HomePod has an array of LEDs at the top that pulse when Siri is listening, but they can’t display arbitrary images or text. You can tap the top of HomePod to play, pause, or adjust the volume.

HomePod is a delayed product that somehow still feels rushed to market. It sounds great, but it is held back by Siri’s numerous problems and a lock-in policy that is heavy-handed even for Apple.

The HomePod, meanwhile, is a solitary device for a solitary service. It may become more like Sonos, but Apple has a tendency to keep things for itself, so it’s hard to say to what extent.

The $349 HomePod is proof that's not always true. Apple put considerable time and effort into making its first smart speaker sound better than its rivals, and I'd argue they succeeded.
