  • Apple apologizes for iPad Pro 'Crush' ad after massive backlash

    BB92647BB92647
    I’m actually one of the cringe “mob” that disliked the ad. As a musician, it broke my heart to see pianos and guitars splinter and get crushed under a metal slab.  Instead of celebrating these instruments for the infinite possibilities of creativity they can produce, it was just destroyed. Was jerryrigeverything pulling the lever? 
    I can’t speak for the other commentators here, but I also wince when I see YouTubers destroy perfectly fine hardware for clicks. That’s what this felt like. Would I have the same reaction is some vintage Ferrari was crushed? Probably not… I don’t care about cars at all. But that doesn’t mean I can’t see the value of the “art” of that object. 
    Long story short, I think apple did the right thing and didn’t wait for the groundswell to overshadow the new iPads.

  • Kuxiu X36 iPad foldable magnetic stand review: a must-have iPad desk accessory

    BB92647BB92647
    I have this stand (using it now actually) and the stiff arms are no joke. Almost frustratingly so. I have heard though they can be loosened but that requires removing the coverings at the joints. Also, I wish the company would sell the magnetic plates individually for those of us that may upgrade to a larger (or smaller) iPad size in the future.  A commenter on another forum wished there was a ball joint where the plate attaches to the arm, but personally, I think the design is better without one (not inadvertent slippage over time).  All in all it’s a SOLID piece… but the stiff arms can be nearly a dealbreaker for some.

  • Kuxiu foldable magnetic wireless chargers review: excellent compact travel chargers

    BB92647BB92647
    I own the X40. It’s… okay. But the AirPod portion is VERY temperamental. As in I fully expect it to not charge properly. The AirPod Pro “ding” constantly goes off making me think there’s not some proper power flow. And even when it doesn’t for a while, it invariably will eventually. 
    All I’m saying is buy it from a retailer you can return it to without hassle if needed. Mine was shipped straight from China (I was expecting it to come from the New York distribution center) and returning it seemed like a hassle so I’ll keep it. 
    That said, I bought it because of the clever design and the physical build quality is nice.

    All props and CGI. Pay closer attention. No real instruments were used.
    I’m unsure why that matters. It’s the message that it conveys.

  • Jean-Louis Gassee doesn't know who an iPad is for, and thinks you don't either

    The iPad is the for the “all-a-rounders”… like me. Hobbyist in video, but not a full time video pro. Hobbyist in music production, but not a full time musician. Dabble in art, but not an artist. You get the picture. It’s the best of all worlds in this regard.  If you have some specific task, you’re most likely using that task for your livelihood. And you’d probably be using a laptop anyway.
