80 things Apple says you can ask Siri on HomePod

Siri is fast and accurate

I’ve been going through all the available literature to put together this collection comprising almost everything Apple says you can ask Siri on HomePod, supplementing this previous list.

After a few days of working with the HomePod, I can vouch for its abilities at music playback. I’ve tried it in several rooms, with different music, different volumes — music is uniformly high quality. Move it around and the intelligence in the device will seamlessly adjust how the music sounds to create a wide and pleasing soundstage with excellent clarity and tone. Apple really has succeeded in this.

If you’ve been using iOS at all, then you probably already know that Siri has also improved quite remarkably in the last few weeks, becoming much, much better at understanding music related commands.

Without further ado, here’s the list…
