  • Apple discontinues full-size HomePod, to focus on HomePod mini

    The HomePod is a remarkably mediocre product. 

    Wake me up when they can be used as TV speakers. Yawn. 
    What a useful post you have provided. Been able to do this for ages...
    Without an an AppleTV - a product that should be retired just for its ungodly remote - just as external speakers to any old TV (as thousands of speakers can)?

    Pray tell us how...
    Fair point - when you change the conditions of your statement, the response is indeed wrong.
    No condition was changed. Basic reading comprehension - or in its absence, seeking clarification - was assumed. 
    On its face all your original statement said was being able to use them as TV speakers. You since clarified, aka changed, that statement to add that it needed to be without the Apple TV which also gave you the chance to add your negative comments about that device as well. I’d say yeah, you changed the conditions.

    Anybody else think this message is confusing as he11 - what am I disabling - the owner of the unknown item's ability to see my location or my notification of unknown items?
    That was my reaction too. Bad wording. 
    I think that's a warning message that you're disabling notification because you're setting a safety feature slider to off, so in the context of the Settings app it probably makes more sense.
    Ah, thanks.

    This is going to be a real PAIN. Suppose I get on a train for a couple of hours and ten people are in the train with their own AirTags. Am I going to get notifications from that? How would iOS know when I'm being tracked and when I'm not? Is it just based on time? What's the time minimum that triggers the warning? An hour? A day? A week?
    If the AirTags are with the person they’re registered to you won’t see this notification.
