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.

That is unfortunate. 

But I’m really here to find out who makes that awesome iPhone stand. Also to request AI to review the Max Stand on the left. I was disappointed that it didn’t make it into the recent article about the best AirPods Max accessories. Please do a formal review. 

Not sure if they'll approve my last comment because I included a link, but I found that iPhone stand, it's actually a dual charger, look up MAG:2 Essentials. 

Also, The Max Stand looks freakin awesome, this is the first time I've heard of it.

I can't take anything in this article seriously because you obviously have hardly even used Apple Fitness.
Case in point: "You cannot filter workouts by exercise equipment"
You absolutely can. You have been able to since day 1. I use this feature all the time to find workouts that use my dumbbells.
You can even make it show you all workouts that require NO equipment, which was another gripe of yours.

I personally love Apple Fitness and use it for all of my strength/core training at least twice a week and even do some yoga and meditation/cool down exercises.
To even compare it to TikTok at all is a JOKE.

It's a shame they didn't make a separate one for each of the 3 iphone styles. It really doesn't make sense with its size is so constrained by the mini, a phone that I've never seen in the wild with an actual person.

What would be significant in introducing such a function? If my head is turned to the right will I hear more drums and to the left more guitar? I seem to be missing the point of the reason to even take into account the person’s head movements when listening to Apple Music.

That's why that's not at all what this will be in Apple Music. There seems to be some confusion. It's spatial in that you will hear things in a 3d environment, rather than it sounding like coming from a set of stereo speakers, clever audio engineering, PURELY on the mixing side (nothing to do with the headphones), can reproduce a virtual headspace like traditionally mixed music does not deliver. I have not tried it yet, so it's yet to be seen how dramatic of an effect there will be, but I'd wager it's going to sound good.
This is different than the spatial audio feature/gimmick? of sound moving when you turn your head while watching something on a screen. They're using the same name, but there are different subsets of it. Therefore any old pair of headphones will be able to reproduce the new spatial audio.
