Apple's HomePod gets mixed reviews – our panel shared the same lukewarm response last year

 
Hi,

Apple's HomePod is getting not-so-favorable reviews in the weeks since its release.

The New York Times' Brian Chen called it "tough to recommend" and called voice assistant Siri, the primary way users interact with the device, "embarrassingly inadequate."

The Verge's Nilay Patel said "you're better served by other smart speakers." And The Telegraph's James Titcomb noted the device "feels a little underpowered."

But Business Insider Intelligence members knew six months ago that the HomePod would struggle.

In our Smart Speaker Report published last August, we conducted a proprietary study where we benchmarked demand for the HomePod against other smart speakers, such as Amazon's Echo Show.

In the survey, 39% of first adopters said they planned to purchase the Echo Show, compared to just 29% for the HomePod. The HomePod also lagged behind the Echo Show among the early majority and late majority.

These are the types of insights that Business Insider Intelligence subscribers are receiving on a daily basis. Furthermore, our subscribers can take full advantage of these insights months before their peers.
