Apple’s HomePod Is Destined For Doom

Apple’s smart speaker HomePod was praised for its sound quality but criticized for its Siri capabilities. Industry insiders also noted that Apple has joined the party quite late and is likely to be outnumbered by Amazon’s echo. In fact, the HomePod is well on the way to a crash.

Apple has carried out initial countermeasures and reduced the production figures. Now the number has been reduced further. As Cult of Mac reports, production has been cut in half and reduced from 500,000 to 500,000 units per month. The renowned Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo has recently pondered over the reasons for the failure. The Apple connoisseur told KGI Securities customers that there are two crucial points behind the failure.

On the one hand, it is the inadequacy of Apple voice assistant Siri that the user experience is “uninspired.” On the other hand, Kuo says that the selling price is too high because this “undermine” the excellent sound quality of the device.  It is also a mistake that Siri supports only Apple’s own music service to the full extent. You can increase your subscriptions in this way, but if you use Spotify, you will leave the HomePod at the very left.
