Well there are better standalone speakers and there are better "smart" speakers. As it stands it doesn't really justify the premium over Sonos, Echo or Google Home. Heck at least let me use bluetooth.

Honestly, I buy Apple devices because of the cross-device integration. I grant that many of Apple’s devices aren’t the best in the category: but I find that, considered as a “computing environment”, they’re pretty hard to beat.

Also, I trust Apple’s “don’t listen for Hey Siri” feature more than the either Google’s or Amazon’s
