Maybe I'm missing something, but I have no clue what the WSJ is talking about. If you look at the court document that shows the numbers, Apple's revenue from games was $5.2 billion in 2019. Sony's was $4.2 billion and Nintendo was $2.3 billion. I don't know how the WSJ figures Apple earns more than all those other companies combined when the numbers show otherwise.

However, it is _less_ likely that a vaccinated person would get sick and spread Covid.

Is there any data on this?

What I've read on this is that vaccinated people who get a delta-variant "breakthrough" infection seem to be more likely to be asymptomatically infectious.

From the studies I've seen, that seems to be the case. I think the statement that it's less likely a vaccinated person would get sick and spread Covid was true before the delta variant. On a personal basis, I got covid from a vaccinated person last month and I'm vaccinated as well.

Hopefully Apple does a better job than the iPad Pro at minimizing mini LED blooming with these new MacBook Pro's. 

From what I understand, the blooming problem was greatly exaggerated and barely visible even in the dark.

The problem is that photos taken with HDR phone cameras would attempt to boost the bloom - so those posting blooming pictures knew that their cameras were exaggerating the blooming effect and posted 'em anyway for dramatic effect. Sort of a lie by omission.

You'll never get rid of that blooming ... it's a side-effect of the technology.

So you either have a little blooming with mini-LED or dim OLED panels which can be washed out in sunlight - at least until micro-LED is perfected.

I do have the new iPad Pro with the mini-LED display. I don't think it's been exaggerated. It's very noticeable, especially in the dark. When you watch a movie, it bleeds on the top and bottom black bars. White text on a black background, it looks like there is a white box around them with the blooming. If you Google iPad Pro blooming and look at the images, those are a pretty accurate representation of what's happening. I don't think it's a lie at all. Sure it's possible there are some pictures out there with blooming enhanced due to HDR, but it really is noticeable and quite annoying. 

I wouldn't say little, it's actually a lot of blooming. Look at these pictures. These are pretty spot on and not exaggerating the blooming.

OLED is the way better option. Look at the iPhone's. They have OLED displays and there really aren't issues with sunlight washing out the displays. Unfortunately I don't think we will see micro-LED displays on iPhone's or iPad's anytime soon since the production cost is still expensive. 

Hopefully Apple does a better job than the iPad Pro at minimizing mini LED blooming with these new MacBook Pro's.

It’s up and functioning. Apple TV connected to an Atmos-capable system decodes it into true Atmos surround. iPhone plays surround on AirPods Pro. 

The quick Mono to Stereo to Spatial demo in the Made for Spatial playlist is a good starting point if you’re not sure what this is all about. 

It's really unfortunate the Apple TV doesn't support Hi-Res Lossless.
