repressthis said: I use my HomePods in stereo for a home theater, paired with an Apple TV. Really love the experience. An excellent product and I’m so pleased to have ditched my old jumbo sized 3.1 sounds system, never wanting to go back. But…

Using on 11” iPad. At first I thought both iPad speakers and AirPods were both on. It sounded like sound was coming from iPad as I moved my head around but much better sound. Such an amazing improvement in experience. Quick switching - about time b…

Don’t forget the Apple Insider iOS app. It reads the clipboard on every activation.

I'm still on the X. The XS wasn't a big bump up in performance or camera from the X so I skipped it. Part of that was also a protest against the pricing of the XS. I will get the 11 since my AppleCare is running out and I want the three lens camera.…

Good stuff, this could be a game changer. I'm interested in two use cases for photographers who travel and want to minimize size/weight but still want to backup and edit their images. 1) Can I copy the contents of a SD card to a SSD drive using th…

I also use AutoSleep (works great) and battery life is a non-issue. At night, I set the watch to "Theatre Mode" so the watch face doesn't go on as I move around while sleeping or trying to get to sleep. That likely saves some battery. In the morning…

Once you have more HomeKit automation, the HomePod becomes more useful to turn on and off devices or enable scenes. Hey Siri, set scene dining (or just say hey Siri, dinning) to setup a set of lights in our home. Sure, you could do that with your iP…

The politicians in Wisconsin have taken a big leap of faith that 13-15K jobs will be created by the plant (and many more in surrounding areas, of course). At this point, it seems they don't even know what sorts of jobs will be created or how many (1…

I'd bet within 5 years a large percentage of those jobs will be automated away. You know Foxconn will not be creating a brand new facility without maximizing automation. This isn't Asia where labor is relatively cheap so the motivation to do so is e…

Great article packed full of good information, thanks! I've been an Apple fanboy since 1984 so it's nice to see Apple's journey from near death to dominance. That said, we need someone like Samsung out there competing with Apple to keep prices down …

Apple's next big outlet is an unlikely target. The store is opening inside the Dubai Mall on Thursday -- interior locations appear to be attacked less often, presumably because they're harder to reach and escape. I think the dense CCTV cover…

I've been using Eero for about a year in two different homes. Up until the last firmware release (eeroOS v2.2.0-2478) I'd walk through my home and would lose WiFi completely (no signal at all). For some time I thought it was due to the iOS betas I w…

thewhitefalcon said: I guess Apple just needs to take out more ads in Consumer Reports then. Worked for Toyota. You must be thinking about some other publication. They don't allow advertising, that's the whole beauty of Consumer Reports…

David Klutho is a great photographer but I preferred the US Open images. A bit more artistic. I don't think the iPhone is going to replace a DSLR for stuff like football anytime soon but sure is a viable 2nd or 3rd camera for occasions where you wan…

I think this is a brilliant strategy by Apple. Don't say exactly what you are doing and let others (including auto manufactures) believe you're going to do the whole thing like Tesla. Puts Apple in a good bargaining position when they want to team u…

Solar is not without problems (the batteries and solar panels have environmental impact for sure) but we've seen great progress and with companies like Apple pushing large scale use its only a good thing. Well, unless you are in the oil or coal busi…
