• What is the HomePod ◦ To help with definition, may need to define the Amazon Echo • Why is it important ◦ Apple releasing this product puts the needed attention back on Siri ◦ Apple is a hardware company. They can’t sell the HomePod if their competitors handle voice commands better. ‣ List competitors, Amazon Echo, Google Home • Brief Siri background and how it came to be ◦ Apple bought a small company and integrated it’s software into iOS. Not much attention has been placed on it in a very long time. • Where Siri fails when compared to competitors • What does this mean for us? ◦ Siri is embedded into every iPhone, iPad, and Mac computer now ◦ Improving Siri = everyone wins • Conclude ◦ Apple, I want to use Siri to really be my personal assistant. I want it to help me conquer more throughout the day without looking or touching my phone. I believe in you. I have no choice to because you’re (Apple) not selling my data. Love, a tech lover
