Hey Siri, I want to listen to BBC Radio 3. Surely, it has to offer this? Somehow?

Also, think about the English speakers unable to buy this because of limited country distribution.

Then walks into our family room and asks for a photo to appear and auto-magically the TV turns itself on, the input sets, and the photo with very fine detail appears. But here is the kicker. It appears in 4k!!

Does my wife have the new HomePod? No she simply purchased a Google Home and a 4K Chromecast. She also installed Google Photos on her iPhone. The work to tie everything together was simply logging into her Google account and that is it. Google made it all just happen.

Honestly, Apple just feels like they have lost their way. One button press is the lowest friction you can get! But it is Google doing it with Apple hardware and NOT Apple.

Then consider the ONLY way to see your iPhone photos in 4k on the largest screen in the house is from Google.

BTW, I am talking like crazy fine details you can ask and get with this setup. So say show me Johnny building a sandcastle. Or pretty much anything you can think of. Sally tea party. Sunset. Photos from last month. I mean basically any place, time, person, object, and even color objects, etc.

I do wonder if the masses will jump on this. Then again this could be only to please the Apple Fanboys.
