    Painless preorder process for Apple Upgrade Program,. App didn't make me wait long. Didn't stutter. No need to start over. Over and done in less than a minute.

    Then again, they have had decades of practice.... ;)
    Ditto!       I did find it odd that the carriers aren't having anything different to offer from Apple's options this time around.   



    Yes. They did. AT&T was offering $1,000 for my 12Pro. Apple was only allowing $220 I believe.
    Ordered through the Apple site with the AT&T plan. Simple and painless.

  • FDA approves AirPods Pro 2 hearing aid features

    How does this work when AirPods Pro 3 or whatever future models eventually comes out? Will they need to get approval for each version or does this apply to the entire series of AirPod Pros going forward? Could that slow down the timeline of each release?

    Likely will need separate approval for each model. If the underlying software is the same, then separate approval would come much more quickly from the FDA.
    Would not affect the timeline for two reasons. One, they can always add as an update for each model just like they are doing here or two, they build the expected timeline for FDA approval into the launch plans from the start.

  • AirPods Max just got the laziest and most disappointing update possible

    It's no longer a technical barrier, and hasn't been for years. Bluetooth 6 can convey high bitrate lossless audio wirelessly.

    For some reason Apple didn't bother with it, and stayed on Bluetooth 5.0.

    Not going to argue the other points, bu wasn't the BT 6 standard just adopted? If so, to expect upgrades to BT would seem unrealistic.

    Really? More people subscribe to podcasts than TV?

    So, the same miniLED displays that are in MBP models? Tandem OLEDs?

    And Ross Young deleting the squib means he got it wrong, and this component is for something else?

    Or maybe Apple made him pull it, because it was close to accurate.
