Editorial: Apple note sends media pundits into a fit of histrionic gibberish
DED is the Dr. Hunter S. Thompson of the Tech Media. Take those lying bastards out and cut off their thumbs, they’ll never hit a space bar again!

Apple officially discontinues AirPort router product line, available while supplies last [...
I’m betting on a HomePod update that gives it mesh capabilities. With Bluetooth 5, it could be an iBeacon, integrating with HomeKit in useful ways. Then you’ll want one for every room. Just because no one’s talking about it doesn’t mean anything. But I can’t believe they’re ditching the wireless market, the security aspect alone is too important to not have control of. -
Apple again said to cut HomePod orders on poor sales performance
This!hmurchison saidThe market fit is phenomenal. What the HomePod is supposed to do is be the multiroom audio controller for
a wide variety of vendor products. As of now the system with the most vendor support is DTS Play-fi and it's
software is some of the weakest out there but it's nice to have a choice of hardware.
The HomePods value increases sharply when we understand how many existing products can be upgrade to Airplay 2 and
how the benefits of audio support in HomeKit play out. Right now it's hard to see the value over a more mature platform
like Sonos. -
Apple HomePod manufacturer Inventec warns of limited quantities available at Dec. launch
Has anyone considered that the HomePod, besides being a Siri speaker, could double as a WiFi mesh station, Apple's answer to Eero. In fact, with the announced Bluetooth mesh standard, it could do BT too, sure to be helpful with HomeKit. Seems like the ATV4 should be able to do that also, with the correct firmware.
