    My biggest hope is that this isn't a doorstop in 18 months like the iPod Hi-Fi unit. That was one of Apple's big flops, and an expensive one. 
    How was the HiFi a doorstop? It was a speaker. If it worked and still works and you still enjoy listening to it, what difference does it make if Apple stopped making it after 18 months? It even had an aux-in so it wasn't even obsoleted when Apple replaced the 30-pin with Lightning.
    They even sell a bluetooth adapter that plugs into the 30-pin port. Only $20 and you can stream from any BT-enabled device!

    I am actually considering a used HiFi on eBay; while it's no HomePod, I'm just looking for nice sound around the house. This 2006 review from Stereophile is actually pretty positive on the sound quality: https://goo.gl/msUi1d
