    The ad is great and wins awards.   Too bad the product doesn't.
    Use ours every day. To my wife and I its is perfect for what we want it to do. Play streamed music really well with excellent sound as we move about the room.

    Tenacity. That’s the key to being a success. 

    And here again we see the difference between real life and forum life. 

    Here: “The touch bar is a gimmick”

    The world of professionals where folk actually use Macs instead of just wishing they were cheaper PCs: “It’s quite handy for kicking off debug sessions or accessing functionality within a certain context.”

    This kid is going to get rich fast!

    Re Touch Bar:  Gimmick Shmimmick!  I use Touch Bar all the time, in Logic pro X, for example, it is so useful I can't use Logic on my other Macs now as I have forgotten how without a Touch Bar!  

     I want Apple to release standalone keyboards for Mac Pros and iMacs that have Touch Bar... Please Apple.
    I dont have the Touch Bar Mac, but I feel the same way about the absence of a home button on my phone. The interface on X is outstanding. I now have a hard time helping others or using my iPad. Who needs buttons.

    I had this happen to my original series 0 Watch, not fun. They wouldn’t replace it. Glue failed on a $600 Watch a month after the warranty expires and they could care less. 
    Meanwhile I've had my series 0 (48mm stainless steel with Milanese band which w/AppleCare cost almost $800) since June 2015 with no issues at all. Battery holds charge all day, usually still has 40% charge left when I put it on the charger at night. I guess that cancels out your experience. And so you decided not to repair it since Apple declined to out of warranty? Do you still have the watch? Do you sit around all day cursing Apple now? In another post you said the battery swelled? So which is it?
    I also have the series zero. works great except the breathe app only fires about 1 time per month. All else is fine, and mine is the aluminum model. 11 watch bands and counting.

  • Apple TV gets Dolby Atmos support, 'zero sign-on' for cable with tvOS 12

    ANd I am thinking that Atmos via a complement of slightly tweaked Homepods could be a very interesting scenario.
