  • Apple inadvertently confirms May 21 availability for iPad Pro, M1 iMac, Apple TV 4K

    So when can we order?
    Midnight Apple (west coast) time or some other time in the day?
    The website does not say.

  • Apple burns early iPad Pro adopters, loyal customers with Magic Keyboard incompatibility

    Rayz2016 said: Apple knows that no one who bought the last generation iPad Pro is going to be looking to buy another one just yet. 
    Not so fast on speculating
    I will be upgrading from the current to the new, but will be going from 256 GB and WiFi to 1TB and 5G. I think at this point I will be getting out of the laptop space (MacBooks of any type) and just using desktop Macs and an iPad Pro.

  • Peloton cuts Apple Watch Fitness support back to just the cycling class

    Peloton? 

    Buy a real bike and go outside!
    Yes... because winter weather doesn't happen. 
    You can take your real bike and put it on an indoor stand in bad weather. They can be bought at almost any cycle shop.

    The Peloton is a really expensive and desperately overpriced Exercycle.

  • Smartmi P1 becomes newest air purifier with HomeKit support [U: Now available]

    For those considering improving the air quality in their homes I would suggest they take a long and hard look at whole house solutions instead of these small and expensive products. They have a purpose but a system added to your HVAC can do a better job, is quieter, uses less electricity, is easily maintained or repaired by HVAC pros and in TCO will prove to cost less. They usually are placed in your attic or basement near the air handler of the Central HVAC system.

    Buy a couple of these as discrete devices and for multiple places in the home and you have spent a lot of money and will be using a lot of electricity. 

    You can get HEPA grade filtration, UV light to neutralize  VOCs and viruses, an HRV/ERV to keep your air fresh while recovering much of the conditioned air temperature and humidity and you will notice the difference. In humid climates like the Southeast or coastal areas an in line dehumidifier can greatly increase comfort and lighten the load on your Air Conditioner. In dryer climates (and cold climates in winter) a humidifier can make you more comfortable.

    I would really like to see Apple reach out to the makers of these systems and integrate them into HomeKit.

  • US House approves report accusing Big Tech of monopolistic behavior

    I find it is curious that media companies that collude to keep you buying bundles of media regardless of delivery method (cable, satellite, streaming) are not called out but companies that are voluntarily used like Google, FB, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft are being “investigated”.

    Disney, Comcast and AT&T are far more worthy of investigating over anti-competitive and anti-consumer behavior.
