If you are fully invested into homekit, like I am, Siri is just fine and the speaker sounds GREAT! Siri blows Alexa out of the water, don't know about google home...need Apple to release smaller cheaper version for other rooms in the house that don't need the big speaker, like the basement, laundry room...etc If you think homekit sucks, or that Siri isn't robust, that's on YOU for not knowing how to setup homekit correctly, running correct automations, using Shortcuts PERIOD...does Siri sometimes not understand you, sure, but they all screw up like that...right now I use Siri for everything, and have Alexa shows just for video drop in....I never talk to Alexa, Siri is just way better
