rcfa said: Should have sold it in pairs as an AppleTV accessory, rather than as single speakers. Anyone who cares about sound wants stereo, and the ability to use two as stereo pair and in conjunction with an AppleTV was utterly under commun…

As a HomePod die-hard, I will say the big difference is that HomePod never sold out. The Airpods Max were impossible to buy at almost any price for weeks—some colors are still backordered. So even if high demand doesn't continue, there is a bigger m…

Unless this law is unfairly crafted to specifically target Apple it will have huge (and probably unforeseen) consequences. Microsoft also has an App Store. Would this mean they can no longer sell Office through that store? Or will subscriptions be c…

StrangeDays said: ah, sounds like PiP will no longer be completely useless. I hate it currently, all it does is allow me to accidentally activate it while trying to edge-click back or forwards...particularly frustrating because the feature w…

Japhey said:Also, I wonder if the PiP camera feeds from HomeKit are setting the stage for teleconferencing and FaceTime in the next hardware update. That’s second on my wishlist and it pisses me of that Facebook did it first. I hope so too. …

I think we'll see variants of the A14 processor in more than just the phones so it may that Apple is thinking ahead to other refreshed lines: iPad Pros, iPads, Apple TV, and maybe MacBooks.

I think you're overlooking the possibility that Apple is betting heavily on AR and yet still doesn't have a solid AR development platform. This is at least the hardware. I think part of the justification was trying to the rights tools in the hands o…

The reason these are so expensive isn't the optical cable it is the transceivers that are built into each end. I agree it would be great if those were sold separately and we could purchase optical runs according the length we need for less. That wou…

I'm not sure even the A12X will be enough to smooth out the gaming. At 4K HDR the Apple TV box is throwing around over double the amount of data. The A12X GPU is impressive but falls short of the latest consoles which struggle with that. The latest …

As a professional voice actor/narrator I could see this making a lot of sense and the cost of my microphone plus apogee duet is about this price. Of course, going this route means a single point of failure so ideally I'd buy two (gulp!) and I'm way …

*If* HomePods and AppleTVs are sold at a loss, then I suspect it is including development costs but not including service fees (Apple Music, iTunes, etc.) We’ll never know because Apple doesn’t break out sales by item anymore, much less margin by de…
