I dunno.., having money sitting around in accounts like (or on debit cards, or Starbucks cards or what have you) instead of in higher risk/higher reward investments seems a waste to me. Just having money in a savings account these days loses money through inflation.

So a flat 10% bonus on your investment seems like a waste to you? On annualized basis that essentially risk free return on your money is huge and can't be matched anywhere else without making junk level investments that are highly unlikely to ever pay off.

If you put $100 on your Apple ID plus the $10 bonus and used it in three months the APR is 40%. If you take a year to spend it the return is still 10%. That seems like a waste to you?

In the politest way possible I can say it to you, you don't have any idea what you are talking about or are as uneducated about simple personal and consumer finance as someone can be.

Your last paragraph was unnecessary. I’d appreciate it if we can keep comments to be about issues and avoid personal attacks.

How does the sound compare to AirPods?

 Does Apple read Apple insider?  You make some good points. It often feels like they are “asleep at the wheel” when things that seem so basic are missing for so long.

Since it is actually a computer, some things I would have included above are:

- A visual interface for HomePod via the Apple TV (and/or iPhone or any AirPlay 2 enabled SmartTV), not just for controlling HomePod settings but for displaying HomePod generated information such as song details, Siri answers, HomeKit actions, etc. 

- A small accessory HomeKit device - or better yet, an upgraded Apple TV - that turns the HomePod (and/or AppleTV) into a wireless receiver so it can play content from my phonograph, tape player, CD and DVD players via Bluetooth/WiFi and adds a camera for FaceTime calls.

And price bundles such as Apple TV + HomePod combo for $349-$374 or Stereo (2) Home Pods for $549. (Throwing in a 6-12 mo subscription to Apple TV+ would be awesome too.)

I’m surprised at AI’s uncharacteristic comparison of Apples and Oranges. I would want to know how the battery life of similar sized screens/devices compare. A more helpful article would compare the S9 vs. X vs. S9 Plus vs. 8 Plus. And a comment from Apple regarding the 99% reading after 16 hours would be helpful too.
