The HomePod currently runs $349 - several times the price of the entry-level Echo Dot. That’s still well behind the 83 million paid subscribers Spotify announced back in July, but this addition should help give Amazon an added advantage against Google’s Home devices, particularly here in the States, where the bulk of Apple Music subscribers reside.įor Apple’s part, the offering brings Music to much more accessible hardware. The company cracked 50 million subscribers earlier this year. Adding Apple Music will help the popular smart home products tap into a rapidly growing service. The new skill lets users play specifics songs, genres, playlists and the Beats 1 station through the smart speakers. Instead, Echo smart speakers offer native support for a decent cross-section of streaming services, including Pandora, Spotify, iHeartRadio and TuneIn.
