And not one pic showing the HomePod Mini with the power adapter and cable attached...

You might be on to something! Just a quick check and they do the same thing with the original HomePod, Mac Pro, iMac, Mac mini, alert the NYT!

Apple users used to be able to smell propaganda but maybe not any more. The China you’re describing isn’t the one my sister has lived in for the last 10 years.
Maybe you should ask yourself why we’re demonising a country/ideology - just like we did before we started our Islamic holocaust.

Then your sister is either living in ignorance, or sugarcoating what the Chinese government is doing.

Where does one start with China?  Hmmm

The "re-education" Uygur muslim camps?

Tibet?
I.P. theft of just about everyone outside China

Illegal militarizing of South China Sea
Illegal fishing pretty much worldwide

Good ole' Hong Kong
Oh... let's not forget Tiananmen Square... that's a people-favorite... since China oppresses pretty much any of its own citizens that threaten's the government.

Shall I keep going?

To be fair you can’t expect China news to cover any of that stuff, so it’s very possible she doesn’t know it’s going on.

What world are these commercials made in? No one is wearing masks, not very realistic. 

They’re pretending it’s November 4th.

Nope. A million dead globally, 220,000 US dead and counting. It's not going away in November. 

Was supposed to be two million back in summer. In any other year it would have been a bad flu season.

Uhm, the two million COVID19 death estimate was based on Epidemiologists modeling a zero response. Clearly, there was a response, both late, and inadequate.

Thanks to lack of masking and social distancing by some of our population, we'll likely have 275,000 deaths by years end.

Good news for the rest of us mask wearers though; mask wearing, hand washing, and just people being more careful overall, is reducing the impact of the Flu!

Bears for the win!

No it was not. That was including the measures taken. And those numbers would have been a heck of a lot lower had 5 governors not spike them. Approximately 6% of that magical death number are people who have actually died from just COVID. The survival rates of people under 70 with no other issues is staggering. We destroyed more lives and businesses from our over reaction than the virus could ever have done. Don’t believe me? Look at the new reports from the CDC.

I'm so glad my 2019 iMac was an anomaly and missed out on the T2 chip. Seems to be nothing but trouble.

Wonder if my 2016 MBP with the T1 is susceptible to these same breeches? 

Surprised the AR function is not available in the store app.
