Apple Offers Employees Deep Discounts on HomePod, Beats Headphones and More

[Q-Dog]

Oh of course. It’s not for everyone. But I’m referring more to comments like “I wouldn’t take it if it were free” “it’s junk” etc. I can guarantee those people have never used it.

Of course they haven't used it. Do you regularly buy things that don't fit into your lifestyle? That would be pure stupidity. Seriously, what a dumb thing to say.

I'll buy a Home Pod of they have a $100-off sale in Canada at Best Buy.

BB doesn’t like to offer many discounts on Apple products in Canada I feel.

No physical mic disable switch = no buy.

I doubt you’d buy many Apple devices anyway based on your usual negativity on these forums.

 

[ericwn]

How will employees buy them with the stores closed?

Ever heard of online stores?

 

[ericwn]

It has microphones so you wouldn't buy it anyway.

You're very passionate about your dislike for HomePod.

We get it's not for you.

That person is a passionate hater full stop. Always trying to find something negative in any news here. It’s getting very predictable.

I already had speakers throughout the house. I was only interested in a home assistant device so went with...15 or so Amazon Dots.

Apple missed the market terribly with the HomePod.

Luckily not the topic of the article.

Actually it certainly was one of several topics raised in the article.

As a former employee that could get you fired. It's available for the "Friends & Family" discount from what I've read.

1. They would never use their personal discount for a random
2. If they did and someone found out they would be fired.

I get that. And with times like these, the last thing I want is for someone to lose their job.

Oh yeah.

Hi, HomePods in Stereo user here.

If you think one sounds good, a Stereo Pair is on an entirely different level. It's just a shame Apple has borked using them as speakers for the Apple TV since iOS/tvOS 12.

Luckily, that's 15 less Bezos Ears spread out across the world.

The post I quoted did indeed purchase 15 of those data mining things.
