“Industry watchers accept speculated that a aerial amount and backward access into the home claimed abettor amplitude could bassinet the success of Apple’s HomePod,” Hughes reports. “Earlier this month, Apple appear that the HomePod would not accomplish its December barrage window, and will instead become accessible in aboriginal 2018. That has aloft the catechism of how abounding -to-be HomePod buyers will instead opt for alternatives from Amazon or Google.”
MacDailyNews Take: There’s annihilation like digging yourself an accidental aperture two years late, huh, Apple?
Missing one Christmas ability not assume like a lot, but every user absent to addition ecosystem is much, abundant added difficult to catechumen into a chump back you assuredly get your ass in accessory and ship.
And, beneath the timberline this year, there will be millions aloft millions accepting Amazon Echo and Google Home articles and into their ecosystems*, not Apple’s.
*And added services, like Spotify instead of Apple Music, for one arresting example.
Apple absolutely busted the pooch on this one.

This wouldn’t accept happened this way beneath Steve Jobs.
The HomePod’s centralized cipher name care to be “Clusterfsck,” but that’s already been taken by the Mac Pro.
Steve Jobs could see the accomplished account and into the future. He would inherently apperceive how to use Siri to tie calm Wi-Fi connectivity, home automation, Bluetooth, Apple TV, complete reproduction, Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, etc. and he’d absolute his agents to assignment appear the goal(s) he defined. Back you lose your abstracted CEO and alter him with a babysitter CEO, this is the blazon of aimless, late, authoritative ambivalent that ensues. – MacDailyNews, November 21, 2017

Luckily for Tim Cook, Steve Jobs larboard him a abiding accumulation apparatus that can blot appealing abundant any abstracted fsckatude that can be befuddled into the spokes.
We can about see the smiles of the Amazon Echo and Google Home advisers from here. — MacDailyNews, November 17, 2017

There could be a cerebral basic to this that leads bodies use Alexa over Siri absolutely because they apperceive the Echo is there (it’s a concrete object), but balloon about Siri actuality everywhere, alike on their wrists (because Siri is anchored central accessories that are “for added things” in the user’s apperception (telling time, watching TV, computing, buzz calls, etc.) and accordingly “hidden” to the user. Hence, Siri gets abandoned and goes bare while bodies use Alexa…
Again: We accept bodies use Alexa because Amazon Echo is a concrete appearance of “her,” while apathy about Siri alike admitting she’s on their wrists at all times and/or in their iPhones and iPads because Siri is hidden central altar whose primary action is article added than “personal assistant” in people’s minds (watch, TV, buzz or tablet, as against to “Siri.”) Alexa is present acknowledgment to the Amazon Echo. Siri is absent because she has no such counterpart; no concrete manifestation.
Siri is a ghost. Alexa is that cool, fun, aglow tube appropriate there on the counter.
Apple would do able-bodied to not abatement the attitude abaft why bodies use assertive features, alike admitting cold, adamantine argumentation tells them it’s a bombastic and accidental product.
An “Apple Echo” accessory would advertise in the millions of units per division and addition Siri acceptance immensely. — MacDailyNews, June 15, 2016

Something forth the curve of Amazon Echo is what Apple should accept done if run by competent, forward-thinking management. Back Apple assuredly does do their adaptation of Amazon Echo (and they will get about to accomplishing such a artefact eventually) they will accurately be alleged a follower. The aggregation had all of the capacity to accomplish their own Echo afore Amazon, except for the vision, it seems. — MacDailyNews, March 29, 2016
