  • HomePod is sold out, but isn't dead yet - Apple's 'end of life' explained

    JWSC said:
    This article misses the boat a bit because most of us know that Apple will not discontinue support for the HomePod anytime soon.  What is disconcerting is Apple’s decision to cancel it does leave one with the impression that Apple is rudderless with regard to product development and support.  Apple does not appear to have a “product champion” assigned as an owner to each of their products.  That’s bad news when the VP of hardware engineer in clearly has his eye elsewhere.
    Exactly! Apple has a history of not following through on things like this. They start something and then put little to no effort into marketing it or developing it. As a customer, I am losing faith in their commitment to the products as opposed to the services revenue streams. The next cool thing Apple develops, I am going to stop myself from hopping aboard and ask myself "Will Apple give up on this in a few years?"

    That kind of mistrust does not bode well for buying an Apple Car. Why in the hell would I EVER consider buying a car from a company I think my abandon it in 5 years? I wouldn't!

  • Apple reveals four-day Black Friday gift card offers

    Sounds exciting until you see the list of old stuff they are trying to move out of their warehouses. If I buy an Apple Watch series 3, I can get $35 discount card. I could barely sell my current series 3 for $50. Too bad. I was hoping for some real deals on newer gear.

  • Apple releases macOS Big Sur with redesign, Safari updates and more

    Moving along much faster now in Montreal.  

    UPDATE: "Installation failed. An error occurred while installing updates."  - Although, the download never finishes, so the updating is never even started.
