It does support apps, but only through an iPhone. It was always clear apps would be there, but not how.

Same people who laughed at apps on Apple TV insist on Apple putting voice apps on HomePod. Makes little sense.

The question isn’t whether there are apps – it’s how they’re handled. Apple decided to put apps there (hard not to given SiriKit).

Apple users can do everything with voice on several devices at home already, only thing mis is a good speaker. HomePod solve a problem.

Lots of AirPlay speakers out there already. This is about voice.

Nope. Apple explicitly said it’s about good speakers.

This is a good speaker with voice. There are lots of good speakers, but not good speakers with voice. It’s voice that’s the differentiator

Zhou, the meme one needs “General AI” for voice to be useful is propagated by those who do not understand AI
