I like the fact that Apple is not publicly gloating the way Samsung would if the shoe were on the other foot. Sammy would feature exploding iPhones in their ads. Apple is showing real corporate class by just keeping on keeping on. Not that Samsung will learn anything from Apple's example. 

Pioneers get the arrows, settlers get the land. 

Put an effing bigger screen on it!

Musk and Trump are both examples of men who buy businesses started by smart people, or buy smart people to run their businesses. Then promote the myth that they themselves are brilliant. Mediocre brains with a nose for business + affluent parents to prime the pump. 

I volunteer twice a week at my local State Park doing native plant restoration work in the field and nursery. Involves a lot of grubbing around in dirt and chopping through invasive plants. The iPhone in my pants pocket regularly gets tiny seeds, sand grains, and other debris in the Lightning port. I have accumulated a small arsenal of specialized tools to remove it. Hoping USB-C will make it better, or at least not worse. I know I could buy an expensive Otterbox type of protective case, but don’t want to have that on the other 90% of the time. A small easily removable plastic port plug would be great, but haven’t found one. 

I hope the sale to the tribe who had this land stolen from them was for a token amount. 

Tim: Please advise Trump to to resign his current government internship and go back to the hospitality industry that he came from.

Tried wife and I both using our AirPod Pros to watch AppleTV. Screen indicated that with two users using Pods simultaneously (sharing), that Spatial Audio was disabled. Sure hope that gets fixed with AVPs. Would be a bummer not having that cool sound feature when watching with others. Guess you could use on board speakers, but that would disturb others nearby who are doing other things. 

Probably more like nose holding.

it is ludicrous for a car manufacturer to give Apple access to all its car systems, which will invariably lead to Apple becoming the gatekeeper to the entire tech stack of a car. This in addition to the branding impact. CarPlay is not the end of evolution, for example, the music app is well on CarPlay. Audi music controls are much better. 

Who said all? We’re talking about user-facing information systems. Car manufacturers have farmed out components and subsystems from day one. Brakes, batteries, transmissions, gauges, radios, generators, on and on. More to the point, putting Bose, Harmon-Kardon and many other name brand audio systems is a selling point. Why should this be any different?
