Apple CEO Tim Cook claimed the HomePod is a

“breakthrough home speaker with amazing sound and incredible intelligence that will reinvent home audio”.

Moreover, this HomePod is more expensive as compared to Amazon Echo and Google Home. The speaker will sell for about $350 in December. Whereas Amazon sells the main version of the Echo for $180; Google’s Home speaker goes for $130.

HomePod will have spatial awareness so the music it plays will be adjusted to the size of the room. Moreover, if two pods are set up they will be able to work together. It also serves as a smart voice assistant.

Recently, Apple has launched a new iOS update that will be compatible to all Apple devices. The new iOs 10.3.2 update is introduced to fix the bugs. It will also be responsible for improving performance and security features.
