I believe you can't use Bluetooth.

They must want to utilize some sort of feature with airplay.

Apple just got their $3,000 speaker in today. I'm sure that can use bluetooth. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/...cf13e117bf1155f

Employees at our Apple store have been told to not be afraid to bring up competition when discussing the HomePod with customers. They bring up history.google.com and that freaks a lot of people out. I remember finding it one day when I still had my Android and I was able to see every movement I had made on a map, up to bootie calls at 2 AM. It was strange.

Ewen Cluney posted:The Verge put out a HomePod review video that's the first I've seen that's really critical. The reviewer was really impressed with the sound quality, but spent a lot of time talking about the limitations of it, and also pointed out that unlike the iOS Siri, HomePod Siri doesn't distinguish voices, so if your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network as your HomePod, anyone who can talk to your HomePod can use it to send and receive messages. You can disable the feature entirely in the settings app, but depending on your situation it may be a pretty glaring concern. the Verge has been nothing but clickbait concern sensationalism, I would take anything they say with a grain of salt and just wait to see what the public says.

Like this article that came out yesterday that has the most misleading title every for clicks. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/2/6/16979288/iphone-8-x-hardware-improvements-battery-throttling The title of the article posted:Apple says iPhone 8 and X have ‘hardware updates’ that address battery issues What they actually mean posted:iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X models include hardware updates that allow a more advanced performance management system that more precisely allows iOS to anticipate and avoid an unexpected shutdown. The Verge sucks.

Homepods are in the back at Apple Stores today so they get to test them out.

Music can be blasting at full force but Siri can still hear you. Kinda cool.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Finally picked up this dumb thing. It’s both bigger and smaller than I thought it would be at the same time. It sounds really good and setting it up was that same almost complete hand off wave your phone hit yes and you’re done setup Apple is getting really good at. I was surprised it was mesh. Now I have to keep it away from the drat cats.

So music gets loving loud, but I've noticed when I hook it up to my Mac or Apple TV, it doesn't get that loud. Strange.

Dick Nipples posted:Not too surprising to me for some reason. I ordered one initially and have ordered two more for a whole home setup. Alexa can't understand worth poo poo compared to HomePod. We put her in the bedroom and its like night and day.

Three Olives posted:My favorite thing about the teardown is when the firmware came out Apple geeks were obsessing about the 272 x 340 display that it secretly had and speculating about all the cool one more thing uses it could have. Nope, just 16 LEDs to make the Siri blob.

MarcusSA posted:Maybe I’m confusing the issue as well but are they gonna let us have all the HomePods in the house play the same thing? I think it doesn't do that yet. I think right now you can have (HomePod) and (HomePod 1) ect. then select them individually.

LPG Giant posted:Is there a way to use voice commands to make the homepod continue playing whatever I was playing (through headphones) on my iPhone? I tried ‘continue playing what was on my iPhone’ and Siri said she couldn’t do that, but that could also mean I phrased it wrong. I tried this, this morning and it took me to the TV app

I love my HomePod, but I wish she was more of the "central" Siri. There's too many things she can't do and refers you to ask your phone when she should be the main bitch in charge.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:I haven’t run into this at all, I think. I’ll usually throw a timer on my watch via siri and the HomePod never trips on it so I think it knows when not to listen. Really? Our HomePod will take over almost instantly if she even slightly hears you. The only way to not use it is if you hold the Siri button or you quietly say it in another room
