Disney has nothing to lose here, and Apple can take a failure, too. Apple has produced plenty of devices that didn't pan out. Let's not get too hyped away.

- sebzim4500 3y ago>Apple has produced plenty of devices that didn't pan out. Have they? They've launched particular versions of existing products that didn't sell too well, but have they ever launched a device which was was fundamentally new and didn't eventually sell a ton of units?

- anikom15 3y agoTo be fair, that might as well be ancient history. I imagine more than 99% of Apple’s value comes from post-iPod activity, and I can’t think of anything post–OS X that failed, let alone post iPod.

- sebzim4500 3y agoI was just thinking of the last few decades but yeah fair enough I had forgotten about the HomePod.
- robbiep 3y agoI don’t get this HomePod hate. I have the big (old gen) and small one, and they rock. We’re in allocated housing at the moment for my fiancées work and they have a shitty tv. I wouldn’t be able to hear the thing if it wasn’t playing through my HomePod. And that’s before the benefits of it as a speaker
