I have always appreciated Apple's willingness to ruffle some feathers to do the right thing. I think this boldness is what has made them and their products great over the years. Plus 6 years is an eternity in Tech so I don't feel they are over aggressive with their strategy.

Guess my HomePod is getting returned...I will miss its superior sound and build quality.

I might well get one of these for my new MBP which arrived today ... yay!  Question; would it even function attached via TB 3 to TB2 Apple adapter connected to my late 2013 Mac Pro?

Not officially, but there are workarounds.

Thanks Mike.  So would a new i5 MacBook 13" with Touch Bar and the USB C give better results for gaming than the 2013 Mac Pro with TB adapter, hack and Xeon?

It's going to depend on the title. If it's heavily CPU-bound like Civ VI, then the Mac Pro will do better. If it's GPU mostly like most every first person shooter, then the MBP will probably be better.

Cool sounds like I can switch about as needed.  Now it's just a matter of the GPU!  ... Oh but which? 

Depends on your budget. Overall the 1080ti would be my pick.

Yaaaaaaaawn

This is complete crap.  A guy makes a lot of money and all of the sudden he is the authority on moral obligation.  If someone wants to waste their time looking at their phone all day then so be it.  Actually maybe I should open a phone addict recovery clinic...could make some real coin.
