  • How to decide between two HomePods or a Sonos system for a home theater

    applebynatureapplebynature
    I'm currently using two of the mentioned Ikea/Sonos Symfonisk speakers together in stereo, wirelessly paired to the AppleTV. I don't have an audiophile's ears but they sound really great. And with the built in AirPlay I can easily stream music to them too. To me this is the perfect setup for someone on a strict budget, at just $240 for the pair. I know there's no Atmos with this setup and obviously no surround sound whatsoever, so I'll eventually upgrade and have these on my secondary TV. But in the meantime these are 1,000x better than the built in TV speakers, cheaper and higher quality than many sound bars, and offers more separation between the L/R channels than a sound bar. They work well with the AppleTV, but they can't be set to default like the HomePods can be, so my only real complaint is that it's fairly often that I have to select them again as audio output from the control center.

    Why do they call it "earnings miss" or "failed to meet expectations"?
    Apple is just working on doing what they do, making great devices and providing innovative services.
    Call it what it is.  The prognosticators are pretty lame at making predictions.
    Maybe a better benchmark would be how many (or few) employees were laid off?
    Welcome to Capitalism. You're a bit late to the party, as it's already begun it's decline. But at least you'll get to play along for another few decades as it inevitably gets even worse. Always every increasing profits and production for the sake of the stock market is a necessity.

  • Apple's Studio Display doesn't shine in the light of competition

    You can not have a legitimate comparison when we have absolutely no idea as to the price point of the S9. They're so close on specs, it will absolutely be the price as the main factor here. And why have such an article when you haven't even been able to review the monitor.
    If the S9 comes in for under $1000, it will be a formidable choice, at least until Apple updates their display lineup. Lets revisit this when we know a price and can actually review the thing.
