Apple's problem is software. It is ridiculous hundreds of millions of iPhone users have to install and updates new iOS weekly. Monthly may be a more reasonable period. I refuse to install iOS 11 because I hate the constant reminder from Apple to install new OSs which are mainly to fix bugs and some are not ever related to my phone.
You have a choice: go for Android. Bugs are expected in every new released OS on new handsets. It’s good that Apple takes care of it in a week. For Android, you’ll wait for months!

Ugh, who cares. Cancel it and create a proper home-hub. There is zero market demand for an overpriced semi-smart speaker. People who care about sound quality are going to buy real speakers; people who want home automation are going to buy a cheap Echo Dot. Stop letting 50+ year olds make product decisions based on hi-fi wet dreams of yesteryear.
Good. They weren't going to release it in Canada this year anyway. If I can't have it, you can't either. Exactly how it should be. Also something Apple forgets all too often- Google Apple Pay Cash or CarPlay speed limits for details.
If it's delayed, that has to mean they haven't even started manufacturing yet. And yet from the previews, it seemed totally designed. So something must be wrong with it and I'll ask the question I've asked before: sales and marketing aside, what exactly is it that everyone else at Apple actually does? It seems like an awful lot of employees for the relatively few products and operating systems that Apple has.

I hear you! I too HATE the “we regularly update our apps to...”. If they would just say “because we can’t afford talent to do it eighth the first time on time” at least I’d respect them. However, I will grant you that cyber security will never rest so there is an element of that, too. I think like you, however, that monthly is frequent enough for the ecosystem of apps and iOSes.
- airplay 2 is harder to execute than expected (seems unlikely as it largely replicates what is available when streaming from the Mac to airplay speakers) - there were unannounced surprise features (only think this as the announced features did not seem so groundbreaking) - don't want to crowd out watch purchases for holiday (again, unlikely, as Apple seems fine with displacing its own products)
You'll note that I don't put much weight on any of my own speculations on the reason for the delay. I am super disappointed as Google Home is the worst (we bought one to see how it compared to Echo).
After people calling Elon Musk a hack and backing up their comments that Tesla will be shutting down any day now because the Model 3 isn't being produced as fast as initially intended (even though it did make it launch date) I guess we need to say the same thing about Apple and Cook (and about Jobs when he ran the company) now that Apple has once again delayed a launch date that they gave themselves.

Not just fast enough. Model 3 is in a manufacturing hell.

This could be June 30, 2018. Or not.
