Apple released the Apple HomePod in 2017. The smart speaker incorporates voice command using Apple Siri to connect with an Apple iPhone and Apple’s HomeKit home automation control hub. This MetaFAQs reports on the number of adults in the US who actively use at least one Apple HomePod.
Note: the number of Apple HomePod users grew from 2019 to 2020, and while the above chart shows a point estimate, since it is a low incidence population, there are confidence bands to consider.
In 2019, the number of adults had a mean value of 804,000. With 8,060 respondents, then within a 95% confidence interval this could vary from 648,000 to 959,000 due to sampling error.
In 2020, the number of adults had a mean value of 1,940,000. With 7,920 respondents, this number could vary from 1,486,000 to 2,394,000 due to sampling error.
