I would like to see Barclay Banks as Apple's credit card partner. Apple used to have a relationship with Barclay and there were hard feelings when Apple switched to GS for their branded card.
Without comparing the audio quality of the Sonos 300 vs the HomePod, this comparison isn't very useful. Personally, I would probably want a pair of Sonos 300s and a HomePod mini in a room. The mini could handle Siri requests or even tell the Sonos what to play.
I’m a Carl Hiassen fan and I am looking forward to seeing this made into a series. If you haven’t read any of his books, he is quite funny and a great storyteller.
I’m guessing that Barclays was understandably unhappy that Apple chose GS to offer the Apple credit card. I hope they continue the iTunes rewards program. It pays for my iTunes subscription and all of the software I purchase from the app store.
