    I am glad that Apple is looking into both... It’s nice to have choice.

  • Apple Watch alerts YouTuber to potential tachycardia

    The Apple Watch 4 ECG is a one lead early warning system PERIOD. And clearly states that it has detected something out the ordinary in your normal behavior and to seek a medical opinion.

  • Mac shipments continue to slide in Q4 as PC market grows

    “Danger, men playing with numbers!”
    Comparing PC shipments across the board is like comparing car shipments across the board. Ferrari numbers will always come in lower than Ford’s numbers.
    It’s the same with comparing HomePod sales. You never see a survey comparing equipment across voice assistance hardware. That’s because HomePods are not even in the same class!

  • AirPods Pro firmware update sacrifices noise cancellation quality for bass

    geekmeegeekmee
    The thought that struck me spontaneously was: ok, so I buy a product with certain a set of “performance parameters”, one of them being sound quality and another being the ANC. Now an update changes these performance parameters significantly - so I don’t have the product I paid for, and maybe I would not have bought them / kept them had this been the performance from the start. I wonder to what extent that would allow you to return them after such a change, and in how far this may constitute an unauthorized modification of your property and have legal implications. 
    If you look at the VW Diesel scandal, eg obviously owners are entitled to return the car/damages already based on the fact that the software update required to comply with the standards lead to a performance decrease. 

    No. I don’t own them. No I’m not an ambulance chaser. I’m just curious since my subjective perception is that such things happen more and more often (Apple and this case being just one example). 
    “Maybe” is the operative word here.
    ”May constitute an unauthorized modification”
    I would go back to law school to take this case.
    Most of the complaints I hear about are from people who don’t own AirPods or AirPod Pros, which makes it pretty tough to show harm I or intent to cause harm.
    Can you say? FUD
