    I‘m pretty sure that Apple will kill the product soon which is an utter shame! they haven‘t even bothered to sell it in most countries around the globe...looking at recent fails including the laptop keyboards, charging mats, Apple car etc it seems as if Apple is more interested in debt funded share buybacks and financial engineering then its customers
    As soon as you mention a rumor ( Apple Car ) a failure you're whole post became nonsense. 

    Here is a list of the months and what countries Homepod has rolled out to..


    I am a customer but don't lump my into your BS narrative.

    The lack of transparency and anonymity is troubling. The article mentioned “banking information” but I wonder how many people are actually using explicit information about their account to the point it could be compromised.  My guess is zero to not very many. I mean, when was the last time you came home and said, “Hey, honey! I just wanted to let you know that I deposited that $10,000 into our Bank of America checking account # 520439203949!”?
    Making a food delivery order without an app.  I have said my debit # out loud hundreds of times. You don't have to be directly talking to the speaker for it to be listening..right?  I don't own one so I am really not 100% sure..

    Some folks give bank account info over the phone to pay a bill as well. I don't but their are people that still handle the old fashioned way, that could easily own one of these devices.

    So I agree that most people don't walk in and say hey honey just wanted to let you know.... but there are scenarios where people give sensitive info out loud while near these devices.

  • Apple Music eclipses Spotify in paid US subscribers

    Power of defaults is strong.

    Relative to the number of preinstalls, this accomplishment is incredibly poor.
    I totally agree. With nearly 600 million active iTunes accounts, this is not a home run.
    Are those active iTunes accounts all in the US?

    Why the negative spin?

    Do these paid subscribers include people like me who get Apple Music for free through Verizon?
    It's still being paid for..no?  Like "Netflix on Us".. from TMobile.. They have a cheaper $10.00 a month rate worked out, but Netflix is still paid every month for my service that I have subscribed for.

    Of course the takeaway from this is that Apple is doomed. /s
    Right! Apple has a single digit miss and they are doomed. Let’s see if there is the same response to Samsung’s 60% drop. I’m expecting lots of silence on these forums. 
    That would be the best case since this isn't a Samsung forum. But no, instead we'll be hearing a whole lotta "doomed" scenarios from those who already hated Samsung for various reasons. A multi-paragraph editorial with quotes and charts and some smattering of completely unrelated stuff would not be out-of-the-question.

    I don't think AI attracts a lot of Sammy fans (I'm certainly not one) tho I'm sure there's some users of their handsets here who use Apple gear too. 
    Some folks swing both ways. ;)
    Are you unaware of the trolls that show up here whenever there is hint of bad news for Apple? I think those folks are who the OP was referring to as being silent.
