Who might get this?
Can it work with HomePods, which actually totally makes sense?
This means you have to deal with Siris foibles and poor reliability.

Apple
In iOS 15, Siri does a lot more on the equipment.
Its able to process many commands without calling up to Apples servers for help.
Some missing features arent really worth worrying about.

Apple
Theres one other extra that will make voice-activated music more palatable.
Apple has created “hundreds” of new playlists just for the new voice plan.
you could ask for “dinner-party music,” for example.
Or you canas mentioned during Apples MacBook Pro eventask for a hiking playlist.
Who Is This For?
The HomePod is already voice-only, so adding a cheaper music plan may encourage signups to Apple Music.
Apple isnt even the first to try this idea.
Amazon already has avoice-only, $3.99-per-month Single-gear planfor its speaker users.
Well have to wait to see if this works with Music, but it should work.
Its also possible the Siri requirement will put people off.
