Weekly Blog 8: Article Review


This week's article discusses a big change in a new Apple product. Apple's new HomePod speaker isn't getting released when Apple originally said it would. Apple has said that they "need a little more time before it's ready for our customers," and they also said shipping would begin in early 2018. This means that they'll miss the holiday season and could miss out on a large amount of potential revenue. The product was presented back in June.

The article is fairly brief, but it does address most of the changes that Apple has made to HomePod. The writer uses a quote from an Apple email to help explain why the release date was moved back, and points out how the release will now miss the holiday season. However, the writer did not specify when the original release date was, which would have been nice to know.

In my future news stories, I'll always try to use quoted material from sources or people whom I've interviewed. It can add credibility to the story and make the information easier to understand as it's coming directly from them rather than being paraphrased by the writer.
