bad move, Mr. Tim Apple.
In my opinion, the true value of voice assistants comes when theyrecombined with a screen.
And youll end up buying more HomePods.
And making Apple money.
But there is a way to improve this: make every HomePod a wireless extender.
But now it should go a step further and put this connector on the HomePod too.
In other words, Apple should make a portable HomePod.
This means you’re gonna wanna use AirPlay to use the HomePod mini.
Which, in turn, really means you’re gonna wanna use an Apple gadget.
I dont need to tell you what shitty practice that is for an audio-playing equipment.
Apple should allow users an option to enable direct Bluetooth playback, so anyone can connect to the speakers.
And what could be more Apple than that?
A grand opportunity
Ultimately, the HomePod has huge potential.
And thats to say nothing of the audience thatd rightfully devour a new HomePod.
