I wonder if Apple is about to shake up the hi fi speaker market just like they have done before with other products? What seems to be a potential game changer is incorporating computer hardware and software into a mass market speaker as opposed to super expensive gear. Will there be a whole range of Apple HomePod speakers in 3 years time?

I have just viewed all four ads. Apple should be ashamed, they are the worst ads l have seen by them.

The ads seem to be trying to use an old advertising trick of flashing words quickly to embed them subconsciously in the views’ minds. This Is not allowed  for TV adverts in my country.  

If this is the best Apple can do l think it says something about Apple’s low priority to the HomePod. Sorry Apple but this has created the wrong feelings in my mind about the HomePod. 

Seriously? Each ad starts off with the word HomePod clearly displayed on the screen. There's nothing subliminal about it.

Thank you for your reply Soli.

It’s not so much the way HomePod is flashed on on off in various ways, although that is part of it, it’s the other message. If you missed it at the end, it’s  ‘Order now “. This is a method  which l would have not expected from Apple. If it does not bother you that’s fine, but for me it gives totally the wrong impression and puts me off. Apple can and have done better. 

Hello Daniel 

l really enjoy your history of tech development that appears in your articles. Have you ever thought of bring them together in a book about the history of Apple? I think it would be a fascinating to read.
