Much improved over the original. Great connectivity as home hub. Sound is deeper and wider and can fill a good size room.

Slight but noticeable improvement
on October 16, 2023
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Slight but noticeable improvement over the 2nd gen lightning version. I was reluctant at first but now am glad I did upgrade ($199-$80 trade in at Best Buy.) The biggest deal about USB-C is the ability to reverse charging from the iPhone 15 - a handy feature in low battery emergency (i.e., air travel). The new version does have the latest hardware chipsets to support lossless audio (Vision Pro for now) but I hope it will eventually come to the iPhone, perhaps 16 with the lossless Bluetooth. For now, they do provide a slightly yet noticeable improvement in audio details. Mid and highs are more focused. (Paired with iPhone 15 Pro Max). I also notice that connectivity to multiple Apple devices is bid quicker and smoother. It's a worthwhile upgrade to those who care about the best audio quality on earbuds. Being identical in size as the previous version, you get to keep the same protective case if you use one.

Failure at launch with 16.0
on February 3, 2023
Posted by: tobewiser
Bought a pair. They both run 16.0. Failed consistently during setup with iPhone that runs 16.3. During pairing, the Homepod is stuck in the 'being configured...' mode in the Home app. 4 hours with Apple tech support, they are clueless.

Attaching the MagSafe Battery Pack is a snap. Its compact, intuitive design makes on-the-go charging easy. And its perfectly aligned magnets keep it attached to your iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro - providing safe and reliable wireless charging. The MagSafe Battery Pack can charge even faster when coupled with a 27W or higher charger, like those that ship with MacBook. And when you're in need of a wireless charger, just plug in a Lightning cable for up to 15W of wireless charging.*

95% perfect for portable quick power boost.
on October 5, 2022
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Well integrated with the Apple eco system, esp., the latest iPhone. Slim and light. Smart user info on charging and battery life seen on iPhone. Well made and reliable. This device is the among the lightest and unobtrusive wireless chargers and definitely the best integrated with iOS. Designed as a quick-charge on the go device and not a full blown replacement of your home charger that provides a 100% charge. The tradeoff is obvious between portable usability and full power delivery. One has to decide if that's right for his/her need. Those who want a portable quick boost, no others in the market can deliver all the features and functionalities like it.

Too much unwanted Amazon junk messages...
on September 30, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Video quality is average, lots of annoying marketing message from Amazon, Alexa nags you for this and that... I finally have to turn it off. Stay with Homekit for automation - a much more secure and hassle free eco system than Alexa.

Another upgrade from and to mediocrity
on September 30, 2022
Posted by: tobewiser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Incremental change to a mediocre OS. Windows is the most over rated OS; full of driver issues - a historical problem that will never go away. Upgrade from 10 is just another Microsoft money grabber. I bought this for a gaming rig built for my son.

MI5 desk jockey Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh), who longed for a field agent's life, became convinced that a string of notorious international assassinations was the work of a woman, and was determined to prove it. Turns out she was right... and to her great peril, the perpetrator-sociopathic Russian operative Oksana Astankova, b/k/a "Villanelle" (Jodie Comer)-was reciprocating her fascination. Acclaimed BBC America take on the Luke Jennings thrillers co-stars Fiona Shaw, Kim Bodnia, Owen McDonnell.8 episodes on 2 discs. 6 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Lacks new materials. drags with time fillers.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Season 1 is great; 2 is okay; 3 is getting average; 4 is...you decide. The writers are getting 'tired' and running out of character development angles. The show begins to drag with lots of time fillers. I only purchased it so that I have a complete series.
