Audio by Apple
With a precision-designed speaker system, Apple audio tech and advanced software powered by Apple's A8 chip, you'll get supreme sound wherever you place it. Bass is deep and rich while mids and trebles are brilliantly detailed. It senses its location and optimises settings for amazing, immersive audio wherever you are in the room. The HomePod sound rocks the house.
Apple Music & Easy Streaming
With Apple Music (subscription required) you have access to over 45 million songs, virtually every song you could think of. And by voice interacting with Siri, it learns your tastes and can help you discover great new music. Friends connected to your Wi Fi network can stream their music straight to your HomePod. And you can also AirPlay other content from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV and Mac.
"Hey Siri, play 90s hip-hop"
"Hey Siri, play TED Talks Daily podcast"
Airplay 2 for Multi-room Music
With Airplay 2 you can link up multiple HomePods or other Airplay 2 compatible speakers to enjoy multi-room music. Play different songs in different rooms in the house or the same track throughout the home. Or tell Siri to move the song from one speaker to another as you move about the house.
Assistant at Home
As well as playing music, the HomePod can keep you up to date with news, traffic, sport and weather. It can set reminders and tasks and send messages. All with just your voice.
"Hey Siri, remind me to water the plants"
"Hey Siri, add apples to the shopping list"
Activate your Smart Home
It can help you control your smart home too; a wide range of smart home accessories are compatible with Apple's HomeKit platform. Just add the device to the Home app on your iOS device to get started.
Automatic Set-up
Just plug in the HomePod and your iOS device will detect it. Its array of six beamforming microphones is precision tuned to hear your voice with ease, even over loud music.
Aesthetic Design
Wrapped in a seamless mesh fabric designed to enhance acoustics and aesthetics, the HomePod is an icon of functional minimalism that fits anywhere. Tap the top of HomePod to play, pause, skip songs or adjust volume, and touch and hold to talk to Siri.
