John Gruber: „HomePod is one of the most interesting new Apple products in years, insofar as I really don’t know how it’s going to sell. If most people see it as a direct competitor to Amazon Echos and Google Home dinguses, HomePod might be in trouble, because it’s a lot more expensive and has fewer features. But Apple has been positioning it as, first and foremost, a high-quality music player. The Siri-as-personal-assistant/smart-home-controller is secondary to audio quality. If there’s a market for that, HomePod could clean up. $350 is a low price in the audio world.“
Bezieht sich auf den CNBC Artikel, in dem die Überschrift verlautet: „‘NOBODY IS GOING TO BUY IT’„ - ich wette dagegen. :-)
Und wo John Gruber recht hat, hat er recht: „He’s on the fence between buying an iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. I’ve been fascinated by his dilemma. It seems to me that if Apple had only released one or the other, he’d have already bought a new one weeks ago. ... Anyway, he was here today, and asked me “Hey, what’s up with this thing I saw yesterday that Apple is cancelling the iPhone X? Is that for real?”„
Ja, das ist typischer Clickbait.
