3-4 years back Apple hired former SSL and Sony Oxford DSP genius Peter Eastty as head of SoC Audio Processing. They also hired Dana Massie formerly of Waves Audio. These were cutting edge hires that said Apple was serious about audio.

The technology in HomePod is indeed not appreciated by many. It’s in a class of its own at any price.

One reason I’ll stay with Mini 5 is the 3.5mm line output. It’s an old beaten down argument but bluetooth audio has latency which does not work for precise monitoring. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 

I walked away from Windows about 15 years ago and have been Mac ever since. I wouldn't take a Windows computer if someone gave it to me. Good luck Microsoft.

If Apple brings their pro apps to iPad Pro this would never work. Logic Pro would be dead in the water running in a 5 gig environment (no pun intended). 

I’m certain it was an “honest” mistake.

Wow. Apple really hit it out of the park with M1. They really are years ahead with this. it may even be an insurmountable lead. Advances like this do just not just fall from trees. M1 reflects 10 year or more R&D, and the ability to put all the pieces together.

If the computer in my car malfunctions  it will fall back to a basic less efficient program to keep the car running until I get to a safe place instead of shutting down. I really don’t think I have an issue with the automobile manufacturer for not being upfront that the car would slow down rather than stop completely. I guess automobile manufacturers are next in line. Better lawyer up.

Obviously Apple is on the top of their game with the hardware right now. It just feels like owning a Porsche but driving on bald tires.

iPadOS 15 needs to be simplified but more capable. iPadOS 14 was the first version that I felt that I needed a book and study to figure it out. And then it was still not easy or intuitive.
