Please stop making news and posts about a glorified speaker...

Perhaps I'm missing something but the homepod is just one more "smart" speaker on the market. A speaker is a speaker, with a couple more (or less) tricks than other speakers, but anyway a speaker.
It is not a major technology breakthrough, a disruptive product or anything else that deserves more than a couple of sideline remarks.

Let's talk about the new iMac Pro, the future Mac Pro, the iPhone and iPad ranges, the present and future of Mac OS, iOS, Logic Pro, Final Cut, third party apps and hardware products, thunderbolt, the processors, graphics, apple music, watch, apple tv, display screens, MacBooks, whatever...

But please don't give a speaker more attention than it deserves...
And by the way, please do the same with the news about the 5 new revolutionary emojis that will be included in the next update of iOS.

Why are you complaining about people talking about the HomePod in a thread dedicated to the HomePod?

If it’s conversation about the Mac Pro that you want, there are a few other threads you can go resurrect. And personally, I am more likely to get a HomePod in the near foreseeable future than a Mac Pro.

Though for what it’s worth, I do believe Apple has more planned for the HomePod than for it to just be another smart speaker. More intriguing is its ability to theoretically map your entire room.

I won’t be so quick as to dismiss the HomePod outright yet.
