HomeView will support video apps like YouTube, Netflix—if they say yes https://t.co/GTIPJvbNSg by @iryantldr

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Elon Musk's X just took down more than 13,000 accounts tied to foreign influence operations from IRAN, RUSSIA, and CHINA that were targeting U.S. politics ahead of the midterms

THANK YOU, X! 🇺🇸

The networks used fake accounts to post and amplify content about U.S. politics, going after candidates

X says its Safety team found them through proactive sweeps and investigations

This is why X is the best platform in history.

Amazon lost more than $25 billion on its devices business between 2017 and 2021. Apple just showed up nine years late to the party with the lesson fully absorbed.

Let's rewind back to 2017, when Echo Show shipped. A year later, Nest Hub shipped. Both decided to run the Gillette playbook. They sold the screen at near cost and hoped to make the money back when people shopped and subscribed through it.

There was just one problem. The shopping never came.

The Wall Street Journal got Amazon's internal documents, where one former Amazon exec summed up the decade of investment as "we worried we've hired 10,000 people and we've built a smart timer."

When the hardware doesn't pay for itself, the screen has to. That's why Echo started showing ads. And of course, that turned people off.

Apple has learned from Amazon's mistakes. The HomeView has built-in real hardware margin at $299. There's no App Store at all. The device pays for itself at the register, which is why it can spend its life just showing you photos and recognizing which of six family members just walked up with its A18 chip.

It's a beautiful illustration of their difference in strategies. Amazon thought, let's put 100 million speakers into homes, then retrofit intelligence onto it and use it to sell. Apple said, nah, let's be a late mover into the category. See what works, see what people want, and build that.

For nine years, the take was that Apple missed the smart home. I say, nah. They let Amazon pay the $25 billion tuition and showed up today with the answer key.

I have no patience anymore for cynical tech talk. What happened to being excited to learn about a new product before jumping immediately to ‘why won’t this work?’

[Chance Miller @ChanceHMiller]

Parker is right on this one. I'd say this is the most fun/exciting/interesting time in tech (Apple and beyond) in years.

🚨 NOW: President Trump says he's learned that US Senate candidate Mary Peltola (D) in Alaska is a WACKJOB

"I read this story that she's crazy, whacky, nasty!"

"Mary Peltola worked hand in hand with crooked Joe Biden to VICIOUSLY crush Alaska energy and the production was brought all the way down to just a fraction of the levels we got used to, driving your energy and food costs up!"

They suspended the ANWR leases and locked up MILLIONS of acres in the National Petroleum Reserve

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN. Vote for Dan Sullivan all the way!

@panzer They shortened the sequences of events to make it a 3 minute ad.

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@rsgnl Unless, the app store is focused on Home Related apps or narrowed.

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@jasonzimdars There are glasses in the video. Hmm

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@sarunw per Mark Gurman, Siri AI OS. Hybrid ios.

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@alexisgallagher Apple is going to be late in the agent thing like everything else. Grok bots will win in commercial settings. Too early to say. Facebook does not have phone. They rely on PC and Mac computers.

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@rsgnl wonder what it could have been if there wasn't memory shortage

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@AnxiousHolly Looks promising. Wonder what Apple worked on between 2024 and 2026. You would think they would make their own accessories or have an app store on it.

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@alexisgallagher in the long term, it is cheaper than OpenAI subscription.

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@AnxiousHolly @johnternus Apple TV app is so good that a box is not needed. So, I don't get it. Sure, the app on third party devices can be buggy and slow. 300 dollars is too much.

[Holly - I like tech @AnxiousHolly]

i think this is the biggest expansion of the apple ecosystem i’ve seen in a very long time

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@iMatteo_Pau With the cost of memory, they did the balancing act. I think they wanted to charge 399. However, that would have been too much. Most people will go for desktop version. Wall version requires a mount as well,etc.

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@Meme0rable This is updated Siri AI, way better, use it daily.

[Max Weinbach @mweinbach]

Taking advantage of your customers (especially when they are the biggest companies in the world, with large resources) is never a good idea

[Yongmin Jerzak @YJerzak]

@LeakerApple Notice there are EU people hating on Siri AI because they don't have it. Also see Open AI fans hating it. Fanboys, lol!
