HomePod Getting more successful with the Mini. The OG Homepod was a very V1 product like the person you replied to was saying https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/06/06/homepod-mini-was-the-single-best-selling-smart-speaker-in-q1-2022 https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/06/06/homepod-mini-was-... AirPower: never released Butterfly keyboards/Touch Bar/force touch: all features. The person you’re replying to is talking about product lines. You might as well list cd/devs drives and FireWire as well because things come and go. MobileMe: The majority of MobileMe features still exist under iCloud so I’m not sure what you’re getting at there. Ping: this was always just a feature for iTunes and not much more. It wasn’t a product in and of itself.

I agree with you on all of that except MobileMe. Apple killed that, then had a delay, then had iCloud. They were actually ahead of the curve for a bit and then went way far back before catching up again.

  You seem to be misremembering that. >All services were gradually transitioned to and eventually replaced by the free iCloud, and MobileMe ceased on June 30, 2012, with transfers to iCloud being available until July 31, 2012, or data being available for download until that date, when the site finally closed completely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileMe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileMe

    No, you just need to dig deeper. The MobileMe Drive system was shut down in 2012, as your link says. However the new feature in iCloud wasn't introduced until Yosemite, which came out in 2014. There was a two year gap where the service did not exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_Yosemite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_Yosemite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICloud#iCloud_Drive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICloud#iCloud_Drive
