6 reasons Alexa is still the best smart home assistant

Look, I’m an Apple guy through and through. I’ve had an iPhone for nearly 10 years. I write on a MacBook, my iPad lives on the couch, and yeah, I wear an Apple Watch daily. HomeKit should’ve been the obvious pick for my smart home. But after unifying all my smart devices under one app, I landed on Alexa instead — which caught me off guard. Siri and Google Assistant do certain things well, sure. For running an actual connected home, though, Amazon keeps winning in the ways I care about most.
