  • X gets big exception from Apple with one-letter App Store listing

    Countdown: 85 days (under three months)

    Counting down the days until the X brand and logotype are shelved, and the Twitter brand, logotype and symbol are restored.

  • Apple announces new Music, Podcasts, and Maps features coming in the fall

    Forget about using Google maps in Bombay, it’ll always send you the long way around. Apple maps consistently shows routes 1 hour shorter if you’re driving across the city. I simply assumed that Google data would be better because of its overwhelming number of users here, I was wrong.

    I have to laugh at the references to the Mac Studio as a "stopgap product." The R&D for an all-new product like the Mac Studio likely started at least a few and more likely several years before it hit the market. 

    It is a stopgap product in the sense that Apple realized a Mac Pro couldn't be shipped within the transition period. [snip]
    Dude, you don’t know that.

  • 2023 HomePod review roundup: similar sound, same price

    Alex_VAlex_V
    Anyone who thinks that smart speakers are ‘hi-fi’ is deluding themselves. Neither the audio bandwidth coming through the internet is insufficient, (nor through Bluetooth for that matter) nor is the speaker itself capable of reproducing the full range of hi-fi sound. Hi-fi is for the audiophiles. They pay fortunes for top quality equipment and listen to vinyl records, for example. Three-hundred dollar speakers don’t qualify. The sound that comes out of Apple HomePod is ‘good enough’ for the rest of us. That’s who it’s for. 

    I have a pair on my desk. I like the 360 degree sound. The smaller HomePod mini can’t compete in sound.

  • 2022 iPad review: Decent upgrade, bad lineup position

    Kill this iPad, bring back last year's iPad Air, rename it "iPad" and lower the price. Keep home button iPad around as education bulk buy.

    iPad mini, iPad and iPad Pro. Give iPad Pro additional ports (three in total): SD Card, USB-4 and MagSafe 3.

    Done.
    Yes, done!

    What you suggested is essentially what Apple did.
