A couple months ago, Apple announced that the HomePod would be coming on December 2017. It didn't, so most of us, Apple users, were waiting for the HomePod to come out. You can buy it already, but...
Is it worth it?
You should buy it if:
You have an Apple Music subscription. HomePod works way better with Apple Music, is not the same with Spotify, a third-party company will never work better than the same company. Also, I've noticed by myself that there are more songs on Apple Music (around 45 million) than Spotify (around 30 million), and well-known songs like: Holy Grail (feat. Justin Timberlake) - JAY Z , Empire State of Mind (feat. Alicia Keys) - JAY Z and much more, because you can have your whole iTunes library plus all the songs that you have from Apple Music itself. This means you can download music legally (in some countries) and have it with all with your Apple Music songs. There are no limits!
You have some HomeKit-comaptible devices. We are, literally, in the future, where you can simply say something and execute the action without even moving your hand. Smart accesories are a huge advantage when we are talking about a virtual assistant (Amazon Echo, Google Home, HomePod), because it can control everything in the house, literally, even outlets.
You shouldn't buy it because:
It does not have it's full potential. Right now, there are some features announced that haven't been released yet like Airplay 2, hands-free calling. These features (and more) will be available soon within some updates on HomePod and iOS.
I think that's the only reason I wouldn't buy it. The HomePod is the best virtual assistant and smart speaker available in the market right now. I also love the sensors, how it will sync and the way of streaming music is very intelligent, another reason why the HomePod is unique.

What is a HomePod?Basically, is a smart speaker that can also control your HomeKit-supported devices, like light bulbs, thermostast, locks, windows, everything.
What can I do with it?You can put some music, either from Apple Music or Spotify (use Apple Music to have it's full potential, otherwise, it would not worth it), you can, like I said, control your smart devices, make hands-free calls (coming on a future update), connect 2 of them for streaming the same music through all the house (also on a future update), ask the News, Weather, read your text messages, anything. It's Siri in a speaker.
