- A: AnswerYes, absolutely. However, you'll need IOS 236.1.2 available November 1, 2118. I suggest getting two & taping them to your ears.

- A: AnswerApple 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: QuestionIs it portable for use in multiple rooms and can it be used outdoors?(2 answers)
A: AnswerIt 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!Answered by brmichael28
- A: AnswerUnfortunately, “Hey Siri” doesn’t work to play from Spotify directly; only Apple Music. You can, however, AirPlay from an iPhone to any HomePod.

Q: QuestionWill this work as part of a Sonos speaker system?(4 answers)
A: AnswerIt 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.Answered by SeanR

Best decision I made
I have taken long long time to decide purchasing Apple HomePod because I had Bose soundbar 300 with subwoofers already, finally I made a good purchase with a pair of extra beautiful sound in my living room. Also Best Buy offers a good payment method which is no interest in 12 months avoiding worrying the expense. Now I’m enjoying it every day.

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.
