7 inch screen might be too big for the current HomePod. 
It would make more sense if the speaker would be bigger, similar to BOWERS AND WILKINS ZEPPELIN or NAIM AUDIO MU-SO. 

So… how exactly am I paying with my privacy? What my information Google uses to monetize?

Trying to think like Apple--there are a lot of consumers in Russia who are not like Putin and who shouldn't be considered as such. It's a difficult decision for Apple to shut down all sales to Russia (or any other country) just because of the person in charge. My hope is real Russians will stay with Apple once Putin goes away. $12M is not that much money to keep a foot in this country IF its citizens find a way to remove Putin.

It seems there are a lot of assumptions in your statement. Some of them:
- as if you know what Apple (top management) thinks about doing business in Russia
- as if those lot’s of consumers who buy Apple and support Putin are not a factor at all 
- as if you can separate supporters from non supporters of violence and genocide 
- as if the citizens will find a way to remove Putin (actually they (as a country) didn’t want to remove him for decades), as if they (as country) want to remove him (there are just too many supporters).

Yeah, I am against of any corporation to do any business in a country like Russia who invaded the neighboring country (without any physical thread from Ukraine). 
And I still love and buy Apple products…

Definitely will trade my 14 for 15 just for USB-C. 

Honestly curious; why?  Everyone clamoring for USB-C like it's going to be life changing and I just dont get it.  I couldn't possibly care less if my phone has USB C or not.  I only plug it in when I'm in the car for CarPlay.  And now I'll have to trash tons of lightning cables I already have.

Currently all my devices (MacBooks, iMac, Mac mini, iPad pros, external disks, cameras, etc) use USB-C ports. Also my car has USB-C port too. Eventually, we'll see more low power appliances with USB-C too. USB-C is the de facto standard interface for power and data; it makes no sense for Apple to keep clinging to Lightning interfaces. As soon as I get iPhone 15 with USB-C, I'll put those ridiculous lightning cables in storage and travel easily with just one cable to rule all my devices.  

Too bad all USB-C cables are not the same. Here's a pretty good guide:

https://www.chargerlab.com/how-to-choose-the-right-usb-c-to-usb-c-cable/

No one said they are. You just need one 100W capable cable for charging everything. And if you need speed make sure that it supports something above USB 3.0.

Continuous Glucose Monitor and Blood Pressure measurement in Apple Watch would make it a 1st choice medical device for millions and millions of people.
The future is bright!
