  • How HomePod leverages Apple's silicon expertise to deliver advanced audio performance

    My MB has harmon Kardon speakers and sounds terrible for a premium car...just saying..
    Maybe it’s just me....
    The audio equipment that most premium cars get installed at the factory is the cheap crap made by third parties. The audiophile labels are slapped onto this cheap crap under licensing agreements for which the audiophile companies get licensing fees. I didn't know this until recently when a car audio place showed me the speakers with an audiophile label that a luxury car brand installs in their cars. Then, they showed me exactly the same speaker made by the same no-brand Chinese company without the audiophile label. The speakers were identical and cost $15 each.

    Only the most expensive luxury cars use the real audiophile equipment. We are talking cars that cost significantly north of $100,000.

    Apple didn’t forget it. Apple made Siri and HomePod for Tim and his friends.

    @genovelle ;Here's one real life example:
    My wife tends to turn her volume all the way down on her phone. No matter how often I ask her not to since it makes it very hard to get hold of her she says it's her phone. Well, she's correct of course.

    So on the way to work last week I found that construction had (finally!) started on a railroad crossing on my route. It took 10-15 minutes of detour to get around it, time I could have saved by just taking a different way to begin with.  My wife uses that same route about a half hour later in the morning and I wanted to warn her about the closure. OF COURSE her phone was turned all the way down. Again.

    No problem tho: 
    Using my cellphone I said "Hey Google Broadcast the railroad crossing is closed". What did that do? It sent the announcement "the railroad crossing is closed" in my voice to every one of my Google Home units at the house miles away. She heard it, and saved herself from aggravation and being late to work. 
    Did you ever try “Find my iPhone?” Apple should have called this feature “Ping my wife”. This is the only way I can speak on the cell phone with my wife. I stopped calling her years ago because she never answers. I ping her phone via “Find my iPhone” and she calls me back within a few seconds.

  • Accessory vendors start producing coasters, stands, and bags for Apple's HomePod

    I’m about to release a HomePod pot that is suspended by three chains and is mounted in place of the chandelier. The force of the air expelled by the speakers makes the HomePod swing like a pendulum. The louder the sound, the higher the swing amplitude. It will be available on Amazon for $149. Music played via the HomePod will knock you off your feet. Literally.
