"Here's How Amazon Just Royally Shafted Apple: Sorry to rain on your parade Apple fanboys, but Amazon just totally stuck it to Tim Cook's baby. Amazon said that it sold three times as many Echo devices worldwide midway through Prime Day.

What this means to Apple is rather simple to understand: Amazon has managed to stuff more homes with Echos in front of Apple's major HomePod launch. Hence, if you bought a discounted Echo why in the world would you want a HomePod, too?" TheStreet 10:03 AM
