Apple should come out and say “We really don’t see the point of a product like this, but IF it is a success we will, of course, release one. We don’t expect that to happen, though”.

They look fine to me, and will work well as lamps on bedside tables.

The criticism of the E12 base is very odd - there's no end of E12 lamps available at a good range of power ratings. For example Philips do a 6W lamp with 470 lumen output which would be very bright in a light like this.

As far as the inability to pair this with a shelf speaker - I would imagine this is because the sound characteristics will be unavoidably different given the difference in the form factor.

I would give these more than 3.5 out of 5 myself, and it is great to see the broadening of the range of this type of product.

Well I’m totally happy with my 6S and (1) don’t want to lose my headphone jack, (2) don’t want a bigger phone because it won’t fit in my pocket, (3) don’t need any more performance, and (4) don’t want to pay the price for a newer phone (even though I could happily afford to).

In fact I am so satisfied with what the 6S offers that I have just bought another one for £299 from John Lewis while I can still buy a brand new one. I have also replaced my wife’s 6S with another one when she dropped it in the water, and my daughter’s 6 with a 6S.

I know that in time we will have to upgrade when iOS no longer supports the 6s satisfactorily, but for me it will be a sad day.

At a time when one can buy entirely decent recently introduced Android phones for around the £200 mark I just dont get how Apple thinks they can stay above critical mass with the prices they are expecting people to pay for their new phones.

If you're going to review kit of this type, why not review the Draytek range? A vast range of products with an immense spectrum of capability, and very professional functionality. Wi-Fi strength is only one aspect of a product's utility, but it seems like you are disproportionately interested in this rather than the other much more important capabilities. And no ethernet back-haul at all? They can't expect to be taken seriously, surely?

What about GeoPort? Definitely an obsolete port, and definitely not featured in the article! Technically quite interesting because of the direct connection ir provided from the DSP in AV Quadras.
