    Announcing new hardware today: http://live.arstechnica.com/goog…

    • predictions: no 3.5mm headphone jack, new portrait mode for camera, wireless charging (glass all around)monospaced
    • Google Home Max = same product features and price of Apple Home Pod. Fascinating, and innovative!monospaced
    • Seems to me like it does a little bit more with youtube and nest integration. Apple does not have a suite of home devices.zarkonite
    • but I agree with your point, these things have become generic because there's only so much you can invent really imo.zarkonite
    • ugh, 3.5mm is gone!zarkonite
    • I wouldn't get too hung up on the hardware (although have to say my Pixel is the best phone I have ever owned), it's all about Android baby - the latest versionfadein11
    • of which is the best yet. Stock Android is where it's at. You ios guys should give it a try some time.fadein11
    • You're right, Apple doesn't make home devices, but neither does Google. HomeKit supports all of them though, just like Google's. They're very similar.monospaced
    • I commented on the wrong post, was meant for the one above oops.fadein11
    • Speaker, thermostat, doorbell, home cameras, smoke alarms, chromecast... I'd say google makes a lot of home devices.zarkonite
    • Google makes all those? I didn't realize.monospaced
    • I thought that was all Nest, which btw, all play nice with Apple HomeKit.monospaced
    • Nest is a division of Alphabet, formerly a division of Google.zarkonite
