  • Apple having trouble syncing audio between wireless AirPods - report

    lanklank
    This makes sense. I have hearing aids that work with my iPhone. They are great in many ways. But, this is one issue, since they have separate connections things can get a little strange "between the ears" at times when listening to sound from my iPhone. I thought this was why the Beats earphones have a wire between them when the AI review of the Beats earphones asked for complete wireless. Be careful what you ask for. I hope they have a good solution. Bless those Apple engineers.

    Do you keep all your jewelry and dinner ware encased in a protective wrapping so they don't get broken? The iPhone is a beautiful thin and light device that is a joy to use the way Apple designed it. Why do you want to hide it and add a bunch of bulk and weight to such a well designed device. Despite their fine packaging, I don't know of anyone who leaves theirs in the box. I have carried iPhones since the first one and not had a loss that would have been prevented by a case. If you want to hide your jewelry you are welcome to, but don't tell other people what to do with theirs.
    You want to do this so in the event you do drop it accidentally, or it falls off a table, etc it doesn't get broken, scratched, etc. Yes its pretty, but I'm not gonna continuously shell out $100 for replacement phones or let it get all scratched up so it doesn't look so pretty anymore just so I can show off a phone everyone else already has. For me, I want the best resale value I can get as it pays for my replacement phone when my contract is up. The replacement is $199 (+ AppleCare+) and I can typically sell my old phone and make up that cost. If the phone is all scratched to hell with broken glass it isn't gonna sell for shit. 

    Plus, people know what an iPhone looks like...its not like you or I are the only ones running around with an iPhone in their hand/pocket. I don't need to show it off to everyone. 
    I said nothing about showing it off! I enjoy using a well designed product. It slips easily into and out of my pocket. (Except my jeans when I am sitting down.) It feels good in my hand and fits in my pocket. I enjoy looking at it. I really don't care if anyone else sees me using it. I do not "show it off." It is the gargantuan ugly encased in rubber androids, or the bling encased gaudy messes that I notice people "showing off." By the way my grandkids also enjoy using my unincased iPhone regularly, and have never broken one. They treat it like the valuable thing that it is. Just like my family and friends enjoy using my dishes that are not encased in rubber to avoid breakage. Oh, and by the way, I have never had a problem reselling or passing on my older iPhones and they are not "all scratched to hell with broken glass."
