  • Apple is engaged in a 'silent war' against Google, claim engineers

    I get the Maps thing, but Apple is pretty much doing the same exact thing with Messages and its refusal to provide similar functionality on Android.

    I use paired original HomePods for AppleTV sound (we get everything via Apple TV, including terrestrial channels) and it is fantastic. I would upgrade to the second generation if they could be paired with HP minis for full surround sound. 
    Ditto, but I'd also want a "BassPod" subwoofer system to go along with it. The HPs did a good job with a lot of things, but simply can't compete w/o a subwoofer.

    I mean, Apple could sell a kit with a couple of HomePods, a couple of minis, and a BassPod for, what, $1999?

    Oh, what’s the view like way up there on the moral high ground?
    One could equally well ask how the view is from your mom's basement....

    But seriously. All you did was attempt to display your own superiority stance concerning his own stance. What was the point?

    I think the only thing being verified is that anyone who purchases Twitter Blue is a sucker...

  • Greg Joswiak confirms iPhone's future move to USB-C

    Ok I don't get this. People moaning and wailing about how horrible it is that Apple is being forced to switch to a USB C port, complaining "what happens when the USB C port is outdated?" and then saying "well we should just remove the port!" (picture a toddler stamping his feet and pouting) If you think the phone will be fine without a port, what difference does it make what port it has? And how in God's name can you be concerned that the EU has locked the iPhone to a port that will be outdated and then argue that it doesn't need aport at all?


    The two things aren't mutually exclusive. If it has a charging port it must be USB-C. If it doesn't the law doesn't apply.

    What this prevents is some new port, call it "Lightning-C", from being developed and used.
