    Does it integrate into the Apple ecosystem? If not, then no thank you very much.
    This comment leaves me dumbfounded.  Are you expecting to control your drone from a HomePod?

  • Editorial: The mysterious curse of iPhone 6, lifted with... the headphone jack

    larryalarrya
    This long, rambling article turns out to be just another rationalization for headphone jack removal?  Thanks for wasting my time promoting an excuse (reliability) that even Apple didn’t use (they mentioned it was a dinosaur, space, and waterproofing) in a debate that ended a year ago. It seems DED also thinks the bending problem is still debatable even with the hindsight that Apple strengthened the case for the 6s.  

    A lot of what Daniel writes about the marketplace, tech journalism, and paid studies seem right on the money, but his inability to see any flaws in Apple whatsoever destroys his credibility.

    Is there a reason why the Series 2 cannot do this?
    I suspect it is making use of the altimeter in Series 3, which is present in Series 2 but not enabled (based on previous comments in other topics here).

  • Apple employees can buy HomePod at half price for limited time

    Cost is a relative thing. Perhaps Apple would have been better to introduce HomePod at $175 in order to firstly gain market share, and then move up to premium HomePodPro models. They couldn’t drop the quality though, people expect poor quality from Google and Samsung, even Amazon, but poor quality from Apple would not be tolerated, so it would have to be the same model, but at a price that doesn’t really make them money - which a lot of companies do to gain traction. That said, $349 is not a lot for an excellent speaker system, which HomePod is. Well advanced technically from the competing tinny speakers, and cheaper that Google’s premium speaker, it’s main issue is that people compare it to the little tinnies because of its similar look and size. Looking forward to receiving mine next week!
    You’ve never heard it. You have no idea how it compares. The amount of faith you demonstrate is remarkable. I truly hope you are as happy with it as you anticipate.
