A: Yes, absolutely. However, you'll need IOS 236.1.2 available November 1, 2118. I suggest getting two & taping them to your ears.
A: Apple HomePods will only pair to Apple devices (Apple TV, iPhones, Macs, & iPads). They will not pair to non-Apple BT devices. I have two stereo pairs, one controlled by an Apple TV and the other by an Apple iMac. But either pair can also by controlled by any other Apple device, including our iPhones or a guest iPhone.
Q: Can you use these speakers in pairs to watch tv
A: Yes. It has to be two of the same HomePod.
Q: What is the difference between the 1st generation Home Pod and the second Generation
A: The first generation of HomePod was the first and oldest of the HomePod products. The second generation HomePod(s) are newer, and the second of the two current generations available. Simple, right?
Q: Is it portable for use in multiple rooms and can it be used outdoors?
A: It does need to be plugged into an outlet in order to be used, so it definitely is not portable. Just like the Amazon Echo devices, the goal is to have someone purchase a device for every room ( really where the HomePod Mini joins the party ). The HomePod also is very much NOT water/weather-proof, so in my opinion it would be worth keeping it indoors at all times. I have two and use them as my TV/gaming sound system as well as streaming radio for my cat while I’m at work!
Q: Will the HomePod play my favorite/liked songs on Spotify if I ask it to? My Amazon Alexa does.
A: Unfortunately, “Hey Siri” doesn’t work to play from Spotify directly; only Apple Music. You can, however, AirPlay from an iPhone to any HomePod.
A: It is about the size of a two slice toaster
Q: Will this work as part of a Sonos speaker system?
A: It would only work if you were casting audio through your appleTV, using an apple device (or you could change manually through settings on your appleTV, but that would be a setting you would have to change every time you started your TV). Once your audio (TV show, movie, music, podcast etc.) has started playing, you can select on your iPhone to add an additional audio player. Once you do that, it would be playing out of both your appleTV and your homepod. I do this often.

Revolutionized My Smart Home!
The Apple HomePod has completely transformed the way I experience technology at home. From its sleek design that seamlessly blends with my decor to the unparalleled sound quality that fills every corner of my space, this device is nothing short of spectacular. Siri’s responsiveness on the HomePod is lightning-fast, making tasks like managing my schedule, controlling smart home devices, and even answering random trivia questions a breeze. The integration with Apple Music is flawless—I’ve discovered new levels of depth in my favorite songs thanks to the HomePod’s spatial audio and bass clarity. What truly sets the HomePod apart is its ability to sync effortlessly with other Apple products. Whether I’m receiving calls, setting reminders, or streaming podcasts, the continuity between devices is seamless and intuitive. It feels like having a personal assistant that’s always ready to help! If you’re looking for a smart speaker that delivers both cutting-edge technology and aesthetic appeal, the HomePod is an investment you’ll never regret. It’s the perfect blend of function and luxury, and I can’t imagine my life without it. Apple, you’ve outdone yourself again!

Great speaker, but lacking on assistant functions
The HomePod is a spectacular speaker that well fills the space in which we have it configured. It looks great and its appearance obnoxious like the big Echo device from Amazon. The Siri functionality is a bit limited, like the mobile version, and so some queries are just not possible. But overall, it does what I want it to do and I don’t have to settle for Amazon stealing all my information.
