We have five so far in the home, including a stereo pair in my office. Incredible sound... they are replacing Sonos AMPs room by room...

That's a lot of cash to put in a building that will have an per-transaction revenue average of about $6.00... got them some PR, that's about it....

Well, I wish it were true for me - I like Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, King Crimson/Robert Fripp, and Aphex Twin  among others, and 90% of the "For You" offerings each week suck beyond belief. Why am I still being fed hip-hop or rap which I can't stand? I've set up Apple Music multiple times for genres and artists, and use the Like and Dislike buttons frequently... So the human curators are not doing a very good job of artists and genre matching - or I listen to fairly unique artists!

Oh, a rectangular pencil - that seems comfortable to hold...

...if you're a carpenter...

By 2020, I think Apple will ditch the product just like its previous boom box. By Apple standard, this is not even an acceptable number.

This was a legitimate laugh out loud...

By your measure they would have killed the Watch too.

They are now becoming ubiquitous...

I have three HomePods and love them - they offer incredible sound per pound, and that's the main purpose for me for now. "Smart" will come over time. There is NO rush for that. It is so early in the curve you can't even see the first bend.
