I bought my first one on sale from B&H as a birthday gift to myself and to see what it could do. It was a little rough around the edges as far as Siri but the sound was very good for its size. I used it for the sound output from my bedroom Apple TV. It was annoying that you had to constantly reset the sound output from Apple TV but Apple fixed that. Then Apple updated the operating system to make stereo pairing and fixed the Apple TV output flaw so I picked up a matching Homepod also on sale. I couldn’t be more pleased. The sound is great for a mini home theater in my bedroom. Yes, it doesn’t have bone rattling base but the base is exceptionally good for a speaker that size. In summary, I’m a happy customer and I hope support continues for a long time but the whole thing does expose the limited life of smart speakers compared to ‘dumb’ speakers which can always be upgraded by buying a new receiver. 

I’m hoping for a dividend bump. 

Nothing stoped competing products from creating their own apps to find their tags. In fact, they did just that. 

Why didn't he just download the movies and music? You don't have to be connected to the internet to access your purchased movies and music. I do that all the time when I'm on vacation. I watch the movies that I purchased and downloaded (or rented and downloaded and view within the allotted time). Not so sure what happens with apps though if your account is terminated. If the guy was honest, he would say why Apple terminated his account.

That will make a lot of people happy!
