hey Siri so I have some questions about the home pod will it support other streaming services the home pod is designed for music so naturally it plays from your Apple music library but what if you want to use another streaming service Amazon echo and Google home play from apps like Spotify but we don't know if the home pod will do the same and the specs don't mention bluetooth so it's unclear if you'll be able to connect from non Apple devices how does spatial awareness work the home buyer has what Apple calls automatic roon sensing technology to work out where it is then it adjusts the audio but the demo didn't really say how this works the onboard microphones could be part of the process how does it reset though if you move it around and is this automatic or do you need to calibrate with an app and what about the wake word to get home pod to listen say hey Siri if you have a room full of other Apple devices saying hey Siri might cause a riot to be fair this can affect other devices as okay Google can potentially trigger the Google home and a phone Amazon kind of gets around this by having the choice of different Wake words like computer Alexa and echo so we'll have to see if Apple will do the same will it work with the Apple TV it makes sense that if you have an Apple TV you'll want to connect a home pod for a better audio experience as for voice control Apple TV already has Siri support so maybe the home pod could control it from anywhere in the room not just from the remote how will you send messages and will this be tied to iMessage exclusively the Siri API is open to third-party apps and you can get Siri on the iPhone to read messages from whatsapp so anything's possible there's still lots of unanswered questions about the home pod that will hopefully be answered by the time it goes on sale in December
