  • If you updated your HomePod to 13.2, do not reset it or remove it from the Home app

    Is there a way to tell if the HomePods updated or not?  I haven't looked but I am guessing there is a way to see the HomePods' install version on the iPhone or Mac somewhere?
    On your phone or iPad in the Home app. Click the home button at the top left and then click on Software Updates. It will then show you. You can turn off "Install Updates Automatically" while you are there.

    I am normally the annoying guy at the table defending Apple to the end. However, I have to say this has not been a good month of software rollouts. Staggered releases with changing dates with bugs, bugs and more bugs. This HomePod issue really should necessitate someone losing their job. The other issues this month were excusable, I guess. But, this one is not.

  • Don't update to iOS 13 just yet -- wait for iOS 13.1

    I appreciate the intent of the article, to warn people that they might have some problems if they update now. However, it is very disappointing that AI chose not to detail the bugs so that users could have an informed decision to make. The one bug you chose to throw in at the end of the article is one that apparently is easily remedied without waiting for the 13.1 update.

  • Apple TV+ predicted to hit 12M subscriptions in 2020, 21M by 2021

    If you attract 10 million subscribers at say $9.99 a month yet attract 50 million subsribers at 5.99 a month, the math suggests $5.99 is the better option. 

     Consider that if you charge so little that many subscribers to other streaming services sign on because it's such a small additional cost, your potential subscriber base is dramatically expanded. If instead of having to convince consumers to pick your streaming service instead of an alternative service like Netflix, you offer your service as a compliment, many more consumers would potentially sign up. 

    Also, consumers already can have volume from established players in the streaming space. If all the participants struggle to produce a volume of offerings that justifies higher and higher subscription rates, the quality will be spread alarmingly thin. There is only so much quality production that can be conjured up. There is already a lot of junk served up as it is on services like Netflix. Lots of good content, sure, but a lot of filler, too. Apple shouldn't be looking to add to the junk pile.
    I completely agree with you. However, my gut says Apple does not do that. When has Apple taken that approach? They always go the high end route.

    Am I the only person that does not give a f#@k about emojis?
