Apple Debuts Major New Product

(San Francisco)

While the press around it has not been nearly as hyped as the iPhone, Apple has finally released its new HomePod. The company’s version of the very popular smart speaker could end up being a major profit source for Apple, if not for the device itself, then because it could facilitate a significant source of service based revenue within Apple’s ecosystem. The device will offer similar functionality to other smart speakers, but apparently will have immensely better sound quality, and will, unsurprisingly, be priced significantly higher than competition, at $349, or more than triple the price of the newest Amazon Echo.


FINSUM: We think this is a very smart area for Apple to get involved in, and frankly, they should have done it sooner. However, being first is often less important than executing perfectly, so if this device is really great, then it won’t matter that it came out late.

Apple Looks Close to a Big New Product Launch

(San Francisco)

Apple debuted its most important product in years just a few months ago—the iPhone X, but it may be closing in on what could not only be a great new product, but a new segment. That new device would be Apple’s version of the smart speaker business led by Amazon’s Echo and Google’s devices. Apple’s version is called the HomePod, and had its debut delayed from late last year to early this year, missing the holiday season. Of course, the device itself may be secondary the the digital personal assistant system, in Apple’s case Siri, as it is this bit of software which keeps users in the company’s ecosystem, which means higher spending.


FINSUM: The devices are merely vehicles for the digital assistants, which are in turn genius products for keeping consumers spending on services.
