  • Apple unveils new AirPods with Wireless Charging Case, 50% more talk time & 'Hey Siri' [u]...

    It would seem to me they’re already water (and detergent) proof:

    I thought I had lost my AirPods a couple of weeks ago - until I found them on the bottom of my washing machine, after a 40 minute cycle at 40C/105F. They worked perfectly (and of course they’re nice and clean too)!

    Nevertheless I suppose I should recommend not to do this intentionally...

    Amazing quality and performance already, now about to be improved further.
    That happened to me with two different pair of airpods. Both survived. Pretty amazing.

    $79 for the wireless charging case. Apple is effing crazy. I picked up a case at the local Apple reseller for $30. I could see paying more if it offered more and still the sound quality of the AirPods is fair to partly cloudy. But to each his or her own. 
    I'm curious what you bought. Do you have an Amazon link or something?
    They are basically sleeves for the current AirPods case, ranging from $20-40.  
    $20
    $36
    $40
    $79 for Apple's case may be worth it for those who want OEM peace of mind.  For others, not so much.  YMMV
    Most likely I’ll be selling my old airpods for around $100, and paying $100 to get longer battery life plus wireless charging plus hey Siri which will be great for the car. A much better deal than my first airpods purchase.

    SMH... More Fusion drives on the entry SKUs? Why on Earth can't Apple transition these EXPENSIVE machines to solid state like the rest of their line up? This isn't even amusing anymore... Apple is hocking an old design that could be dramatically improved with a few simple changes to improve cooling. And still hopelessly stuck on AMD Vega graphics, with no ability to choose. I've said this before, I'll say it again... Tim Cook is the absolute worst thing that ever happened to the Mac. The Mac is dying.
    Not just hyperbole, but ridiculous hyperbole at that... iMac Pro, new Mac mini, iMac update, far from dying Apple is refocusing on the Mac.

  • Apple debuts 2019 iPad Air with A12 Bionic chip and enhanced 10.5-inch display

    Thinking about this in terms of what our school did last year, this makes a ton of sense. We bought the cheaper iPad for the students and the 10.5 pro for the teachers. We could have saved a ton of money had this been available last year and when we upgrade as long as this setup is still going we will save a ton of money.

    We have to be honest Samsung hit this out the ball park while apple gives us the same stuff at higher prices , you can just do so much more with samsung phones 
    “We” don’t have to “be honest” if honesty is having your opinion. Objective honesty doesn’t  apply to opinion.
