Apple TV+ boasts highest bitrate of any 4K streaming service, report says
I am using Samsung Series 7 3.1.2 Channel Atmos Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer, and See easily reach 4Mbps.uktechie said:Wait! What?
“Audio bitrates of 386 Mbps”
I think you mean kbps. That sounds reasonable for Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 but Netflix offer 960 kbps for Dolby Atmos.4K Blu-Ray Dolby Atmos audio can easily reach 4 or 5 Mbps and I’ve never seen any streaming service come close.

Good thing my internet at home is unlimited. Watching See on 65" QLED screen in 4k full resolution is such a joy.

iPhone 11 Pro versus Pixel 4 - comparing the best smartphone cameras
Pixel was designed to focus on having the best camera for Android smartphone - nothing else, so it's fair to compare the best with iPhone camera. While iPhone do not appear to win all, they seem to win what matters: photographer and professional filmmaker.hucom2000 said:I‘m a bit disappointed that Apple isn‘t clearly winning all of these shoot-outs.
They are making such a fuss about their camera systems, the custom silicone without which this image quality wouldn‘t be possible...
Turns out the competition can achieve (more or less) the same without access to such chips.It‘s all just marketing, make belief (and software) then?

Apple TV+ versus Disney+ compared -- the streaming wars escalate
So far I am happy with AppleTV+ contents. Can't comment about Disney+ since it's only available in 5 countries, while AppleTV+ is available almost everywhere. But I think they are different in terms of how they approach the market. Disney+ is like Netflix, it's about offering as much contents as possible. AppleTV+, like all of Apple products, is polished, exclusively only available on AppleTV apps (I can watch some Disney movies on Netflix so they are not exclusive) and emphasize more on quality than quantity. But the biggest difference is that AppleTV+ seems like a service that has one purpose: to support Apple ecosystem/hardware. -
Editorial: Google's acquisition of Fitbit looks like two turkeys trying to make an eagle
Good thing Apple has moved away from “1 product revenue” company, while Google still struggling with that with no foreseeable solutions.anantksundaram said:
What a great quote. I'll steal it.AppleExposed said:I once heard a quote:
"Google....where companies go to die" or something like that.
In all seriousness, this is a company without a serious Product B, despite two decades of existence, $900B market cap and multiple expensive acquisitions. Search -- i.e., peddling advertising -- is still 8 of every 10 of their revenue dollars.
