APPLE has long been an innovator in mobile technology. Yet, on Monday at its annual developer conference here, the company at times appeared as if it was playing catch up.
That was especially so when the company, the maker of the iPhone, took the wraps off HomePod, a speaker that will ship in December, and which follows both Amazon's Echo and Google's Home speakers. It was the first new product category from Apple since it rolled out the Apple Watch in 2015.
