I have 2 HomePods in my living room connected to my Apple TV 4K and for watching tv and movies they sound great. I thought that because I subscribed to iTunes Match I would have an easy time accessing all of my music but that has not proven to be the case at all. Often times I am just casting music to them with is not the experience I had in mind when I decided to order them. I too, like some others have mentioned have Alexa devices in the house and most times I walk into another room in the house to ask Alexa a question or set a reminder because HomePod either can’t do it or it just doesn’t understand the question. For 2 speakers that pack in an A8 they are very disappointing all while my cheap echo dot and fire stick are constantly adding new skills and interesting ways to interact with them. If Apple wants to stay in this market they have a very long way to go not only in price but also performance. If Siri still sucks then what is the point of introducing a HomePod mini?

This is not a product that I wish Apple to have a regular and a “pro” version of. Seems like the iPhone 14 and AW8 will be basically the same except for the “pro” versions.

The video is pure nonsense. The SE doesn't even have Touch ID yet. Also we are supposed to believe the SE2 would somehow get the dual camera? Honestly it looks more like an iPhone 9 of something of that nature since there is claims Apple wants a lower cost X. Looks like a non-glass back and thus lack of wireless charging might help lower costs.

The se has the first generation Touch ID, but not the second generation that debuted with the 6s. 

Looks like someone is trying to get attention. 

Siri struggles to control a few switches and lights in my house. It’s very laughable that Apple thinks Siri can manage a music library of this size. 

Quick scan of the comments confirms what I thought. We don’t care about NFTs anyway so thanks Apple for making it harder for this crap to survive on the App Store. 

Not a lot to be excited about but this will be a nice replacement for my series 4 that has served me well the last few years. 

Let’s see if Apple does anything to keep all these people (myself included) subscribed. If it weren’t for my iPhone purchase I would not have this mediocre service. 

Gross.....
