How Apple Can Fix HomePod in 2020
When Apple
started designing HomePod seven years ago, the company was willing to make the
exceptional sounding speakers that could be used anywhere and still sound
great. Apple made huge investments in building up the engineering and expert
team for developing the audio mechanism the company was willing. The audio
engineering team put their efforts tirelessly into the computational audio
concepts and came out with exceptional products that could deliver high-quality
audio irrespective of the matter where it is played. But, the question is what
went wrong with the so exceptional and ambitious program of Apple.
When Apple was busy shaping its ambitious HomePod
the market was continuously changing and till the company introduced the
product, it was completely changed. Amidst all, Amazon had already launched its
audio product the Alex along with Google which started to replicate all of
them. Till then and now, Apple had introduced several updates regarding the
software but of no use and any of these could not ignite the interest of the
users for the HomePod like the early days of iPhone or other Apple products.
Now, What will be the further course of action by Apple to handle the situation
and how it cloud fix it.
Siri
The great fix
that could be brought in Siri is starting the talks about the updates related
to it and it should be not be limited to only the set of features or quality of
voice but also include the performance and consistency. moreover, the updates
and improvements should be experienced by everyone. Apple has hired John
Gianandrea as the lead to the new artificial intelligence of Apple, who is the
former head of search of Google. The hiring could be seen as the new step which
could finally deliver the best results regarding delivering the SiriOS which
could switch between the devices. The delivery of such software could help the
users to get the best and fast information conveniently anywhere.
Mini, TV & Hub
Many of the
smart speakers which are also the best sellers introduced by Amazon or Google
are very much competitive in the qualities and price that the users pay for
Apple HomePod. The devices are far less expensive along with smaller in size
and Apple has not yet introduced something like that in the market. Apple had
not yet introduced the netbook game as it would not able to compete in the
commoditized market where the most crucial factor is how much the product is
cheap. In the end, the users want the functionality of the HomePod and that
should be not only limited to smaller places but also should expand to more
locations. Moreover, A dedicated mode in Apple TV with the permanent soundbar
could be of more use when it comes to expending the works get done by HomePod.
Bluetooth & Line-in
Apple should
think over fixing the itchy audiophile and should confirm its accessibility for
the whole family. The introduction of
Apple Music was an Apple family music plan and seeing that some families could
be the multi-platform the company should think over to make it a starter for
everyone in the family.
Integration of Siri
The integration
of Siri along with SDK will provide the users with more ambient computing
towards the voice-driven future that will be much faster. the introduction of
several features In HomePod SDK enables it for supporting multi-user purposes
including personal requests and handoff. Such features are helpful for the
users if they are tapping their iPhone to switch the tunes or tapping Live
Radio for getting the online broadcasts.
