  • Early test suggests iPhone 11 Pro has 13% faster 4G LTE versus iPhone XS

    Apple released two models of each phone one is GSM and the other is CDMA. I would assume one is Qualcomm modem and the other Intel. Or both models have Intel modems and Qualcomm modem is coming in 2020? My guess is, we’ll see soon!

    I am so upset with all these cellphones. All I want is my old rotary phone back. I like the way things were back in the day. Things worked right? Who do you think I should sue the fruit company or the Dumdung?

    I switched from Spotify, Simply because Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis and not Apple’s native AAC codec. When you use Bluetooth headphones, compression algorithms like MP3 or Spotify’s Ogg Vorbis will need to be decoded by the iPhone then encoded into another lossy algorithm (AAC) before being transmitted to your headphones.



    On the iPhone, I believe any audio file is decoded, then re-encoded to pass via bluetooth.
    Even Apple's AAC.
    Why would you decode and re-encode AAC to AAC when your Bluetooth headphones support AAC natively?
    If you’re using a pair of AAC-compatible headphones, you’re theoretically getting no loss in audio quality from your stored AAC files (the iTunes standard) or streaming from the Apple Music service. Here is reference

    Best use scenario for iPhone users you will want a pair of headphones compatible with the AAC codec, then you want an AAC or Apple Lossless (ALAC) music library as your source. This will provide the cleanest sound quality possible, free from compounded compression your music would otherwise suffer.  

    Even if you have aptX HD compatible headphones you are still getting compounded compression when you stream Spotify music. (does not apply to iPhone users ) 

    Apple’s simplicity and near-universal compatibility in codecs is its biggest strength.

    To me, even if you gave me a free premium Spotify account, I would still choose Apple Music, it's just a better choice!
