"Home Pod, and don't spare the horses"

 

[bbeagle]

Erm, no Apple, Amazon Echo and all those other high end speaker systems have you beat I'm afraid.

But no doubt here we go with Apples arrogance...

You have no clue what this offers vs. the competition. Shows your bias.

'Amazon Echo' is a high-end speaker? REALLY? lol

 

[rolsskk]

Let me know when this speaker can beat a 5.1/7.1 surround sound setup.

 

[HiRez]

Not sure I'm crazy about the design. I don't really like the thick fish-net fabric.

 

[stoopkidblues]

HOMEPOD?!?!???!

 

[xSeaside]

HomePod. Really?

#nopod

 

[Populus]

HomePod? Meh name
A Mac Pro shaped speaker...

 

[BMcCoy]

Homepod is a terrible name!

Lol

 

[itsmilo]

HomePod??? to my foreign ears this sounds like a nasty place to take a s...

 

[v0lume4]

The Mac Pro trash can design repurposed as a smart speaker is a really funny analogy to the state of the Mac Pro.

 

[yaxomoxay]

HomePod? Awful

 

[psingh01]

Dust catcher.

 

[willzyx]

I'll take Cortana speaker over this any day of the day.

 

[Ries]

It's the Mac Pro Mesh!

 

[eyeseeyou]

Idk.

My $40 echo dot + $40 echo dot third party speaker attachment seems hard to beat for $80.

 

[TitanicManDC]

Oh boy my neighbors are going to start hating me more...

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Fire the guys in the naming dept.

 

[1Zach1]

Color me skeptical about the "HomePod". I mean, it's a fat Amazon Echo with worse voice assistance than Alexa, and worse sound than Sonos? So it's in the middle of two very good things, while being better than neither?

 

[soupcan]

Remember the Apple HiFi?

 

[KPOM]

Apple are going to make home music better than my Sony and B&O products? Hilarious.

2007: Apple is going to make a better phone than Nokia? Hilarious.

 

[HiRez]

The recent rumors turned out to be really accurate. No screen though, which is probably a good move.

 

[JamieLannister]

jesus, in the space of speakers, SIZE MATTERS. This under 7" tall speaker is not going to rock your house, yo! And it's called, "HomePOD" - sheesh, he is spinning so much marketing bullcrap tech terms.

 

[iReality85]

...so they took Google's Home and added a Pod on the end. K.

 

[MrGimper]

Damn everyone who beat me to Mac Pro gags.

 

[BlueCreek]

Not even a CPU or storage upgrade on iPad mini... According to Cook's M.O he could at least have inserted the iPhone 6s chips into it and call it a revamped model...

I think the iPad Mini is dead....

 

[fel10]

If priced right, I will get one.
