The best Thunderbolt 3 docks for Apple's 2019 13-inch MacBook Pro
AppleInsider said:
...owners of the 15-inch MacBook Pro will want to look at docks with at least 87 Watts of power delivery through a single connection in order to properly charge their Mac.
This is not strictly true. The MBP 15 charges just fine with only 60 watts available. It takes a bit longer than 87 watts, but surprisingly, not a huge amount. If you need 30 minutes of charge, it might take 45 @60w -
Apple engineers lack optimism about the Apple TV strategy, claims report
I’m in the camp of AppleTV being positively brilliant, and I had the 2017 model before. I have not had a cable tv subscription for more than 20 years.HDMI 2.1 and eARC really cleaned up my living room. I used to have a sound bar w sub woofer hooked to the TV. Now I can use my HomePod pair for all audio, including from the TV receiver, (via the return channel) though I don’t use the TV receiver all that much. Instead I bought a TabloTV OTA DVR which has a client for the AppleTV. Everything operates from the AppleTV remote. -

Apple dips below Samsung in annual smartphone customer satisfaction index
AniMill said:Not surprising. Samsung has constantly improved their products these past years. But also, there’s no iPhone 12 anywhere in the mix. ALL smartphones have become incredible devices with their OS and cameras as their distinctions. -

Apple Watch Series 9 review three months later: Don't buy it for Double Tap
I picked up my Series 9 before 10.1/17.1 software was released. At that time, used double tap to dismiss notifications, one at a time, that popped up on my watch. That took what was always a two-handed operation, to a single hand trick. Glance at my watch, and tap through the notifications, dismissing each, one at a time. Really handy when my opposite arm was tied up!
But that all went away with 10.1, the feature that presumably brings all of the gestures to life. I have been unable to set up that Acknowledge and Dismiss feature since!
