First HomePod Orders Start Arriving to Customers in Australia

[halluxsinister]

Apple Ping, Apple Music Connect, Mac Pro (trashcan design), G4 cube, Apple Lisa, Apple Newton, first 4 generations of the Apple TV. I could go on...

Edit: Forgot to mention the iPod Hi-Fi stereo, which is the grandparent to the HomePod and was a large failure as well.

Apple is considered a massively successful company because their fanboys have Apple-Induced Mass Amnesia, or... iAmnesia. Starting at $4,999 and available in a vast array of colors, like Space Gray, and Rose Gold.

Apple should launch in Australia a day later. Their homeland should not be the lastest in receiving their own products. It should be the first one.

Nawww should we call the Waaaambulance? We here love Apple and are very vocal about it. Much higher percentage of iOS users to the competitors than the US so it makes sense.

Love it! It'll be a flop but they'll forget it was even a flop

This describes me to a “t.”

Heh...it's an "Americanism" to just paint North America with the same brush as Australia.

Many Canadians are pissed about Australia getting Apple love before Canada (News is another example). We can thank our French speaking citizens for the delay (but, without them, we wouldn't have Hockey, maple syrup or poutine...to name a few)

It just means we have to wait the same amount of time as Europe.

Yeah it’s not Apple love. Its called time zones.

Huh? The only countries to get the HomePod at launch were Australia, the UK and the US.

Time zones only have to do with the Americans bitching about Aus getting them first.

You can still use spotify via airplay and use hey siri to skip tracks

That's hardly the streamlined solution I was wanting on a $499 device. When a $49 device can do way more music streaming services, and when asked knows the weight of the home-pod, a fact not even Siri knows.

How many times are u planning to ask your device the precise weight of the Homepod over the coming 12 months?
