Sonos One feet leaving same white marks on wood furniture that the HomePod can
jbdragon said:This is just silly. I'd be pissed with white rings on my tables from a speaker. So now I have to think about what kind of table I place my speaker on? Now pointing out that the SONOS 1 does it also. This is bring back Steve Jobs coming out and showing how holding other phones just right blocks the antenna also as the iPhone 4. Do wee really need to go back to that kind of thing?
The simple fact is, Apple didn't have to use Silicon. If that was rubber on the bottom, it wouldn't matter what table you placed it on, it would be fine. There would be no markings. This is really just another design flaw. Tell it as it is. These excuses are weak. Now we have #ringgate!!
This is a issue that didn't have to exist. To me, it's more poor testing from Apple. I don't know if it's just so afraid of leaks that outside testing is really locked down?!?! Doing everything in the LAB is not REAL WORLD. This looks like it's going to be another Class Action on Apple. It just didn't have to be this way. Stop with the lame excuses on this.
Quit your crybaby mode please. -
Estimates peg HomePod build cost at $216, Apple's margin smaller than competitors
foggyhill said:So, its a bit like the Airpods, wonder if that's a new Apple strategy, sure seems like it.
By the way these wireless earphones were tested for a Dutch newspaper and the Airpods were rated the highest (8.5). The test was done by Tweakers who are very biased towards Android. -
