    Playing out the same way as the HomePod. Over engineered and expensive, doesn’t sell as well as they thought it would, R&D halts and reboots the product line with something much cheaper and easier to make.

    Instead of Apple Vision Pro 2, expect an ‘Air’ model.

      I have to say though, that I have the Homepod mini, and I absolutely can’t fucking stand it.

        The mini is less prone to failure as the original, but I’ve heard a lot of people say that the sound is not that good.

          The fact that I can’t get Siri to speak at a higher volume. She’ll do it when I directly tell her, then immediately reduce her volume again. Sometimes Siri seems to be in a fog with no idea what’s going on. Sometimes it just turns on on its own or starts playing music. I wanted it to be my dedicated speaker for my Mac mini, but it reverts back to trying to play sound through my monitor every time I restart the computer. It’s also constantly prompting me to play stuff on it, even though I almost never want to do this as I have an Apple TV and good sound system in the same room that I use for that.
