Amazon Echo Vs. Apple HomePod: Which Device Do Consumers Want?

One in three U.S. consumers are interested in buying Apple's new HomePod speaker, a new survey found. Morning Consult polled 2,200 adults in the U.S. between June 8-12, a few days after the HomePod was revealed at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. The iPhone company pitched the device as a hybrid high-end music speaker and home assistant, which can control smart home devices with Apple's HomeKit. Users will also be able to use the HomePod for basic reminders, ask questions about the news and will also control music and audio playback. The survey shows people are interested in buying the iPhone maker's high-end speaker, with 33 percent of respondents saying they were interested in purchasing the device.
