I have several all over the house and they work great.

My 9-year-old loves his. He's got rope lights in a few places in the house, and he can tell Siri (via a homepod mini) to turn on/off his reading lights or desk lights and so on.

Here's what doesn't make sense to me.

There are TONS of HomeKit enabled light switches. So the entire switch is inside the electrical box in the wall.

So far I can find a grand total of ONE outlet that is HomeKit enabled. As in, the outlet itself, not needing to plug in a big chunky brick into an existing outlet. I wish there were more options here!

$95 million?!? Nice... So I'll get, what, 10 cents on a stupid prepaid Visa card, right?

Consider:

Apple makes a HUGE deal about privacy. I believe Tim Cook said it is at the core of everything they do.

If that were the case, they would not hesitate to spend FAR more than a paltry $90 million to prove in a court of law that they do not do what is alleged in this lawsuit. 

Instead, by settling, it is a tacit admission of guilt.

Therefore, there exist one of two possibilities:

1. Apple does indeed save and sell Siri recordings to advertisers.

or

2. Their legal team consists of a bunch of idiots who can't see the big picture.

Which is more likely?
