Or why not just flip the turtle on it’s back…now the on/off button is on the top and you get better ventilation with less dust.

I think the tariff talk is as much a way for an authoritarian movement to shake down domestic corporations to make sure they stay in line as much as a way to offset trade deficits.  In the first Trump administration he quickly caved to Chinese concerns and was just as likely to use tariffs in negotiating with other western countries.  This time around the tariffs will ironically be used against Mexico to assist with curbing illegal immigration.  Cook has been friendly with Trump and will play his game.  I bought into the anti-Chinese rhetoric with the first Trump go around (and lost money as an investor).  But now I know it is bullshit.

Agree with StrangeDays and Charlesn’s comments.  The main issue isn’t the device as it will evolve and get better and lighter and leas expensive but Apple needs to make CONTENT.  I would push to make immersive content for all AppleTV shows and sporting events.

If content is available, users will purchase the device at various cost points and wait until more productive uses become known and available.

Thanks for this article and clarifying what SOS means and how to deal with it:

It is hard to imagine ANC that is "much better" than the current AirPod Pro 2, since it is already mind-bogglingly good, especially for an earbud. In fact, I stopped traveling with my Airpods Max because I found that the ANC of the APP2 was just as good, even though the APM have the advantage of both active and passive noise cancellation. I'll be curious to hear (or not hear) Apple's latest advances in ANC. 

Yeah agree, I think that AirPod Pro V2 are amazing.  In my ear they sound better than my AirPods Max by a country mile and the ANC is great in noisy Miami.  The combination of iPhone, Apple Music and my AirPods Pro v2 are so good that if I was younger I would probably have never gotten addicted to collecting vinyl which is saying alot.
