According to Gurman’s report in Bloomberg multi-person conferencing with FaceTime is being explored but probably won’t be ready. But what we will probably get is Animoji integrated into FaceTime. Seems like messed up priorities, unless multi person FaceTime is so difficult to implement and Animoji is easy? But who’s asking for Animoji in FaceTime?!?

Well if I was Samdung maybe pick a feature that is actually worth copying...the Animoji is a gimmick. I would be curious how many users send these on a frequent basis.

Still think this device is an IQ test.
$350 for a mono speaker the size of a roll of toilet paper that cannot be used with an Apple TV and is chained to Apple HW and services. 
Add in it costs $280 to fix.

I would call that a throwaway speaker from the company that makes throwaway computers, phones and tablets. Apple is fighting Right to Repair everywhere so you can stay on the treadmill and buy your stuff right on schedule.

Not very green Tim. Most e-waste does not get properly recycled- including Apple's stuff.

I am still upset that they destroyed all book stores so going to avoid them. 

I kinda of agree.  Now that they dont have the tax benefit working for them it seems their prices aren't what they used to be. 
Seriously what does Amazon do?  They are just a giant middle man.  That's it. 

And bookstores or any other big box store aren't middle men? Even a company, like Sears, which puts their name on countless products, mostly sold goods from other vendors.
