I don't think Apple did a good job in explaining to their buying base... why they should buy an OLED screen at a substantial add-on cost.

My iPhone 7 Plus has a great screen. I don't think I need OLED.

If I really do... why, Apple?

Would the $200 be better spent elsewhere in my financially-deprived life?

BTW, oh yeah, I'm an Apple Guy... but, just sayin'....

Loyalty... Donald demands it.

For Apple, we just give it because there is no acceptable option.

I can't envision an iPhone user buying an Android phone for personal use. 

Historic iPhone model sales may go up and down... but no-one is going to leave Apple with current options.

Blackberry must be berry blue.

What bothers me: I will not be able to play my CD-ripped songs in iTunes with the HomePod... like I can through the Apple TV to my sound system when my Mac is on, iTunes booted, and on the network. Not being able to do that with the HomePod is a deal-killer.

If you want to pay $20 a month for Apple Music, fine, but I don't want to pay for that when all my extensive music collection is playable through my Mac and AirPlay.
(The HomePod will also know about any digital songs/albums that were bought from Apple via the iTunes Store.)

I want to be able to say to Siri, "Play Whatever-Album in iTunes." Perhaps my needed feature will come in a future firmware upgrade.. but that is not mentioned in this article... nor anywhere else that I have read.

Too bad... I was ready to buy a HomePod.

We're all computer people... I feel bad for the AMD update pioneers whose computers were trashed. What is their next step?

PC Intel users may be next with Spectre 'cures.' Be slow to update with something like this.
