    After 3 minutes I finally figured out why I couldn't see Apple Arcade anywhere. My iOS wasn't updated to v13. My current version of iOS, presumably v12, didn't tell me an update was due, even when I went to the App Store to look for updates. In fact even when I went to the General tab of my Settings app, where it usually warns me about updates, there was nothing indicating an update was available. But by pushing through the menus I was able to find the update. Anything that takes me 5 minutes to figure out doesn't pass my "mom and pop test."

    Anyone on these forums will know that iOS 13 is brand new, but I can assure you there are millions of people out there who don't follow Apple News like we do and won't be able to figure this out. Apple needs to start pushing iOS13.

    On another issue, when will Apple Arcade be available for macOS? The article talks about every platform except this one.
    Then they won't know about Arcade either, so no big deal.
    Today is the official release date of iOS13. Those little red dots are going to start showing up on everyone's phone over the next week or so.

  • Apple's AirPods fail to earn Consumer Reports recommendation, beaten by Samsung's Galaxy B...

    Keep in mind that Samsung now owns Harman International, parent company of AKG and JBL among others.
    It is quite clear that their audio engineering capabilities have improved tremendously. I would be surprised if they hadn't released a good headphone/earphone.

  • Everything new in iOS 13 beta 6

    Based on all that's supposedly new that have been listed so far, OS13 sounds to me like a fairly trivial set of changes.

    If it weren't for the additional security that it likely brings, I probably would not bother with it.
    These are only the changes noticed so far since the last beta, not all the iOS13 changes.

  • Questionable report claims iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s won't support iOS 13

    iPhone SE would be surprising. As some noted it is still produced in India. There should be radical shift in iOS that would need cut both A8 and small screens. Hard to guess whether new rumored homescreen needs bugger display. Anyway we will see soon so it is good to postpone purchases or speed up sale of old gear.
    In addition, it was only recently discontinued in the US. They've never not supported a device that recent.
