  • Apple says Spatial Audio is a hit, drawing more listeners to Apple Music

    iyfcalviniyfcalvin
    Personally, when the spatial audio songs were released, I went out of my way to sample some of the songs to experience the hype myself.  I have AirPod Pro’s on a new iPhone 13 Pro Max. My business background was 30 years in the record industry.
     I liked what I heard but found the feature only subtly unique. I was more impressed back in the 70s when the Quadrophonic Sound feature was debuted, but even then tired of it quickly.  Was the new feature a game breaker for me to listen to music?  Not at all. My preferences for music listening is recording and playback quality first.  Frankly, I actually cancelled my iTunes subscription after that.

    I’m about to call my state Congress Representative and let her know my opinion that she should reject the Bill.

    The way iKnockoff companies like Scamscum get away with this is disgusting.  If this were Apple, guaranteed that the the botomfeeding lawyers, media, and iHaters would be screaming for Tim Cook's head, and clickbait YouTubers would fill the Internet with countless videos on how Apple is a "greedy" company and ripping off users.


    If Apple did that, there’d be huge class action lawsuits lined up on Cook!  😂

  • More Apple Music Classical references spotted in iOS beta

    iyfcalviniyfcalvin
    Personally, I love classical music as well as rock, oldies and more (no country).  
    Now retired, I worked for the major record companies. One of the company’s I worked for owned more than 50% of the world’s classical. You’d easily know the label names.
    I’m excited for an Apple Classical product. However, As one of those lovers of classical, and even though I’ve been exposed to a huge amount on the top labels, as a casual listener, I’m still pretty ignorant on how to find the music I like.  In my opinion, there will be a huge amount of people like myself who enjoys classical, listens to their fave classical radio stations, but if they personally have to go find their faves, it’s a major chore and a huge learning curve.  I’m not denying there’s a core of classical music aficionados that would likely thrive on this new Apple service, they’re just not a massive group and on top of that, a lot of classical music fans (baby boomers) are dying off and if you’re in the know, classical music just has very few fans in the Gen X, Gen Y and Z generations.

  • Apple TV+ didn't seriously consider deal to stream LIV Golf events

    iyfcalviniyfcalvin
    I’m a golf fan, weekend hacker and enjoy watching golf on tv.  But I watch it for the excitement of the intense competition of PGA Tournaments.  LIV Golf doesn’t check that box for me.  I have zero interest on watching their golf knowing it’s more of a social party (private jets and partying) for them as they have promoted to prospective PGA players to join.
    I have nothing against those players for jumping to take the dazzling millions from the Saudis. If I was good enough to being in the position to consider taking the huge money, it would definitely be a big decision.  
    But, back to the original statement, it’s not a viewable or sustaining sport product for me.  
    Good luck to them

  • Apple's Eddy Cue says Spatial Audio is a 'game-changer' for music

    iyfcalviniyfcalvin
    Regarding Lossless, In my opinion, the average person can “hear” the difference. The key to that is whether they can “recognize the difference and appreciate it.  The “average” person today has lived primarily with highly compressed music, lower quality electronics, emphasizing booming and distorted sounds.  They would not recognize the difference at all.  
    It’s akin to serving an unfamiliar foreign culinary entree to an American palate and having them recognize and appreciate the flavor while growing up on a fast food, prepared food diet.

    I agree. In my opinion, Apple has been doing a wonderful job of bringing to the public, some very high quality drama series. This series looks fantastic and I’m looking forward to watching.

  • Apple releases watchOS 8 update for Apple Watch

    iyfcalviniyfcalvin
    peterhart said:
    Not sure about y’all, but I get an error message in the Watch app that says “Unable to Check for Update. An error occurred while checking for a software update” with Cancel and Try Again buttons. Pressing Try Again does nothing and Cancel, well, just takes you back one menu. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
    I had that happen as well. I run a vpn on my iPhone and I know that’s the culprit. I just disconnect the vpn while the update sets up and all is good.

  • Apple loses exclusive rights to 'iPhone' trademark for non-smartphone products in China

    iyfcalviniyfcalvin
    If you know how to do business in China, with a corrupt hierarchy, maybe Apple execs need to understand and follow protocol to ensure people are taken "care" of making things go smoothly. Me thinks some people at Apple have upset the "Apple"cart!
