  • AirTag review: sets out to do one thing, and does it near perfectly

    Keys I get. Everyone misplaces keys. But what other item, that is sufficiently large to attach an AirTag to, do people misplace? Has anyone, ever, really lost a back pack, or forgot your carry-on luggage? And even if, these are three items.  I’d love to read ideas because I ordered four AirTags and I don’t yet know what to do with them!

  • Apple discontinues full-size HomePod, to focus on HomePod mini

    I wrote this in a different post; the reason they abandoned this product is because they could not sketch a regular upgrade cycle for the HomePod, like they have for iPhone, Watch, AirPods, Macs, and iPads.

  • Apple discontinues full-size HomePod, to focus on HomePod mini

    I find this truly shocking. I cannot find a speaker with better sound anywhere near £260. If it exists, please tell me. Much less one that is integrated with Apple. What shall I do, have a HomePod Mini AND a third party speaker in the living and the family room? Not very nice. 

    Seriously, too expensive? This company sells headphones for £500 and little ear sticks for £250.

    They should have just added Bluetooth instead of discontinuing it. I am sad. 

    (Let’s face it: the reason they discontinued it is because they could not figure out a regular upgrade cycle that consumers buy into).

  • 'Ted Lasso" nominated for three Writers Guild of America awards

    My family was initially hesitant to watch it, because the premise seems quite shallow. But now they are hooked as the show has unexpected depth, not least because of a stellar supporting cast led by Hannah Waddingham hiding her pain behind civilised composure; Juno Temple acting on her suspicion that she is more than a WAG; and also Nick Mohammed's average bloke. And ultimately, the message that it is OK to be nice to people to achieve success.

  • 2021 iPad predicted to resemble iPad Air, no major changes coming for iPad Pro

    I wonder if it will still have a SmartConnector? I love charging my iPad Pro 10.5-inch on the Logi Base Charging Stand with Smart Connector; but for some reason, that iPad Pro does not support spatial audio (I do not understand why not, I think that is really disappointing). I would like to get a newer iPad, but do not want to lose the "MagSafe-like" charging on the stand.
