  • How AirPods & AirPods Pro get even better with iOS 14

    It would be really great if the charging case (and maybe even the buds!) could be updated to chirp out BLE packets for reception by the wider "Find My" network. This seems like a glaring omission, as the current "Find My" AirPods feature is completely useless when the buds are in their case or when they move away from their owner's iDevice.
    Buy AirTag (this year) and stick it to the end of AirPod case.

    There is no chance I will ever opt into this. A metal car key is going with me everywhere. It can't fail. Phones and tech stuff in a car can. Yes, its nice to have in a backup, but I'm not leaving without a metal car key in my pocket. There is no chance, that in my lifetime, apple or a car manufacturer can make anything as reliable.
    I leave my debit card at home and have never touched it since the bank gave it to me, relying only on my phone to draw cash from ATM. Never have a failure once in 3 years.

    Why the heck Cardiogram app doesn’t support Sign in with Apple? I thought this feature is universal???

    All these Silicon Valley firms just do not like doing anything to help their country!  But that the way they feel!
    Blind nationalism is cute. 

    “Helping their country” - Apple have businesses, employees and acquisitions in a long list of countries and pay taxes in even more. 

    Government contracts such as these pose an immediate conflict of interest. Want to be the next Huawei?


    I agree with him somewhat. Just think about in WW 2 if all the best minds in the US don't help the government it will be harder and more costly in lives to defeat the Nazi. All Chinese corporates will be imperative to help the CCP so this will put the US at a great disadvantage.
    But then again, we're currently looking at Huawei with mistrustful eyes because of that so there's that aspect involved as well.
    OTOH just think about in WWII if the best minds in Germany didn't help the government. Then the war might not have happened at all.
    In dictatorial state they have no choice, just like in China today.

    Comparing China to Nazi Germany or suggesting that we are at war with them is an example of the impact of propaganda on the poorly informed.
