    I still don’t get why these are called “AirPods”. Aren’t they headphones? Aren’t AirPods those little guys that go in your ears?
    I don't get why they're called headphones.  They're not phones and they go over your ears.   Maybe they should be called earspeakers, but in any case, AirPods makes about as much sense as headphones. 

    And even if it doesn't, what's the difference? 
    Headphones started out being used by telephone operators to keep their hands free while they worked.

  • Compared: Apple's 2020 iPad Air versus 2020 11-inch iPad Pro

    @AppleInsider Guys its two separate articles now where you make the mistake of stating the 2020 iPad Air has two speakers. It has the same 4 speaker design as the iPad Pro except they  are only advertised as operating  in landscape
    If you look at the specs page.. iPad Air is listed with Stereo Speakers and the iPad Pro is listed with Four Speaker Audio and the illustration looks different between the 2 when the speaker location is shown.

    Just the information that I was looking for, so thanks for posting this timely article. I'm disappointed that Apple didn't see fit to bump up the iPad Pro specs. That device should clearly be the high end device, and it's only marginally so with the iPad Air release. It's certainly not worth the extra $200, at least for my personal needs.
    I would wait for the tear down and actual testing before saying the Pro model isn't worth it. This is a overview of the new model not an actual review. Just my opinion of course.. B)

    It is not a review, it is just a spec comparison, that is correct. 

    A review is labeled with "Review" as the first word in the headline.

    Oh I am fully aware this isn't a review. OP seemed to be making a buying decision form the info in this overview/comparison.

    That device should clearly be the high end device, and it's only marginally so with the iPad Air release. It's certainly not worth the extra $200, at least for my personal needs.

    I guess I wasn't clear.. my opinion was to wait until there is an actual review and tear down before making a final decision.

  • China would prefer TikTok shut down in US instead of sold to domestic company

    Facebook, Google use personal data maninly for profitable marketing and advertising purposes. But TikTok is a Chinese Government Trojan horse app that uses personal data and access to seek out ways to breach companies, governments, and schools for the purpose of spying on specific individuals and for stealing intellectual property. There is no other way China could have advanced so quickly from having very little to now being on par with the same military, space and computing capacity and technologies as the US. We’ve spent many decades developing concepts, testing & refining them, so they can steal in minutes of downloading. They do not want another US company to see the code used in TikTok because it will prove the truth. I don’t like Trump, but actions against China are critical to the survival of the US. I hope Biden has enough! Intelligence, energy and strength to continue and even amplify these efforts.

    Can you please give us some links or back up to these accusations that you state, as though they are fact, specifically about the TikTok app?  I have my own opinions about the PRC government and stealing IP, spying etc.. but I would like to know where you got this info about Tiktok doing what you describe. This app is somehow gaining access to my iPhone 11 Pro Max and spying on me while I use the app a few minutes a week to watch some prank and sports video clips?

    There is a whole being said about China as fact with absolutely nothing to back it up.. I would like to have the info you and others seem to have?
