In our Apple HomePod 2 review, we said it offers amazing sound quality (rivaled only by the Sonos One) and works incredibly well within Apple's ecosystem, such as with the Apple TV 4K. The new HomePod also supports Matter, a new smart home standard that should make it easier to connect a greater number of devices. This is especially significant for Apple, as its smart home platform, called HomeKit, works with far fewer devices than Alexa and Google Home. (Here’s our picks for the best HomeKit devices).
