Rumours frustrate me. However, larger watches different form factors makes sense. Larger watches, tick in my book. Longer battery life definitely. I am loving my ultra - can’t wait until the day we get all week battery life without low power mode.

More me to consider an Sonos speak, it must have Siri integrated. Period. 

This isn't Apple as they are just getting on the same band wagon, but these pay now pay later schemes are just tools to encourage people to get into debt. I deplore them. 

You can argue why are they so different from credit cards. They are not really but its more debt people will get into. 

Apple did not shrink wrap products like that. So dodgy.

Whilst, I immediately bought one (and I have the original one), I must say, I am sorely disappointed Apple did not make them work in stereo as I am sure that might have pushed some additional sales. I have absolutely no doubt they could, if they wanted to. I will definitely not be buying two of these newer version HomePods just for that, and I won't be selling my original one for that either, so Apple, you let me and others down. Hopefully, this ability will come with a future update. I get the mini HomePod and this HomePod won't be in stereo but the original HomePod and this new one most definitely could.

When my original HomePod failed (just died one day) for some random reason, Apple said it could not be repaired and I was told I had to buy a replacement. However, this was at least a year or two after then disbanded the original. I was told I was lucky that they still had some left for me to buy. Whether they kept some of the original's just for that or they realised they needed to be able to replace them, which is maybe why it came back, I am not sure.
