Every tech site and fanboy that comments on them will be experts in furniture finish over the next day or so. Outrage will ensue because Apple outrage drives clicks. The Verge ran a story about how the HomePod was user hostile to anyone not in Apple’s walled garden. Of course this is Apple we’e talking about and the article writer knows well what Apple’s MO is. But he wrote the article anyway because clicks. And sure enough in less than a day the article generated over 500 comments.
My guess is that silicon provides the optimum combination of vibration damping and grip on all smooth surfaces. A felt type fabric might not provide the grip needed for glass surfaces.
Right I’m saying I’m surprised the documentation in the HomePod box didn’t include a disclaimer about certain wood surfaces.
Of course there is a reason: this material is cheap.
Is it possible that it is heat projected downward off the base, from the embedded power supply, causing the ring? -- worth checking. Otherwise it is hard to fathom an inert unheated material, such as silicone, to leave a white mark.
Yes, do it 20 times. After that think about replacing this POS.Just re-oil or re-wipe, as @OldSchoolMacGuy said.
Oh and if anyone needs advice on housecleaning or homekeeping, I’m available for a small consulting fee.
Looks like three options are available to you based on what you said
If your furniture is that expensive, but it on a coaster or other protective lining like you would put any drink.
Mediocre is only defined in your focus group of 1. The broader market and sales don't indicate a "mediocre" product. The iPhone X is the best iPhone ever released in my opinion and 99% satisfaction agree.
Duh, they're not using the holder.
Pretty sure they knew especially when Apple themselves have wooden furniture at their retail stores. I wonder how they compensated for this flaw.
