| Google Home Max vs Apple HomePod |
And it does not take long for Google and Apple to launch their own version of smart speakers. If Amazon has Echo, then Apple has Homepod and Google has Home Max. Here's a comparison between Apple HomePod and Google Home.
Quality Speakers
One of the shortcomings of Amazon Echo is its poor sound quality. Amazon seems to focus on Alexa's ability to take orders, so forget the sound quality. Unlike Apple Homepod and Google Home Max, which is promising sound quality like other high end speakers.
Google Home Max comes with two tweeters measuring 0.7 inch, and two woofers. While Homepod is claimed to have 7 tweeters with a 4 inch subwoofer. Judging from its form, it seems that Apple Homepod can provide even more uniform sound quality for the room.
Support Music Applications
Nowadays, I think almost everyone is listening to songs / music right from a streaming music app. Whether it's Apple Music, Spotify or any other domestic streaming service. For that reason, the ability of smart speakers to play music from streaming services is something to be considered.
Unfortunately, Apple Homepod is only able to play music from Apple Music only. While Google Home Max is able to play music from Google Play Music, Spotify Premium, and Youtube Premium.
Smart Assistant
This one feature seems to be the feature that the comparison will be most subjective. Especially for us who use Indonesian daily. The ability of each assistant to run the command depends on the ability to recognize English from our non-native speakers.
But overall, the comparison between Google Assistant and Siri is actually quite simple. Google Assistant is smarter for commands that give instructions and questions. While Siri, more suitable to talk to ordinary.
