Ordered two Ultra's, one for myself and one for my son. Two friends also ordered Ultra's None of us do the "rugged/extreme" activities associated with its purpose, but are all active in multiple ways, and I will be adding hiking to my activities in…

I've emailed Apple multiple times on this, as I"m sure many have. I NEVER use the iPad in a portrait mode, and most anyone I observe with a tablet is always using it in landscape mode - its more natural to hold this way, matches the aspect ratio we …

Union organizers across Apple's retail footprint say that pay has fallen below living wages in many markets, including Atlanta. It's not really the sole responsibility of a company to pay a "living wage" whatever that really means. You should …

I don't understand the mass-market use case for a foldable phone. The way the vast majority of us utilize a phone - constantly referencing and glancing at it for dozens of tasks, from morning to night, who wants to constantly open and close it? What…

How unique/large/coveted is the Roomba user base or brand? $1.7BN? Clearly you should be able to develop an equal or superior product for a small fraction of that. I suppose Amazon does not have the engineering or product design skill sets to do …

I've always felt Apple is working this from two angles - they are developing and patenting a lot of tech I surmise that "could" be used in their own vehicle or "could' be used partnering with an existing major manufacturer. The next version of CarP…

Not specific to this topic, but while we're on new features... PLEASE have the charge audio tone follow the focus mode, so that if in Sleep mode, it is silent and doesn't twern at high volume when I place the phone on the charger on my nightstand a…

It must be The American Dream mail across from Giant Stadium - it is enormous... https://www.americandream.com/# I've gone twice, just to the "luxury" wing there (mostly stores are empty and boarded ), so haven't seen much else of it. I assume App…

I have several HomePods, and do love the sound - I think Siri however is sometimes wonky, so perhaps an improved onboard processor is needed...

I own everything Apple, but I have a tough time with the use case for this. I'm not a gamer, but I would think from Apple's perspective, a gamer focus "mostly" would be a long-term failure. I've thought AR for vertical business uses would be a grea…
