Don’t need to buy an army of stuff to replicate what the HomePod does easily.....
You're just going to give up that easily and let common sense prevail? People want to hear you expound on the few benefits of HomePod.

Why do I need an audio cable when I can stream from anywhere, even from lte.You mean like an audio input cable?

Echo Dot does wireless playback too in addition to wired. Your point?
It’s called unplugging itNo physical mic disable switch = no buy.
That’s the point, LTE. Stream to your echo dot from LTE only. I wouldn’t do it, but since we’re talking only a spec sheet with no regard for anything else, plus one for the HomePod.Echo Dot does wireless playback too in addition to wired. Your point?
For the same $200 budget smart consumers and audio enthusiasts can access Apple Music on the free Echo Dot with something like a pair of PreSonus Eris E5 studio monitors (not one speaker but a pair) with the versatility and freedom of using it for other things like synths, PC, other music services, etc. besides Apple Music. Or, with their existing speakers with no out of pocket cost.

It all depends on what you compare it to. Does the HomePod sound better than most other crap? No doubt!
Does it really compare to any serious stuff? No way!
I mean, the speaker that plays the news in my kitchen costs like 2 HomePods and I bet you it sounds better. It has more functions than the HomePod, except a spying microphone and a useless "assistant".
I don't think the HomePod would be on my shoppinglist at any price, sorry.
To all the die hard fans thinking of getting one: if you're not reeeeaaallly into Siri, there are oh so many alternatives...
Dude don’t buy one if you don’t like it. Your problem, though I don’t what that is, is now solvedEcho Dot does wireless playback too in addition to wired. Your point?
I already own a couple of apple TVs. Can't use Siri without picking up the remote, and they are not set up to work without the television. I would basically like a homepod without the speakers that can plug into my existing stereo system. Apple TV is not even close to being that.Sounds like AppleTV is the right thing for you. You can do precisely that.
Yeah you would....if you are in the ecosystem even for speaker quality alone it’s worth itI wouldn’t even take a HomePod for free!
Puke!
Or maybe they want all the employees to have one while they are working from home?
As a former employee that could get you fired. It's available for the "Friends & Family" discount from what I've read.
1. They would never use their personal discount for a random
2. If they did and someone found out they would be fired.
If one streams to any other device(Bose, Sonos, etc)...one could stream from any app to the HomePod even if there was no subscription to Apple Music.Yeah you would....if you are in the ecosystem even for speaker quality alone it’s worth it
Asking for different functionality is not "hate." I think it is a great idea for those that want the functionality that homepod provides. But is it so hard for you to understand the homepod just does not fit into every situation?A lot of the hate for the HomePod seems to come from people that haven’t even had one.
