In our house we LOVE the Home Pod. Will be picking up at least 3 of the mini version.
We never planned this but in a house of 5, there are 2 macs, 5 iPhones, 6 iPad's, 5 Apple Watches, 4 sets of air pods, 1 set of Powerbeats (ear loops required), 3 Apple TV's, Apple Music Family and Apple TV + that is a year old now and just got extended until Feb. We will be upgrading to Apple One family plan when the Apple TV + sub runs out. Quite possibly Premier after checking out the fitness +.
Again none of that was planned, Apple stuff just works and the ecosystem just keeps getting better and better. We are NEVER going to use Android for trust reasons so anything Google or Amazon is dead to us. I love my Xbox for gaming and use Office 365 Home but the rest of Microsoft is a broken mess especially for consumers. We have Windows compters in the house that are used for school (school laptops) and work (work provided).
