Yes a $350 device with loving Siri is gonna crush the smart speaker marker. Let me order $1000 worth of HomePods so I can have one in each room instead of $300 or whatever for three Alexas (I’m assuming those are like $100/each but idk, I’m fairly sure they’re not $350/each). I mean, just give this a try (requires Apple Music):  : Hey Siri play some music. : Okay, playing your radio station.: Hey Siri what time is it?: The time is 8am, good morning! Because I am the most stupid voice assistant ever and can not understand context, I’m going to keep the phone in this state now where the time is displayed on your screen but the music is just paused, forever, because my programmers are stupid because it never occurred to them that maybe the user wants the music to resume playing at this point.Come on, justify why it’s correct behavior for Siri to keep my music paused indefinitely like this.

I’m thinking about a mini but one of my use cases would be listening to podcasts. On some of the ones I listen to they have ads for Google products where they say you could just say “Hey Google, play The Daily” for example. I’m assuming that Google would play the proper podcast even if it’s not one on a playlist. Does Siri do this too? I use Overcast but I guess I could use Apple Podcasts.

Endless Mike posted:You don't have to use Apple Podcasts on your phone to do this, though I suppose if it's a more obscure podcast it might have trouble finding it. In any case, I just said "Hey Siri play podcast Robot or Not" and it worked fine, despite me having deleted Podcasts from my phone. Really? I just said “hey Siri play podcast robot or not” and she said she didn’t see an app for that. I don’t have Apple podcasts installed so that’s why I figured I would have to switch to it to get the integration I wanted.

Endless Mike posted:To be clear: you do not need the Podcasts app on your phone for a HomePod to play podcasts. You do need it on your phone to play via the Apple Podcasts app on your phone. Oh I get it. I could say “Hey HomePod-Siri, play the latest episode of blah podcast” and she’ll play it because she has the software needed to do that on the HomePod? If I did use Apple podcasts on my phone would that sync over to that app then?
