Apple\u2018s Siri recently completed 10 years<\/a>. Days later, the company has unveiled a $5 Apple Music Voice plan that works only through the digital assistant \u2014 seemingly targeting HomePod owners.<\/p>\n

At its MacBook Pro event<\/a>, the company announced this new Apple Music plan \u201cdesigned around the power of Siri.\u201d At the outset, it looks like a weird move. Why would I need Siri to play music when I can control it through my iPhone or iPad?<\/span><\/p>\n

The new music plan has plenty of caveats. You can access all 90 million+ songs on Apple Music, but only by issuing voice commands to Siri. Apple says that the company\u2019s experts have curated special playlists such as \u201cdinner time playlist\u201d or \u201cchill playlist.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can subscribe to this plan through the Apple Music app or by saying \u201cHey Siri, start my Apple Music Voice trial.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So what will you see when you open the Apple Music app? The company says that you\u2019ll \u201cget a customized in-app experience with suggestions based on the listener\u2019s music preferences.\u201d Plus, you can see the history of the music you\u2019ve played through Siri.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to the iOS 14.5 update, Apple only let you play tracks through Siri only on Apple Music. But now, you can access apps like Spotify through voice commands<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t use Siri much apart from setting an occasional reminder or asking it for the weather condition. And unless I unsubscribe from Apple Music\u2018s full plan, and then decide to buy a HomePod Mini, this plan doesn\u2019t make sense to me. What\u2019s more, I\u2019m not entirely sure if Siri will be able to accurately identify and play titles from Indian regional languages.<\/p>\n

This plan is for people who use Spotify (or any other service) on their iPhones, and aim to buy a HomePod Mini, which sadly works only with Apple Music. Plus, Apple Music Voice might entice the \u201cI don\u2019t listen to the music\u201d crowd into casual listening while working.<\/p>\n

The plan will be available later this fall in 17 countries including the US, UK, Germany, Australia, and India. <\/span><\/p>\n
