I don't understand how squeezing (which requires both the thumb and forefinger) is better than tapping. What if I'm wearing gloves? I can easily tap with gloves, but how am I supposed to get my thumb between the AirPod and my ear without pulling t…

Wait- I am going to pay $250 and I can't use it with my Mac running Sierra? Really? Why not? They're just bluetooth headsets, right? My JBL works with my Mac, why won't these?

Wouldn't have been nice if Apple had included an non-hidden lightning port so we could all charge our remotes directly from the Apple TV instead of having to connect it to some other device/wall socket to charge it? Seriously, if it's there anyway,…

"exceeded our standards." is meaningless. If the standard is a minimum, then exceeding the standard is good ("we are better than our minimum"). If the standard is a maximum, then it's bad (the level reached is too high). Of course, they mean the …

I'll add that I also have a 2012 rMBP which is going strong (having replaced the screen, battery and internal SSD) with every port I need actually built in (imagine that!!). The new MBP will be VERY expensive, especially since I will need dongles g…

The current "15" inch MBP is actually 15.4 inches diagonally. So this would be adding "only" 0.6 inches diagonally. Still, nice improvement for a marginally larger laptop.

Do you think they will one day let us have non-contiguous icons on the Home screen? I'd love to have a blank row or "holes" of icons to better visually separate out groups (without having to put them in folders). Such and obvious thing and yet, 9 …

Very nice, but you don't explain HOW B&H can afford to give everyone between an8-10% discount. If I buy something for $100 and the sales tax is 8%, I would normally have to pay $108. But they're giving me an $8 rebate, so the cost is $100 incl…

I wish they would bring back the capability of copying PART of a text message. It's SO BRAINDEAD that I have to copy an entire message, paste it and then delete the 90% of the message I don't want. Idiots...

Before Apple even thinks of making a clipboard manager, they first need to fix copying in Messages! It's no longer possible to copy PART of a message. You have to copy the entire bubble, paste it, and only then can you select and delete parts. Thi…

So here's my question: what about using 2 HomePods to replace the left and right front speakers in a surround sound system. Would that work? Would it be worth it?

The one option I wish Apple would add is to automatically "swipe up" if I have no notifications. Very often I've read my notifications and just want to unlock my iPhone X and get going. Why should I have to "swipe up" once the phone is unlocked? …

This is NOT helpful!! You still need two hands to do the swipe down from the top. How does this allow one to reach the top of the screen with just 1 hand if you have to go the top of the screen to enter Reachability mode? This is ridiculous!

" the price premium of iPhone X over iPhone 8 is just $50 shy the price of a new iPhone SE" This is slightly disingenuous. The correct comparison (both price-wise and feature-wise) is not the iPhone 8 but the iPhone 8 plus. The 8+ and the X have …

"When held in portrait mode, the cameras would be side-by-side, allowing for depth perception and 3D imagery matching the orientation of the user's own eyes." I think you meant to write: "When held in LANDSCAPE mode..." In portrait mode the cam…

I think they should call it the iPhone 6e as in: You won't find a 6e-er phone anywhere! ;-)

The $1,359 price includes a 19% (!!) VAT. Adding 19% to $1,079 (the US price without tax) yields $1,284. So it's really only $75 more in Germany than in the US (which probably covers translation costs and higher wages). Just saying that it's not …

Sorry- I guess I wasn't clear. Yes, Google did do maps and wearables, but Apple leapfrogged them and did them better. What I was trying to say was Apple will not just "do" a self-driving car- it will leapfrog Google and be better. Perhaps it's mo…

Apple is NOT building a self-driving car. They don't follow Google- they lead. Apple never has and never will copy Google- they will leapfrog them. Wait and see...
