Apple HomePod DON'T BUY IT!!!

- My experience with Apple HomePod compared to Google Home Max or even Amazon Echo has been a big miss. Siri is just stupid, there's very limited features and you're stuck using Apple Music.
In this video I even do a Homepod vs Amazon Echo Vs Google Home so you can see the good the bad and the ugly. Simply put Apple HomePod isn't ready for prime time and you're better off getting a Sonos system instead.

![FendiDa Rappa - Clock Dat ft. Shamar Marco [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3NBU8KHdxYY/mqdefault.jpg)
Sorry for my voice, been sick for a few days so voice is shot! As always share if you enjoyed the video!
I HATE YOU I AM SORRY FOR BEING RUDE BUT YOU HATE SO MUSH STUFF GET MORE APPLE NOT ET PISSED A THEM
XD this is the only video that said "hey google" that I watched that actually activated my google mini on the other side of the room not to mention it knew exactly what you said.
Question : Did you specify which version of the song you wanted to hear? I found the song on Itunes; Sorry for party Rockin (Nash and Silcox remix). As such, I requested the song (via my phone through Siri ) just as you said with out indicating the version or remix and got the version you heard on Alexa.
Somebody is salty. Dude, the HomePod awesome and will only get better with time.
Armando Ferreira you can play anything on HomePod from youtube to spotify i just did it right now! Idk what your talking about tbh. You just press the AirPlay button and chose homepod and its done.
Idk why everyone thinks this is a good review when he’s wrong on so many things... AirPlay works with RUclips and Spotify...
You’re correct!
@Stinkytofu oh shut it.
@Stinkytofu nigga shut up pussy
AirPlay is a bullshit solution if I just want to say "Hey Siri, play X"
You started my Google home playing sorry for party rocking lol
Sorry, I hope you rocked out!
I lost count of the amount of times you set off my Google home mini
Neil Moulang lol me too
maybe turn on voice recognition? my phone turned on but stayed locked cuz it wasnt my voice
Mr. Turtle voice recognition is for personal things like setting a calendar event.
My max went off a few times too hah
Diamond Creeper Gaming it really isn't. Like I said my phone stayed locked and said Voice not Recognized.
Here's a fix for your the LMFAO command! Try "Hey Siri...play the song "Sorry for Party Rocking"! That should work. What I found out is that the LMFAO's album is also named "Sorry For Party Rocking". So what you're hearing is the first track on the album. I hope it helped.
Sorry to hear he had such a hard time with the HomePod. I’m loving mine, AMAZING SOUND!!!
Thanks Mando for the honest straight to the point recommendation. As always salute.
Its actually a bit of an uninformed video.
1. He conveniently doesn’t mention what caused the device not to pair. I bet you it was an I.D10.T issue.
2. He doesn’t know he can use spotify and youtube podcasts via airplay.
3. It is for Apple users. Hence only airplay and not open standard bluetooth.
4. Yes the pod doesnt have voice recognition - valid argument, but he doesn’t seem to know you can enable or disable messaging and calling via your iphone.
if you would have said "play the song sorry for party rocking" it would have worked. HomePod assumed you wanted to listen to the album which is also titled "sorry for party rocking"
Dude that’s the sorry for party rocking album, that was the intro track, sorry for party rocking is track 2.... you really don’t know your stuff if you can’t identify that and you hear her say album when she plays it...
Yea very true and he just reduced volume while Siri speaks album name..
He had to put the volume down..apple sucks
Ryan Stevenson the whole point is, the home pod not as "smart" as google home or Alexa....did he say play the album?....No he did not home pod is trash just like almost all apple products.
Patrick Bennett GURL YOU THINK OF SOMETHING BETTER, I don’t know who you are
I was going to say when i told HomePod to play the song.. i told it song and artist.. .he just told it to play the album..
Being not connected via Bluetooth, that's a good thing, I'm a developer, I can get access to your home in a minute or two with Google home and Alexa, but I can't or atleast be very critical to do with homepod. Yes, there are bugs, but think of security it provides 👍🏼
Am impressed about this video, this is one of the very few videos where honesty in Number 1 and being very wide view information about the product. Not just the specification, but the experience that comes with.
I would say Armando, thanks for the video
What about airplay?
You can still airplay your music from something like RUclips
Source the Sauce his point is he want to use Bluetooth and not only closed to iOS.
Source the Sauce then don’t buy the HomePod, it’s a choice
Windows and android can do airplay...
Laaaaaaame
No chance!
Apple likes the trash can look
Brian Cabrera true
It's so you can easily fit it in the trash can when you get pissed off with it, forward thinking from Apple.
lol
Don't show this video to Jonathan Morrison or iJustine.
1) HomePod doesn’t have a W1 chip as you suggested. 2) Setup is relatively quick - less than 2min for most. You didn’t disclose the fix. My guess is Apple Music wasn’t installed, which is required for setup. That strikes me as something worth including 3) You mentioned not being able to play indie songs, or music from other services. This is not accurate. Any audio you can play AirPlay (ie from Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod) will play - this includes any media files, streaming services.
Was waiting to hear the fault... Hmmm
Agreed, seems like user error. What's the fix for the two hour support line hold?
Why would you need a "smart speaker" if you need an iphone or mac to stream via Airplay? You don't need any of that with Alexa or OkGoogle
RythmBoy better quality than any of the Google rubbish that's why... Everything now works better with an update
vibzz69 so thats your response? "Better quality" whilst at the same time saying the others are rubbish. Sounds like a salty comment lol. 😆 if you need airplay then it's not a smart speaker is it? Lol
Remember how apple airplay works, you can pretty much play anything on the Homepod that comes from your iPhone or even iPad. So it is incorrect that you said only apple music can be played on it. Now via Siri, Siri will only search in apple music. Now if you want to listen to that LMFAO song on spotify on it from your phone you can but its a manual process on your phone you cant ask Siri. You should say this in your review to be completely honest and not discourage people who may not know how apple airplay works.
Eddie Casanova I guess you didn’t even watch the whole video. He mentioned AirPlay. His whole point was why HomePod users even have to bother themselves to set up something unnecessary. If you wanna simply listen some music at your home, I personally think he is right, you can buy Bluetooth speakers which are much cheaper but better sound quality. Still it’s your money I don’t care what you buy. But as a professional reviewer, he just gives a good guide to many future buyer of smart speakers, especially HomePod. People buy HomePod not because they use it for a just speaker. They buy it because Apple says it is “smart” speaker. So I think HomePod should be more smarter and accesible.
You dont have to set up airplay. It just works quicker than Bluetooth.
Bluetooth is dead
Best thumbnail ever!
You are easily entertained.
When he said, “Play Sorry for Party Rocking” the home pod understood it as playing the album, not the song. What actually played was the first song of the album. I understand his other points, but that one was just sloppy and poorly investigated.
Nope because that wasn't my point, it was about licensing. I've requested many songs which are alternate because Apple Music doesn't have the rights. Perhaps that might have been a bad example but that wasn't my point as I clearly stated in my video.
Armando Ferreira, I appreciate the reply! Yeah, I think it was just that example that threw me off. I’m sure there’s some more instances of when Apple’s licensing does not cover the entire collection of music out there. Btw, Not defending Apple by any means, like you said, the HomePod is half-baked product, not worth the $350 for a product that will EVENTUALLY be what it’s supposed to be.
I really enjoy your honesty, if a product deserves to be roasted, let it be roasted for reasons that matter, not bs anti-apple propaganda. You’re video convinced me that you do your best to show your argument, and that you’re committed to defend and concede if necessary. Definitely worth a subscription. Keep doing you Armando!!
Great assessment of how unevenly this product seems to be integrated compared to Apple Carplay, etc.
I join the upvoters for this video. Armando's review is both exceptionally intuitive and informed, he is very helpful. This is a real-world review demonstrating how I would want to use these products.
Very good arguments. One of the few tech RUclipsrs not biased. You used to be more of a android fan boy but now you're more fair IMO. I have the sonos one and I love it. I hate that Apple closed ecosystem.
Aswin Adirono do you not know Armando’s history? Lol.
@@joeysol1 what’s his history? This is my first time watchin the guy.
@@keychaful he’s always been anti apple and pro android
You can play RUclips videos (podcasts) on there just by clicking the airplay button on the bottom right and choosing the HomePod.
Very misleading that this isn’t mentioned. It’s the same thing as streaming Bluetooth functionality-wise.
Also you can play your local songs using AirPlay, also Spotify, Google Music and pretty much everything you can play on your iPhone. AirPlay
Also. YOU CAN MAKE PHONE CALLS WITH THE SPEAKER WTF DUDE? Does this dude just hate on Apple without checking everything?
Gogo8mkd ikr lol
Looks like a way to recycle unsold Mac Pro chassis
Props! Really difficult to find an honest review nowadays. Very thorough. You're like the 5th HomePod review I've seen and the only to get in depth about the issues.
Dumb. First 3 minutes is ranting about being on hold, can't figure it out, then cuts to "I finally got it figured out." Why? How? Switched off to write this at that point. Why go any further?
If you weren’t impressed with the Home pod send it to me.😊
Hahahaha
Fuck off dumb sheep
If he sent it to you then he would have to send it to everyone, also it’s very expensive and something he may want to keep for a while.
... or send it to me, I only have 2 Homepods :)
Slinger woah there buddy
we need more Armando in the world :)
It technically did play sorry for party rocking, as it was a song the same name as the album. Still poor by apple but I can see how it was confused easily.
Apple: We removed the headphone jack because bluetooth is the future
Apple 2018: we removed bluetooth because......um....we removed bluetooth!
Haha sick thumbnail and thank you for your honesty good sir.
You didn't know about lack of compatibility with Android?
Krzysiek Borek he stated you can't even use it without another Apple product.
Krzysiek Borek lol, too bad your so lockdd into the stupid apple ecosystem
Krzysiek Borek---It struck me as amazing that he didn't know about lack of Android compatibility. I watch an occasional video and I knew that. This guy has almost 300 k subs and he didn't know? I call bullshit on him. I hate these idiots who have to fake up controversy.
aDumbnamedUser yeah it’s sucks when everything works together.
You triggered all my devices!
Same
Same... I was confused for a second and then was like oh rip
Same my google was going off and I got scared
PENNYWISE THE KILLER CLOWN very funny I got more devices than you do and I'm not poor you just sad because you are poor
You Just turned off your RUclips video over my Google home :) "Google stop"
Loved the video Armando! Totally get what you’re saying
Armando Ferreira You got a new sub. I do have some things to point out. One, when you were clicking on the top of HomePod you accidentally clicked the top button (Siri button). It’s touchscreen and when you clicked it instead of volume up it automatically plays whatever music is cued up. That’s why it didn’t play the right song. I do think they should change that but you did technically miss hit it. Also you can use airplay to stream from RUclips or Spotify or whatever music.
Despite those disagreements I agree with you. It’s limiting and should have more features and should be rolled out with all the features we expect including dual HomePod support. I would like to say please read my prior disagreements and give it another shot. I think it would help out and give you more of an appreciation for HomePod.
Also, I know why you had that error as I had it as well. It is an issue due to iCloud Keychain which is why none of your devices worked. To fix this you need to clear out your iCloud Keychain on a Mac by opening keychain access and clearing out the Keychain. Or by using an older phone that does not store iCloud Keychain in the same manner since it doesn’t have the same software. This is not an excuse for that not working by the way and it frustrated me to no end to figure out how to fix it. I took it upon myself to fix the issue.
Also I would love to start my own channel and would like advise from you as you seem to really cast a great image in the tech reviewing industry.
About the music thing, Siri has major difficulties with distinguishing the name of a song from the album name. He is also correct about Apple Music having different versions and Siri never asks you which version you want to hear. The entire Music domain in general is hit-and-miss. These issues have been known for years, yet they are not being fixed for whatever reason.
you can cast any sound from your apple devices. RUclips, Spotify, Safari, etc. Even from your MacBook.
Overpriced marshmallow.
PHANPHOTO1 🤣💯nailed it.
If you haven't tried yet, Go into the Google Home app, into the Smart Home Control section, and see what all your lights are named. Hector back there might not be recognized as "Hector" in the Home app, but rather something along the lines of "Hue 4". That was a problem for me but after a bit of digging in the Google Home app I got it all worked out.
I've tried everything, funny thing is that it use to work before and just one day it stopped working and NEVER was able to get it to work. I've uninstalled the app and deauthorize it and done everything with 0 luck.
Armando Ferreira Hm. Every once in a while, my Home Mini won't control anything at all, and un-pairing and re-pairing or unplugging it and plugging it back in tends to work, but I think that you've already done that to move the Home into the shot, so I dunno what's going on there
You set off my Google Home twice with this Sorry For Party Rock :) and now I am sitting in the dark which responds fast for me .... Your Google home seems to responds really slow to mine as I have two Google Home Mini's .... May be your wireless router ? The reason why I left Apple because their only Play My Music garbage and I love to customize and add memory to my phone why pay $100's more to get extra space... Apple is a good product but lately they been sitting back watching other companies release their products and if it flops they don't move on it but if it suceeds they will move and improve it but they really were late with their Home Pod as I thought Google was late to get out the door as Amazon was out for ages before Google.. Thanks for the honest review as some Apply Fanboys will be upset but it's honest :) and next time whisper Hey Google.... LOL
Dude, my RUclips is basically all tech. Don’t know why I haven’t seen you before, but I. Am. Sold. You sir, have a a very impressed, new subscriber. :)
Why.....oh why would anyone but something with such a closed system?!?! Apple only? Apple music only? No Bluetooth? High price tag? Jeesh.....what a piece of garbage.....
The homepod played THE ALBUM SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKING by LMFAO instead of THE SONG by LMFAO. You have to be specific to Siri. She did not do anything wrong.
Striker900 if he has to be any more specific than he was to play the song then it IS an issue with Siri.
TheOneTheyCallEemeen Um no that’s wrong i would rather have siri play the album i say not only the song that has the same name of the album and if i want only the song i can be specific and literally just say the word “song” followed by the name lol
Sounds like you didn't do your research before purchasing the Home Pod. You are just some random dude who did not identify your own ecosystem and your current techs, then decided to purchase a Home Pod just to realise it doesn't fit well amongst your devices, then blame Home Pod for not being able to meet your requirements. Is like you purchasing a tractor when you don't know if you could operate it or even have a place to store it. Then blame the tractor for not meeting your needs and tell everyone, don't buy this tractor. So don't blame the Home Pod for not meeting your demands. A good buyer would first identify what is his/ her current devices, identify his/ her needs, then proceed to decide if he/she should buy a HomePod, not buy a Home Pod and tell the word: oh is crap because it does not fit into my individual lifestyle or my current devices. Is so bias and not representative of its actual use.
Edward V shut up! He makes a valid point.
@@leonmarcuscherry5118 Edward V makes a good point too
Well the point of this i guess is to share the information to those who assume that the product will perform like echo or amazon home. There are folks out there who love apple products so much that they buy it without researching and find out its limitations the hard way just like the reviewer. That's what this video is for. For those who use youtube for product purchase decisions. This video helps those apple lovers decide. You should know that there are many people who don't know about this type of technology enough to decide. I know people who have no idea how the echo works unless they get educated on it. Not sure why people don't get that. This applies to many products.
The pod should connect, that makes it convenient. For its price, its incredibly stupid to not have bluetooth function. Google home mini does more and its price is $50 in australia. The point of being a reviewer is testing things out and finding out compatibility, so you dont have to.
I thought the review did a great job of giving a heads up to people, like me, who might not know what research to do. I wouldn't have thought of checking for these limitations-- so the review was great for me. That aspect of the products performance is an essential part of its performance, and should be reviewed.
Hey I just wanted to add a comment here that I'm just recently switched to HomePod At first I thought it was pretty half baked but honestly it's been great for me. I have an echo and i've found myself using the HomePod much more lately. If you're in the apple ecosystem the functionality is great (including apple music). My favorite feature is being able to tell Siri to play music in my other rooms via my apple TV's. I can say "Play this song in the bedroom". Siri turns on my TV and starts playing the tune in sync. Most of the features I use on echo don't work nearly as well. My ecobee thermostat has the worst command syntax. I have to speak at the echo like a computer to get it to do anything. The syntax of the commands you can feed Siri are much more natural than Alexa. I can say "What is the temperature in bedroom" and it gives me a correct response. THE BIGGEST difference though is that HomePod can hear you over anything. Apple really nailed this part of the technology. I don't think any other smart hub does this as well. I can ask HomePod to do things while music is blasting at my regular voice level and it still hears my commands. Alexa I have to scream at to do anything once it's playing. Alexa has more commands and features but to be honest the implementation of them is pretty clunky compared to apples implementation. This all is of course if you're baked into the apple ecosystem. Once music is playing I can control it from my watch etc... it really is a device for those folks.
Oh yeah and the fact you can ask it contextual music questions now is amazing. If you ask siri to "play hits from 1980" or "play the song with the lyrics blah blah" it works. You can even say "hey siri not that song the other one with that" and it'll pick the next hit. It's pretty amazing actually.
Brandon Russell well said, But you don’t get clicks by posting positive things about apple :)
I have a stereo Sonos setup that i just purchased. I also just purchased the HomePod. The sound quality is light years better on the HomePod so i am returning the Sonos setup right away. I will still use my Sonos rack set top thru Control 4 however for whole house. Also i use Apple TV and watching movies thru Apple TV into the HomePod is amazing sounding. Hope you have better luck with your setup. Thank you for the video.
Love the lighting in your video! Well done!
This is the most honest video I've seen out of all the HomePod reviews. I just subscribed! You're f*ckin awesome!
👍🏼👍🏼
Me too and I lovvvvveee Apple
Agreed.
rigsleazy n
April 2019- just got mine, super easy setup. So happy I purchased 2nd unit & setup as stereo pair, impressive sound.
An honest and critical review. We need more people like you in the community. Subscribed.
🙏🏻
Unlike iJustine 😑😑
Yeah .. Apple's really going downhill .. Great video ! Objective and very well argumented ...
Darieee - No, Apple is not going downhill in any way. Largest and best ecosystem in the world with 1.3 billion active devices and 500 million active Siri users. This clown you watched is one of the least informed.
Mmm, ok, be that as it may, but I have had every iphone since the 3G, and have never been so pissed off about iOS being buggy like hell, by NOT HAVING A FUCKING JACK, by HAVING A FUCKING CAMERA HUMP which makes my phone look like shit and not sit on a table
Also, I've had a mac from 2012, and while they did clean up mac os (used to also be very bad a couple years ago, now it's back to very good), the new macbook pros are literally an insult, I'm not gonna pay 200$ in fucking dongles and adapters, just because
And now they ship this half baked product, which you really cannot say is in any way (except the hardware) polished ...
Darieee - One of the things they did on Mac OS is do certain versions dedicated to performance and bug fixes, it’s been done 3 times on Mac OS. Now with iOS 12 they’ll do something similar.
Dude .. it's not been done - every single ios version was WAY better than ios 10 and 11. Mac OS before 10.10 was utterly flawless ... so, ... yeah
I also had where to plug ALL my equipment into my 2000$ computer before 2016
The only thing that's significantly better since steve died is the quality of the beta iOS'
June 2019:
1. Disagree: You were on hold for 2 hours? I’ve called Apple numerous times over the last 9 years, never on hold over 10 minutes. Also: Apple does have a ‘Apple will call you back’ feature which works well. Also- in-store service is almost always 10/10 if you happen to live nearby a store.
2. Agree: Airpods support Android, Homepod doesn’t- good point.
3.Disagree: 7:30 ‘should not have to wait for software upgrades’. Try writing software sometime :) As of 2019 MacOS and iOS support the Homepod quite nicely. If ‘hold hardware ‘till software is ready’ was the norm that would be a very different world :)
4. Both agree/disagree 12:00 ‘not recommended’. Agree in 2018, disagree in 2019.
5. You’re just wrong :) 13:00 no ‘Homepod 2’ as of June 2019.
Overall you’re right-on for 2018 as an Android-primary user, and would still be correct for 2019 if you’re Android-primary.
I expect the Homepod is so good that buyers will ‘try out’ Apple devices… and be compelled to switch over. Yes, for the music-lover & audio-enthusiast the Homepod sounds THAT GOOD.
Good listening to y’all :)
yeah sonos speakers are like this as well. there doesnt seem to be a BT option to just sync and stream and has to be done through an itunes set up which is not the easiest to do
This type of video is my fav when it comes to new tech reviews. I don't care about the specs (If I'm watching I probably already know about the specs anyway), I just wanna know what you think about it. You just earned a sub.
I have iPads and iPhone, but hate walled gardens. No thanks, happy with Echo and Google Home, plus I have 9 zones of Sonos. So no HomePod here.
“Play sorry for party rocking” - Siri plays the songs from their album that has the same name...that’s bad? I feel like you asked wrong. Could’ve just said “play the song” seeing that their album has the same name?lol she didn’t play any alternative version.
It even said here’s the album I didn’t even notice that and you ignored it?😂
Andrew C "you're holding it wrong"
So from my experience Siri works looking for album then song, so it makes the assumption you would want to listen to an entire album not just one track.
I don’t just want to listen to one track on loop...
All of the things you said you don't like are user error issues (except Bluetooth). You CAN cast RUclips through your homepod and just because it thinks you're talking about a different song doesn't mean it can't play it. Maybe try specifying the artists? It can't read minds.
The HomePod can now make phone calls and also Siri has limited functionality because Apple is trying to respect users privacy. This is not the hate comment because even though I like Apple products, I don’t like everything they do and I respect people who don’t exactly like all of their products or the entire company in general.
HomePod looks like a portable potty
thank you for your honest video. great video brother
Rahim Heaven--Honest? Really? This clown didn't know that the HomePod lacks Android compatibility? Has he been asleep for the last month? I call bullshit on him.
We need more Armando's in the world
You are wrong in some issues you’ve mentioned because obviously you should’ve take some more time to get to know Home Pod better.
I have it and have no complains at all, in fact now I have 3 rooms in home with it on and the apple ecosystem works like magic real aware of every apple device in home and get along perfectly. Tv room have two with stereo sound working together and I don’t know why you’re saying all that.
And never had any of the flaws you’re talking about, really.
this review made me subscribe. honest and straightforward.
Ps. Love the lack of cuts, and videography. Your style is visionary
Glad you noticed it!
The moment he tried to pair his Android to his HomePod was the moment I stopped watching this review.
This isn't a review I'm glad you stopped watching it.
Armando Ferreira good point. I’ll subscribe.
Exactly Cortez, trying to pair to droid....duh...unsubbed
Its Apple. They will get away with this. Trust me on this one.
Unfortunately, they already have. reviews like this get lost in a sea of sucking it up to Apple reviews. A shame.
@@noahpelfan1708 ????? thats not true lol people complain plenty about this product lol
The HomePod is amazing compared to all other smart speakers no doubt!
Downvoting your clickbaity thumbnail for your video, but congratulations you got me to click on this. I'm out.
Apple's biggest flaw is they are stubborn with expanding support to consumers that choose not to only buy Apple products.
Oh, oops, I'll stop. ;)
IIRC you can use Spotify/AirPlay your music to it too, but it would just be a normal speaker. I still want one for the sound but my god is it so restrictive if I don't use every Apple product.
WOW, no clickbait title today!
Being trapped in an apple ecosystem is not good. Not good.
Its no better to be trapped to a Google ecosystem...
@@lnesland yeah it is iSheep
lnesland i’ve been an apple fanboy for a long time but in my opinion apple are shit tbh still using an iphone but still android is better:
The problem with Google when you tried to turn off "Hector" is that you named it "The Hector" in Google Home, so you need to say "OK Google, turn off 'The Hector'". Google's not smart enough to ignore words in the names, but it doesn't care if you say additional words, such as "turn off the Hector light".
great video..
I'll pass it
I’m an Apple sheep and I feel you made a lot of valid points
I like Apple too, I just hate that everyone gives them a pass for no reason.
Armando Ferreira on point! They seem to get away with anything and I mean ANYTHING they choose to do... $$$
You can airplay for airplay things like youtube and spotify......
Armando Ferreira exactly
Yeah, he did. I'm not particularly an Apple person but i've used Apple products and do appreciate it when they do something right. But the fact that HomePod actually got released in this unfinished state is kinda concerning, it was already a delayed product, from the look of it there is alteast an year of work left on the software side for this to be a viable smart home speaker.
I do tech based contents with a unique new style. If you are free please do give my channel a look.
Gracias for been honest is great to know, and it's probably better to wait for now!
You can airplay podcast and your music library to the HomePod. Use iTunes Match and you can play all your music.
Update your phone bro
Thomas McNeil What makes you think his phone isn't updated?
I can't believe I'm defending a company I hate and would love to see non-existent, but some of these features you're critiquing didn't come on the Google Home at lunch and came through later updates. Knowing that the function will improve like it did on other smart features, I think you should calm down a bit.
Ryan Lewis It’s like everybody is in a hurry to criticize Apple lately
Mine works fine,lights are faster to to turn on and the one thing!!!!!! The music beats all other speakers even Sonos
Ryan Lewis but the problem is....Google was only 130
yeah because that $130 packed the same tech as the HomePod....
Isaiah Shea I see your point, but Apple overcharges for every product. So, it's right in line.
@TimCook and this is just another reason why I changed to Android last November after being an Apple Fanboy since 2008
I agree. Tim Cook is a walking disaster for product quality. It is time for their development managers to hit the road and bring in some people who know what they are doing.
You can AirPlay RUclips audio on HomePod. I have HomePod at home. I don’t have Apple Music but I can play all my music from my iPhone 6s Plus. It works with any app that supports AirPlay.
£199 each in the UK and I’ve got a pair working in stereo in the home with the new 65” LG C9 and it’s 😎
The realest Apple HomePod review!
Buthurt, much iFan?
One of... there are others out there. I Hate Apple Fanboys (no space and you know what to add at the end)
prowlfilm you sound ignorant and arrogant. I got a Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, Nintendo Switch, Gaming PC and Oculus Rift! As well! I’m not rich but my father is, so I do just fine! But you my friend are just dumb! @ me and I’ll give you reasons why
prowlfilm why you mad tho?
prowlfilm so you would advise getting one then? I’m in the Apple ecosystem but haven’t got one because the reviews haven’t been that great.
great vid
I think apple has rushed products out the last few items
Please post a link to products you've designed/mfgd/sold/supported. I'd love to buy something better than the Homepod, Apple Watch 4th Gen, iPad Pro 2018.
HomePod still best if you are an apple products.
Software and hardware are the best.
You nailed all the points exactly
Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave.
Touch Yosh :):):):
@Irfaan Faki just like his company. Stopped dealing with Apple after iPhone 4
This is the first video of yours I have watched. Awesome presentation skills - and a spot on review of the disastrous HomePod. I’ve wasted about four or five hours already, finally one works but my second one is still stuck in limbo. Needless to say, they are heading back to Apple. My Echo Spot and m Echo Dot were a breeze to set up.
Are you Angry Joe's dad?

Angry...? Do you call this angry... then you do not know what angry is.. Its a review of the product not working.
Solid Review. I wish I could find a review of Homepod vs Kef EGG Speakers.
Honest reviewer, you won my honor!
This HomePod is the worst product I ever bought from Apple. I am going to return it. Apple has been going down hill for awhile.
This video just activated my home Echo and started playing Party Rockin LOL Did it happen to anyone else?
You got a new sub!
Hello 🙌🏼
I really wanted to buy the HomePod, but your video is telling me to go with Echo Studio. I know my Echo Dot works with my iPad and other brands I have. (Good video)
Connect it to a Mac. Done. You have no idea what you are talking about. I’m out.
I’ve just got 2 words for you. Software updates.
And that's the good thing with Apple. Product gets better with software updates.
Mondo with the Btye on the HomePod💯
+Lover Of Tech I like that! 👌🏼
Armando Ferreira 👊🏿 thanks for the pure honesty
After what happened with customer support I guess no one would be able to set aside their anger. The smell from the burn is pretty intense...
BTW you are one of the best RUclipsrs, keep it up 👌👌👌
Sounds Terrible. They don't let you use Bluetooth. For the price you would imagine they would. Apple are really starting to lose my interest in their products. Even in their phones there is nothing there that is outstanding.
Google Home is really-really slow.
I don't have an issue with how fast it responds to the command but it reacts very slow after that - try to give it multiple commands like "Turn the lights on and turn the lights off ", it takes about 5 seconds after you hear the response...
Siri on the iPad though, is instant.
Note: It's because of the very slow processor in Google Home devices - the phone(Galaxy S7) executes the actions as fast as iPad.
