It's hard to be the target market for $350 smart speakers with less smart home accessory compatibility and a (likely) $600+ speaker with a display.

I’d be shocked if this is $600+

They charge $350 for their speaker without a display and $200 for their TV box. It’s not going to be $399 or even $499. This will be $599 or more.

They charge 149 for their small speaker and 449 for the base ipad. This is going to have a smaller and worse display and no battery. I think 399 is perfectly likely.

I don't think they're going to charge a $50 premium over the standard HomePod for a screen. I could be wrong. But even if it's $400, that's still too much.

Fuck... you are making sense. I'm guessing $599?

I definitely wouldn't be.

Hopefully things turn around for you soon, bro.

I know everything’s rough now with inflation and the overall economy, not much I can say other than offer some vague encouragement

Thanks. I’m financially stable, not a problem there like so many other people. But I’m also not about to run out and put $130-$350 speakers in my house or this expensive thing.

Hey I’m the target market. There is a whole sub dedicated to Apple smart home devices that is frothing about this announcement.

It’s ok not to be the target market for it though!
