Apple's HomePod Puts Siri in a Speaker

It's hard not to watch Amazon's Alexa and Google's Assistant invade millions of living rooms and not feel like Apple blew an opportunity. Almost six years after Apple announced Siri as a feature on the iPhone 4S, Siri's still confined to computers and phones. Siri has to be unlocked, activated, and summoned. Alexa and Assistant are omnipresent, always ready and waiting. The closest thing Apple offers is "Hey Siri," which works approximately never. Now Apple finally has a way to get Siri out of your phone and into your family room.
