Obvious isn't it?

Apple is bringing sleep tracking to Watch and iPhone.

I wonder why they didn't give out knockoff iPhones?

Oh thats right, because no one would leave the line after receiving one and it would make them look worse.

Good points, especially the holiday one. Many people are exposed to Apple Stores around this time and many for the first time will see a HomePod(especially today) who may have never heard of it.

Expect big sales from now until the end of the year.

"To argue that case, it compared the penetration of Apple TV among Apple's customers. The firm noted that just over one in five of the "Apple product buyers" it surveyed own an Apple TV, roughly in line with the adoption of Amazon's Fire TV and Roku. The Apple TV was significantly more popular than Google Chromecast or Tivo among these users.

However, "only 2 percent of Apple customers have a HomePod as of the June 2018 quarter,"

Um WHAT?
Apple TV has been available since 2007. To say HomePod is failing in comparison after being on the market for months is totally unfair and these people know it!
Edit: For all we know, HomePod could be selling out and STILL not reach Apple TV sales.

I wonder how much of the pie Apple takes?

You can bet they get almost all of digital downloads. 

No surprise.
