Apple TV users will now be able to stream content from Amazon’s Prime Video. While Apple is clearly maintaining its rivalry with Amazon, the companies also seemed to reach a sort of peace agreement when it came to Apple TV – a product that Amazon had previously pulled from its site. Apple claims the sound quality on its HomePod is superior to Amazon’s Echo or Google’s GOOG.

The speaker, priced at $349, will sync with Siri, Apple Music, the iTunes library, and any other smart home devices you have connected through the Apple app. Lo and behold, the HomePod was unveiled yesterday at the conference in San Jose.
