The HomePod has too much horsepower to simply be a speaker/home personal assistant.  To work it must be installed throughout the home with larger homes and spaces requiring more than one.  Each one needs to be powered. It depends on a steady wifi signal. It is pretty clear that the HomePod will or should be a mesh wifi router network as well.  With that said, AirPort routers and Time Capsules will most likely be updated ahead of iOS 11s release.

Not only has their been no indication of a router update but their have been multiple stories saying Apple is completely out of the router business now going back months. So, why do you think they may be updated?

Any information yet on whether or not the HomePod can be used with an iTunes Match subscription instead of having to subscribe to Apple Music?  If an Apple Music subscription is a must, this will be a deal killer for me.

Took the question right out of my brain. I wish they would have explained this.....I am out if I need Apple Music

Fucking hate these assholes and their godamn bombs. Horrible reading that the nut came to rest in her nose, I'm sure the phone slowed it down at least. I hope Apple sees this and sends her a new one. Hope the best for the survivors...

Asshole is right. Manchester arena is a stones throw from where I grew up. To think that asshole picked this concert because he knew it would be a magnet for young innocent people, the all powerful all seeing omniscient god, except he needs dumb fucks to carry out his will?? 

It is incredibly sad that people take what is supposed to be a holy book that does not mention murduring civilians and twist it to fit their own ideology. It is interesting that smart phones make it easier for terrorist to chat anonymously yet (like the Boston bombing) easier to find them due to the sheer volume of pictures taken. 

Samsung needs to figure out how to sell original note 7s to these monsters.....the problem would slowly take care of itself. 

One final note: what if facial recognition becomes the primary way to unlock phones in the future. Image: terrorist ties iPhone to bomb as detonator. Apple hacks it and next time they login with recognition Apple has it detonate because their face was on a watch list!

I feel that so many miss the fact that this is a brand new kaby lake i7 vs a custom designed, 2 year old arm chip. I just don't think 1.7x faster in this case is anything at all impressive...
