2 You Aren’t Invested in Any Other Voice Assistants
As you may expect, the HomePod uses Siri for voice commands. But, how do you feel about that? If you have a few Google devices around, you may be more comfortable with the “Ok, Google” conversation. Or maybe you’ve gotten used to an Echo device, and already use Alexa to answer questions and make notes. That’s fine, but switching to Siri will take a little time to get used to.
Additionally, the HomePod can answer questions and play podcasts or the news, but it can’t order products for you, and it’s not compatible with list or calendar apps that aren’t Apple’s own.
It’s fine if you already use Siri, but if you’re used to another voice assistant you may have to accept some limitations.
