Apple's smart speakers are powerful but have "fatal" design flaws

OFweek smart home network news Apple in the much anticipated WWDC officially released its new product line HomePod wireless speaker, the appearance of the product and the 2013 launch of the Mac Pro is quite similar, the appearance of the composition of the woven material, the color is silver And black optional.

In terms of configuration, the new HomePod is equipped with 6 microphone arrays, a 4 inch subwoofer, a 7-speaker array at the bottom, and an internal Apple A8 processor. Apple claims that this configuration can produce extremely sophisticated sound effects while enabling real-time audio adjustments via the A8 chip.

In terms of functionality, users can use “Hey Siri” to wake up HomePod, get hotspots such as weather, news and traffic, and use voice commands to control other HomeKit smart home products connected to HomePod. Of course, the user can also use voice commands to search for desired content like other smart speakers.

Although compared with Amazon Echo or Google Home, HomePod seems to be a little late. But there is no doubt that the Apple Logo is bound to occupy a place among Apple fans.

Indeed, HomePod is almost impeccable in terms of hardware configuration and functionality, but Mashable believes that one design may directly lead to HomePod's failure in the future.

Here, we are not talking about the price of HomePod's $349 or the practicability of its built-in Siri voice control, but its external material. Unlike Amazon Echo or Google Home, Apple's HomePod uses a mesh material, and this material is very likely to become a pet's "love" in some users' homes. As a cat owner, I am almost certain that HomePod will be "invaded" by pets, especially cats, in the future.

For this issue, many users also posted similar views on Twitter:

“The HomePod is sure to be the most expensive sander used by pet cats.” —Jessie Char (@jessiechar)

"In the future, Apple's genius will probably encounter a lot of queries like 'My HomePod is considered by the cat to be a gripper, what should I do'." - Creative Rants (@Creative_Rants)

"Let's welcome the HomePod. This is the most expensive cat scratcher ever. Your pet cat will love it!" —? Rgüt? Ayl? (@orgutcayli)

"Will the future AppleCare Warranty Plan cover the HomePod that was scratched by cats?” — fruit loop (@benwitko)

It should be noted that HomePod can be said to be the second new product launched by Apple Watch since Tim Cook took over as CEO. Therefore, soon after the conclusion of yesterday’s keynote speech, many foreign media preempted this new speaker.

According to the speech, after hearing “Hey Siri”, the top of the HomePod will be illuminated with the same waveform light in the Siri interface, and then you can ask it about weather, news, etc., or set alarms and reminders. However, according to feedback from field reporters, HomePod is still in the demo stage and will not respond to voice commands. In other words, HomePod can't do anything other than light up.
