Good evening to the list. Here are my thoughts on the new Homepod I received today after ordering it directly from the Apple online store yesterday. I just cannot get over the sound quality. It's amazing! It actually sounds bigger than what the Homepod really is, a small, cylindrical but heavyweight speaker, weighing in at 2.5 KG (5.5 pounds). For a music speaker, the features are great. From what I have seen of Siri, it has done what I asked it too. But the feature I absolutely love is the ability to remotely control media playback from not only the iOS device that was used to set up Homepod, but also other iOS devices connected to the same wi-fi network as the Homepod,and even iTunes on your Mac and I assume PC, providing all devices are running the latest update, 11.2.5 or later on iOS, iTunes 12.7.3 or later for Mac and again I assume PC. I also tried Airplay, and that works like a charm. For me who wanted it as more of a music speaker rather than something equivalent of an Amazon Echo, it was worth every penny. Before I sign off, setup was a breeze on my iPhone 6s running iOS 11.2.5. I would say if you are on the fence, do it! i don't think you will regret it.
