Episode notes

The old home pod was based on an A8 processor from, I mean, what the hell is that the iPhone 3GS? And it was very, very slow. The new one has five tweeters instead of seven and four microphones instead of six. It's 2 millimeter shorter, 2 millimeters wider, 2 tenths of a kilogram lighter.
