It's always good practice to judge something without having actually tested it first.
Honestly, if Sonos integrates Amazon echo, it's such a better play than the Homepod
Trump is going to use Home Pod as his new advisor.
Nope! 12.9 looks outdated now sadly but got updated tech at least, I am going for 10.5
Not sure why. No point in getting a new ipad.
Now this was a pretty good Keynote! I liked almost all the features pretty much.
What makes Amazon such a great setup, is $50 echo all around the house. If you are going to use this as a home assistant you need about 3 in the house, bedroom, living room and kitchen, so Amazon $150, apple $1K. That should put this into perspective. If you have great speakers in the house, chrome audio is a much better implementation than Amazon or apple for music
All of this machine learning focus when SIRI and Spotlight are so terrible, it sounds like just marketing to me. I really hope there is some engineering behind it, but if so, why are SIRI and Spotlight so bad?
Well, that took a terrible wrong turn at the end.
I use a Bose Soundlink Mini for TV sound, connected for 3.5mm audio, have done for quite a few years now. It's an excellent speaker and works perfectly for TV audio. Only awkwardness is that you have to remember to switch it on manually when you boot the TV up, and volume control is awkward cause TV thinks its a pair of headphones. But mostly painless.
WOW, this is so ugly it's unreal how these guys sit at a table and actually agree to this. Most like a marketing team lead design. Atrocious.
If its designed on a grid, Johnny approves. And this is what you get.
And the stereo sound setup that way, let alone real multi-room you get with Sonos
That's for a Play 5. I'm thinking this will be more comparable to a Play 1 or Play 3 at that size and price.
I sold my air1, I have no iPad at the moment I was waiting for a worthy upgrade.
Wow. Incredible stuff - great keynote. Wish I were there for tomorrow's session - love Michelle Obama
A bunch of echos or google casts/google home
I think it's right that they entered the market. But the price point is a bit...nevermind. It's Apple. Did we expect more or less?
Apple is giving you enough time to sell your car so you afford to buy the new iMac Pros.
She's a Harvard Law grad and she's speaking on empowerment. What's the issue?
Watching the 2007 keynote on YouTube?
Tim Cook could have walked on stage, said "VR", then ended the WWDC, and I would have been satisfied.
