RIP Echo

 

[robotrock]

What is the newest album by Khalid?

 

[VeryGooster]

lol I'm Poppy

 

[Deleted member 22576]

The RL Siri light is dope as fuck.

 

[microdot]

If they can be used as pc speakers I'm super interested. I wish my sonos would.

 

[yanipheonu]

Yes, but what music services are available? This better not be some Apple Music/iTunes only shit.

 

[Deku Tree]

Watch it have no spotify support

I'm sure you'll be able to use it through your iPhone.

 

[flyover]

lol I'm Poppy

haha

 

[jstripes]

Make Siri do more than play music.

Edit: GOOD.

 

[Akira]

The light is pretty neat. I wonder if it can be used for home theater applications.

 

[Tranqueris]

Welp

iPhone 5 owner here

Since my iPad is the last on the list, I'm guessing that all I'm getting in the next update is just the iOS 11 logo and that's probably about it.

Make Siri do more than play music.

but that is the most important thing in everyone's lives

 

[Zeyphersan]

I'm sure you'll be able to use it through your iPhone.

I'm sure it'll work as a generic AirPlay target

 

[grmlin]

rip Sonos

Sonos sounds great though. If apple does anything like with their headphones they will be very expensive and not so great sounding speakers. I think Sonos is fine.

 

[jediyoshi]

Someone out there Titanic Sinclair just got an erection and doesn't know why

 

[kennah]

This is good timing. Local coffee shop was asking for my recommendation on what to do for wireless audio in their space. Might recommend this after some reviews.

 

[Martinski43]

GL rocking a house with a small speaker like it, maybe a room tho.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

They're really stretching here. It's a speaker.

 

[Socivol]

RIP Echo

Doubt it unless they do a much better job with Siri. Siri is pretty useless when compared to other digital assistants.

 

[The Elite]

They are just brushing over the whole home assistant thing?

Edit: Ok. It's capable of more.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

RIP Echo

I wouldn't underestimate the power of established brands. Especially not one that is freely advertised every time someone heads over to Amazon.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Want this just because it would be more beneficial and less creepy than my echo dot.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Exactly like echo lol

 

[kaskade]

They need to allow other services. I would hope I could use overcast to listen to podcasts instead of the default.

 

[Gandie]

The light is pretty neat. I wonder if it can be used for home theater applications.

Just get 7 for directional sound. At 399$ a piece.

 

[Auctopus]

I think they entered this segment via Music so it seems less like they're jumping on the Alexa/Google Home train late. They're slowly revealing features more in line with those products.

 

[jstripes]

lol I'm Poppy

I've head of I'm Poppy, but I'm scared to investigate further.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Since my iPad is the last on the list, I'm guessing that all I'm getting in the next update is just the iOS 11 logo and that's probably about it.

I too have the iPad Air and it'll have to physically die before I replace it. It does its job great as a bedtime internet browsing device.

 

[cyberheater]

Welp

iPhone 5 owner here

That was close. My two kids have iPhone 5s's.
My wife has lucked out

 

[Tom Nook]

Since my iPad is the last on the list, I'm guessing that all I'm getting in the next update is just the iOS 11 logo and that's probably about it.

I plan on getting the iPhone SE since it shares the same accessories with iPhone 5.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

"iTunes will now be put up on stage and ritual sacrificed to put it out of our misery"

If only.

How does stereo work from a single point?

Presumably will send the left and right audio out left and right, balanced for the place in the room its in.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Exactly like echo lol

Except without baked answers like Alexa.

 

[Guess Who]

I think they entered this segment via Music so it seems less like they're jumping on the Alexa/Google Home train late. They're slowly revealing features more in line with those products.

that, and "music" is the way they'll differentiate themselves from their competitors, since their speakers are designed to sound better for music playback

 

[The Elite]

That makes sense. I am actually interested in it now. Canada doesn't seem to get any of these types of home assistants. I hope Apple delivers.

Buy one for every room!

Buy TWO for every room!

Only $3kidneys49

 

[chadskin]

Reasonable price.

 

[Deku Tree]

$349

 

[LyleLanley]

Good luck competing with Echos third party support.

 

[jstripes]

Shot at Google and Amazon: Only sends audio to Apple's servers when you command it to.

 

[Benjamin1981]

Buying 2 of those homepods.. I got Apple Music so this is perfect.

 

[……forgetit]

So just apple music? I can't use this with Spotify or Google play music?

 

[Lo-Volt]

Oh, only $349?

 

[GreyWind]

$349

Huh? No Canada? that's pretty weird

 

[robotrock]

fuck off with that price m8 if ya want me to buy two

 

[Zeyphersan]

Not a bad price

 

[Imperial Hot]

$349..... YEESH

 

[Doc Holliday]

I'll stick with Sonos at that price

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I plan on getting the iPhone SE since it shares the same accessories with iPhone 5.

349 seems cheap for Apple tbh

 

[btrboyev]

way too expensive

 

[BitStyle]

Was expecting Apple premium. This is actually a decent price.

Still don't think it'll beat out Echo and the like
