The speaker was expected to dispatch in December, yet it was postponed in late November. Apple's first smart speaker should go head to head against Amazon's Echo line and Google's Assistant items, both of which have had a long head begin in stores and homes.

Since Apple reported the HomePod in June, Amazon unveiled an extended lineup of new Echo gadgets, and Google launched its Home Mini and Home Max.

The HomePod was missing at CES this month, while smart speakers basically commanded the show. Apple has been featuring the HomePod's sound quality, calling it a "incredible music listening experience".

Like its opposition, the HomePod will have the capacity to control your brilliant home through Apple's Home-Kit system and Siri. The speaker will also support outsider informing applications, so you can send messages by talking.

In spite of lagging Google and Amazon, Apple has the security advantage - all discussions are encrypted to a higher degree than Alexa and Google Assistant.
