[Nevasleep]

Can you make calls through it?

 

[Frustrated_me]

DOA

 

[Hidden One]

I could buy a PS4 for that

 

[ayeorkean]

 

[Ensirius]

Way too expensive.

 

[Thezez]

that is way too much

 

[Xando]

Fuck off with that price and not even releasing it in europe

 

[TTOOLL]

Doing math on stage, that's BAD.

 

[Dinskugga]

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.

we are fine this year. but yeah next year i think we are left outside the fun.

 

[Vire]

Apple has made shitty sound for years now, so I don't know why anyone would be excited about this for 350.

 

[Zombie James]

$349, hahaha.

 

[subrock]

Reasonable based on the market. I wonder if you can airplay to it

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

It's sad that Apple have reached the point of doing a Samsung.

 

[giga]

Exactly like echo lol

I have an echo that I use with a few smart home devices and these commands are so much better.

 

[Humidex]

They misspelt Canada with Australia?

 

[Socivol]

So it's double the price of the Echo.

 

[The Elite]

Yup. Canada gotta wait.

Meh.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Yeah, I'll just stick with my echo for that price

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I'll wait for reviews on the sound quality, but that price doesn't seem terrible.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Welp

iPhone 5 owner here

I just gave my mom my iPhone 5c to use as her first smartphone. A shame she won't be able to use the new map features.

 

[Gandie]

way too expensive

Was expecting Apple premium. This is actually a decent price

This is neogaf.

Will need to listen first.

 

[kaskade]

I thought the AirPods were a little expensive when they announced it originally and they are one of my favorite products ever so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. If the sound quality is as good as they say I might bite. I just hope it supports more music services

 

[SomedayTheFire]

was expecting a lot more.

 

[Imperial Hot]

One more thing for next year...

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

That thing is tiny.

No way does SONOS have anything to worry about.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Overpriced.

 

[Sesuadra]

wtf not in germany?

 

[Tom Nook]

 

[bionic77]

Interested to see the hands on of that.

I would like to automate my home more but I don't see anything that is that compelling yet. The hardware and software have a long way to go.

Overall a very good presentation for me because I have been waiting for them to focus on Macs more and I don't remember the last time they spent this much time on Mac hardware and software.

 

[Soldiussnaku]

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

Good choice, iPhone se is blazingly fast and thanks to the a9 chip will be supported for years to come

 

[yanipheonu]

Still a lot of questions, mostly waiting on proper speaker reviews, and what music services it supports.

 

[jstripes]

Now I'm going to be antsy until the iOS and macOS betas drop.

$349

Huh? No Canada? that's pretty weird

Gotta smuggle one from Buffalo.

So it's double the price of the Echo.

Probably very little profit on the Echo. Amazon's banking on you buying stuff with it.

 

[TheAbsolution]

LMAO $349 for the same stuff that's in the Echo and the Google Home and no third party support. What a value.

 

[diehard]

Was expecting $499 tbh

If the speakers are really that good it's a pretty good price.

 

[entremet]

Sonos lives!

However, Sono is falling behind without the speech options.

 

[Paznos]

Double the price of the Echo...

 

[microdot]

Now I expect Sonos and Amazon echo to be pressured to release their partnered service.

 

[Always-honest]

Homepod is THE worst name they could have used

How about poopycumfest?

If multiple sync together, rip Sonos.

Nah, the Sonos 5 is fucking amazing. Thinking of buying another. Wish i could do a bit more with it though. Like just everything.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Apple have never done good audio, before and after beats.

And possibly no Spotify integration? GG

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Will file access on iPad make coding on the iPad pro possible?

 

[MeatGrinder]

What is the new macbook pro? I just bought a new one yesterday, no kiding

 

[Fuchsdh]

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

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

I don't think Apple particularly cares about that. They just want to (and depending on your view) need to compete with something that's at least decent and better integration for iOS/Mac users. We'll see how this pans out for them.

 

[Quintin DM]

Price ain't bad, but of course Canada's gotta wait.....

 

[BitStyle]

This is neogaf.

Will need to listen first.

It is on the high end, make no mistake. I just meant that it wasn't going to be insane like $500.

Competition beats it handily in price

 

[eyeball_kid]

$349 is a fantastic price if the speaker quality is premium.

Music is a natural angle for Apple's home assistant, I think this is going to be a huge product success for them.

 

[marrec]

It all depends on how it sounds.

If it sounds like the Echo, then it's laughably overpriced for the features.

 

[acheron_xl]

Welp

iPhone 5 owner here

It's nice they still support iPod Touch 6g

 

[Auctopus]

I did NOT see that black keyboard the first time through. Dayum.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Honestly though if the Siri stuff is even remotely close to google or amazon it'll be worth it just for the privacy stuff alone. I don't like google or amazon listening to the very thing I do..

 

[Xando]

iPad was the best of this keynote imo
