I took mine back to Apple after 24h. Why? Simple - Forced keychain & forced two factor security. I have many apple devices, ipod, ipad, iphone, airpods and love them all. I noticed the first unnecessary and invasive “obligation” as soon as I turned the Homepod on when a message appeared on my screen “two factor security is obligatory” - I refused. The homepod also requires the “Home” app and that app requires you turn on icloud keychain. If you don’t a full screen block message states “turn on keychain to continue” (Apples stealthy data logging, sensitive history and password hoarding software). Super invasive and unacceptable for a speaker. This is a wireless home speaker Apple, quit the control trip or you’ll lose users/buyers like you did with me. If I am “forced” to adopt your ludicrous attempts of securitization on another device then that will go to and be replaced by android. Keep doing it and I will rid myself of each apple device you do it on.
