It’s the moment all Apple-lovers have been waiting for – the Apple HomePod has become available for pre-order! The HomePod is Apple’s answer to the Amazon Echo and Alexa-enabled line, and to Google’s smart home assistant, aptly named, Hey Google. The Amazon Echo and Google Home have been battling it out for a while now, with Apple announcing its home solution only six months ago. Since then, Apple fans have been hungry for news about when the device will finally come available, and that, friends, is today.
Previously, Apple users had only Apple HomeKit to control their smart home products, of which there is a limited range. This is due to Apple having higher security protocol for smart home companies to become a part of their network, making HomeKit users safer from cyber attacks via their home automation products. With HomeKit, you had to use Siri from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple computer to control these products, but no more – the Apple HomePod has Siri built in, making one of the best-loved personal assistants accessible in an attractive, capsule-shaped speaker.
