If you're looking to redefine the way you listen to music, the HomePod may be the device you've been waiting for.

Sitting at just under 7 inches tall, the HomePod houses over 40 million songs in its library, so individual music tastes will be considered and new music will be suggested accordingly.
In addition to offering musical entertainment, the HomePod can also be used as a home assistant. Ask Siri to send iMessages, share the latest in world news, and even manage smart home devices.
