I can't purchase them because the CONTINUE button on the purchase screen is greyed out.

Select a colour and whether you want engraving or not.

Oh. I did select a colour but I didn't know I had to click on anything else. Thanks. I wonder how many other people are going to fail to purchase them because of this "feature" of the website.

The website is not the reason why people won't buy them.  The ridiculous price, ugly appearance, and a case that looks like a purse or a bra is the reason why people will not buy these.

Love that the cheap material holding the two sides together fails after about 200 'folds'.  This has to be the biggest joke of a product Apple has ever made, and talk about overpriced!  You can charge faster with the $19 USB-C charger and your included cable, and carry less with you while traveling to charge your devices!

The macOS Mojave 10.16.6 update released Friday

10.16 is what Big Sur would have been if it hadn't been turned up to 11.

And they hadn’t changed the UI
And they hadn’t recompiled it for the new chipset
And they hadn’t added support for iOS apps on the new chipset. 

Yosemite got an entire new UI and it was still 10.10.  Big Sur is 10.16 because it is just eye-candy.  The OS is still the same UNIX-based kernel.  OS X also ran on two chipsets...PowerPC and Intel, from the very beginning.  iOS apps on the Mac are pretty much a disaster if you read any reviews.

For $19, you can buy Apple's USB-C charger and charge your phone at the full 20W with the lightning cable.  For $129 + $49, you can charge at only 14W.  For $129 + $19, you can charge at a measly 11w.  This being a product that requires two hands to get your phone off the magnet without causing your watch to fly across the room.  And a product so cheaply made, only the cheap plastic material holds the two sides together.  Who would fall for this?  Talk about getting ripped off.

How to change the default music app on HomePod

https://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/977789

The ability to change default music services came with IOS 14.  I use Apple music so I haven't been able to test this, but at this point Apple has given the ability with IOS 14.

HomePod runs tvOS, not iOS.  Apple refuses to allow Spotify on the HomePod because they want to push their own Apple Music service.  That is what they hoped HomePod would do, but unfortunately, that did not work out so well when HomePod didn't fly off store shelves, even when marked down to $199.  So no matter what is featured in iOS 14, you cannot change the default music service to Spotify for Siri to control on the HomePod.  Apple controls what you can listen to.
