How does Hey Siri work with multiple devices in the same room? Is it still buggy? As it is now for me on the latest software, if I raise my wrist and say Hey Siri to my Apple Watch, my iPhone also activates Siri at the same time. Will I now have three devices activating Siri every time?

I haven't had the problems you describe here with my watch and iPhone, so my experience may be different. That said:

If my iPhone is laying in front of me and I say "Hey Siri," the phone lights up but then stops listening, defaulting to the HomePod. However, if my iPhone is unlocked, it takes precedence over the HomePod. Works well for me.

Ok, thanks for the response. Maybe one day I'll try factory restoring my devices or something. I know I've read they're supposed to automatically just choose one device, but it's always been hit or miss for me. Rarely it will just choose one, usually I get Siri surround sound.

I had the next Mini (with the Retina) until recently. It worked fine browsing the web and doing basic things. But it did get laggy when trying to multitask between, say Spotify, Facebook, and iMessage texting. I wasn’t using it as much anymore so I sold it. But it still worked fine and I’m sure someone can get use out of it. I also have an old iPhone 5C. Sure it can’t run the latest OS, and it’s not super fast, but it still works fine as a backup phone.

I waited too long to order the Apple Watch, so I had a wait time of 5 weeks, but I didn't want to wait. so on a whim I checked out the Grand Central New York store around 11am. It took me just over two hours to walk out. They still had quite a few versions in stock, but when it was my turn to put in my reservation, they didn't have my space gray aluminum 42 cellular with gray band. A few other models looked missing too. I just got the olive strap band instead. However, as I was waiting, after I put in my reservation, I saw two huge carts wheeled in with piles and piles of boxes. So they might've been temporarily out of the one I wanted when I put in my reservation, then maybe they replenished again. I think it was around 12:30pm when I saw the piles of boxes wheeled in.

I really don't understand the reason for these after market head units. Are people with really old cars with no built in multimedia screens going to pay $400 for a new receiver?

I think there are two or three markets, perhaps they are dwindling though, so I'm not sure what their long-term roadmap is. I see the high school kids with rust buckets that love these awful looking colorful flashy lights things to pimp their rides. Then there are people truly doing custom and high end audio systems and for whatever reason need or prefer aftermarket head units. Maybe they need the preouts for their amps or something. Then there are people like me. I have a 2015 Subaru Impreza that I am perfectly content with, except I wanted CarPlay. Sure, the new 2017 Impreza has it built-in, but I didn't want to buy a whole new car. So I got the Sony unit, and I'm pretty happy with it.
