I decided to write to my Ontario (Canada) MPP. If anyone wants to do the same, feel free to use this: Hello! I read that Apple has recently updated the countries with access to the hearing aid features of the Airpod Pro to another 13 countries. Can…

mknelson said: Annoyingly, the Canadian Federal government approved the hearing aid features many months ago, but several provinces are sticking with OTC hearing products requiring a prescription so nobody in Canada can access the hearing aid…

goog said: Amazing that Apple put the hearing-aid capabilities in the AirPod Pro 2 but not the Powerbeats Pro 2 which is better suited for this (thanks to the ear hook). Shame on Apple for leaving it out of the Powerbeats Pro 2 It requires F…

whodiini said: Hard to believe a review of an audio product has zero mention about the sound! Like reviewing a car without mentioning how the car drives, or .... You get the idea. People spending $249 dont care how it sounds???? Persona…

Credit card restrictions exist for a reason. One is to some extent fraud, but more importantly it's how they get certainty that you live where you are. It's super easy to make up a valid address, but a lot harder to put in a valid credit card for th…

It would be neat if Apple were to integrate some kind of LED based app-context-sensitive keys right into their keyboards, maybe a row way up at the top or something...

I've listened to the podcast; it's good and CarPlay is just 5 min of the one hour interview. I'm coming from the perspective (as it was framed) of CarPlay as we know it. Many of the comments here seem to consider the full-UI replacement CarPlay that…

tht said: I think the iPad mini rev will have either an A16 SoC or TSMC N3E A18 SoC. Also, wouldn't mind a rebranding to iPad Air 9". Yes, increasing the display size to 9" or 8.8" whatever. There really isn't any reason for it to have a…

How does your comment relate to calculating surcharges? To modify... it is a 43% surcharge on app prices / a 30% tax on developers. What do you think retailers charge as a markup on hard goods on the store shelf? In the "old days" of buying …

twolf2919 said: Literally everything you wrote in support of Fisker also holds for Rivian. Although I think it very unlikely that Apple will buy any car company, Rivian would be a better fit for Apple for one simple reason: they have indicated…

schlack said: $24 per YEAR. SMH. Uh, no. It doesn't stop working after a year, you just don't get updates and bug fixes. Can't imagine how they could afford to do that ongoing for $24 (or $100) one-time given the nature of what they do (su…

darelrex said: I can't imagine how I would justify such an opinion.. unless I had a severe, ulterior dislike of Apple and its customers, and on that basis I hungered for any rationale for Apple to be screwed with in any way possible. I think …

charlesn said: Maybe I misunderstand the market for Apple Pencil, but this has always seemed like a fairly specialized accessory for a certain segment of iPad users, but not something that the mass market wants or needs... which makes it bewi…

williamh said: I don’t think F1 racing is carbon neutral and that’s something Apple cares about. Maybe Apple ought to push or pay to start an e-racing league. There is e-racing: Formula E. It's not nearly as popular as F1. I also think …

Since when was it expected that we'd blindly follow software? Just use Maps to look at the map / satellite view or the photo in the article. The pavement is torn away, it couldn't be clearer that this is not somewhere you want to go. It's also on a …
