    Sure would be nice if Apple combined the HomePod with the Airport Extreme so it was something more than a fancy speaker. Maybe add a SSD for the Time Capsule factor though I imagine Time Capsule is usurped by iCloud. Still using the N version Extreme and Express and glad for the update. You’d think Apple could get serious about a whole house (including router) solution. Seems they’re ceding that to Amazon. Wonder if Amazon has plans for a router?
