Thank you for all that you've done to make our lives better.

Excellent. Just because Donnie doesn't understand science, doesn't mean we roll back progress. 

Science isn't always right. They still can't figure out how much carbon emissions are from humans vs the environment. 

You're pretty clueless on that front. Go ahead, ask me what you'd like to know about which specific type of human-caused emissions, from which country: I'd be happy to point you to resources where you can educate yourself.

No one has a clue. 

End of story.

 Higher pricing is a key part of the streaming service's long-term strategy, particularly as competition grows from the likes of companies such as Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video.

Read on AppleInsider

Really? On what planet is raising prices when "competition grows" an optimal (long-term or short-term) strategy?

Wants to be a freeloader, like Epic. Go create your own app store, man. Get lost.

I think that Apple should reinstate the ad protections in iOS 14 as originally planned (and on which they were starting to back off).

My original plan, when I saw the product intro, was to buy the Vision Pro when it came out this year. But I have now decided to give it a pass. A hard pass. This product is not going much of anywhere. It will have some important niche uses, but even that will take a few years. (If you think I am mistaken, do correct me; the general level of "meh" as reflected in the lack of enthusiasm for it in this forum supports my views).

The HomePod is a remarkably mediocre product. 

Wake me up when they can be used as TV speakers. Yawn. 

What a useful post you have provided. Been able to do this for ages...

Without an an AppleTV - a product that should be retired just for its ungodly remote - just as external speakers to any old TV (as thousands of speakers can)?

Pray tell us how... I'll wait. In the meantime, you can educate yourself with this (as can the ignorant poster to whom I responded above): https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207705

Even the original iPhone was a hit and literally everyone knew it as it was being announced. 

Could someone please repost the classic -- and priceless -- AI thread from 2007 of the iPhone intro presentation for this person?

"Incremental" and "unexciting." Perfect description. Of much more than the MacBook.

… paired with the most abysmal iOS update, ever.
