Why Apple’s HomePod targets home entertainment, not a voice-first mobile-free world

Imagine turning your home into the bridge of the Star Trek Enterprise, where a disembodied voice deftly answers every question you can ask, and you don’t carry an iPhone or iPad anymore. Unfortunately, you also can’t unlock your doors, you can’t go outside, the brands you like are replaced with generic alternatives, and popular games, creative apps and other content aren’t available anymore. This is the fantasy future of Amazon Alexa–but fortunately not the vision of Apple’s new HomePod.
