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: 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.
Q: Does this have a built in speaker.
A: Yes
