    Pressing Shift will also temporarily enable the sounds pops if they are silenced.

  • Apple considers cheaper HomePod in face of lackluster sales

    What did they expect? They made a super niche speaker that’s super pricey and not at all portable or really compatible outside of apples ecosystem. Like I’ve never had the urge to buy a Sonos speaker, because I’ve always had an actual home entertainment system at home. And between Siri being half baked and having lots of inadequacies and HomeKit still feels like a beta, it’s not really worth it from a smart speaker perspective either. You basically need an iOS device to use it... which you can literally use for all of the hey Siri commands on their own. So you’re basically limiting it to someone who wants a very limited stationary speaker with good sound quality and who want to pay a premium for it. I can’t think of a single use for a HomePod in my house and I’m sure a lot of others feel exactly the same way.
    The HomePod was never meant to be a portable speaker. Even the speakers from the competition such as Amazon and Google aren't portable either. I have no clue why people always complain the HomePod isn't portable. There is a separate market for portable speakers. 
    A five pound speaker isn’t portable? Try lugging my 200 lb Ampeg 810 around. 

    Edit: I exaggerated a bit, it weighs 140 pounds.

    I work for the IATSE Stagehands Union. I work lots of concerts and see all kinds of high end video, audio, and pyrotechnic gear on a fairly regular basis. I see lots of cheese grater Mac Pros in rack boxes, and I see lots of MacBook Pro laptops, but I have yet to see a cylinder Mac Pro on a tour. That doesn’t mean they are not being used, but to me says that the tour guys and girls are hanging on to the older Pros, and I have no doubt they are upgraded as far as possible.
