Monoprice headphones and true wireless earphones review: good sound and comfort for the pr...
We used a lot of the Monoprice cabled headphones in studios over the years. They sounded OK and did the job for musicians to monitor when playing.
And if a pair walked away after a session, the loss of a $25 set of cans was no biggy.

Apple faces higher taxes after G7 agree to global tax rate changes
The 12 mini I recently bought was only $80 more than my first iPhone, a 4S.elijahg said:
Which is exactly what I have done since Cook ballooned iPhone prices. I had a new iPhone every other year since the original, until the 6S. Since then I have only bought one: the X - and that was second hand. Cook's absurd pricing has caused them to lose a number of iPhone sales from a historically avid fan, and thus average revenue from me has nosedived in the latter 5 years compared to the 5 before. ASP is up, but that is meaningless. Many of my friends have switched away from iOS or are still rocking an ancient iPhone 6, and they all say it's down to the crazy prices.crowley said:Maybe I will, maybe I won't. But some people definitely won't, they'll go somewhere else, or put off that upgrade another year;
It's a significantly more capable device for very little extra money.
If you're comparing a Pro Max with 3 cameras (5 actually) to older phones, well.....

FCC launches official speed test app for broadband data collection program
Downloaded the FCC test and ran it on my 12 mini. 96 Mbs down, 16 Mbs up
Re-Ran it using Ookla that I have on my phone. 631 Mbs down, 17.1 Mbs up.
Both tests over WiFi via Comcast.
Different tests choose different routes, which obviously makes a huge difference, generally on download speed. -
Intel takes aim at Apple, instead shoots itself in the dongle
Even if all your ports are USB-C, you will still need different cables for high power, or high data rates or both.
The fun part is they all have the same connectors, but are not interchangeable.

iPhone 11 selfie camera fails to crack DxOMark's top-ten list
The front facing camera on my iPhone is very consistent since I placed tape over the lens.
