Confused. "One feature we hope Apple to steal is the ambient audio mode that allows external audio to be passed through to your ears. This is great for talking to people with your earbuds in or walking down the street, still able to hear traffic.”…

Beware. I moved from a MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM to the 2018 Air with 16GB RAM. I love everything but the fan running constantly and the incredible lag time now on doing certain things even if only a few applications are open. It’s SLOW. It gets…

I own one. Keyboard does seem better than my MacBook Pro which had so many keyboard issues Apple finally replaced it. And the larger trackpad is a mixed bag. I had to give up on the MacBook Pro as a tiny graze of the trackpad would delete things o…

Fashion appeal? The case looks good, but the AirPods case is all about use. Likewise the AirPods. I never wanted them until I tried them. Thereafter never want to be without them. Amazing they are. These don't even look closer. The other adva…

TouchID is most of what I use my 15” Touch Bar for. And I would buy a 13”+ MacBook (not Air and not Pro) with TouchID in moments. The small one is too small a screen tho I love it, and TouchID is great on a laptop if you haven’t had it.

I turned 3D Touch off. More annoying than useful. There are so many fans here I may try it again. But at this point I will not even blink if it’s gone.

Interesting. I don’t buy leather products, so not in the cards for me however. And normally I don’t lose my wallet, thankfully.

I am a little confused. The larger Pro is losing 5.6mm in length, but the smaller of the two is gaining length?? This seems unlikely to me. 250.6 x 174.1 x 6.1 becomes 247.5 x 178.7 x 6 or gains 3.6mm in length? More than it loses in the two othe…

I love T-Mobile. When abroad. Free texting and date ( slow, but good enough). 20 cent/minute phone calls. Wifi calling works well. But in the USA they are the UN-Carrier indeed. Bad reception. Travel for work. One hotel only get reception on…

I don't hate Apple. But I DO hate the keyboard and the trackpad (more on the latter in a minute). Years of purchasing tons of Apple, got the 15" by spending the most ever and very disappointed. Some issues with short battery time unless I make ve…

As for not returning them in droves, what are the sale figures compared to previous models? Are they being sold in droves? There are huge discounts being offered on these, and I have to wonder what kind of stockpile Apple has. There doesn't se…

I have the 2017 model. Hate the keyboard. Had many issues. They have let up for a while. Space bar not registering. Letters stopping working. Compressed air and more. I have had MANY Apple laptops. This one is different. And the huge trackpad. …

I bought them at Costco. Wore them a week. Sweat paused the videos I was watching on the elliptical at the gym (and there was a fan--not my wettest day working out by a long shot). Stop-start again-stop-start again--volume up without me doing it,…

Add me to the list of the disappointed. 2017 MacBook Pro 15” and the most expensive Mac I ever purchased. Also thus the most disappointing. Periodically keys cease to work if dust gets under them. The spacebar was a major issue. If I spend lots…

One thing I discovered when one does not want to speak aloud to Siri to find things or dictate. You can hold the phone/microphone close to your mouth and whisper and it works rather well. Try it. Worked way better than I expected for when one wants…

Years ago my father thought e-Machines would be a good stock to own. Cheaper is better. I bought Apple. Selling something for nearly nothing can work, but not when function and experience matter.
