Congrats Apple. Those who watched CODA say worth watching movie and after Warner Bros(7), Disney(6), Apple(3) is 3rd most award winner at Oscar. But all these great things over shadowed by on stage slap by Will Smith who made public humiliation of prestigious Oscar event.

Respectfully, I disagree. The whole Will Smith fiasco was the only real, true, and honest thing that happened all night. The rest of the event was cringy, uncomfortable, forced, fake, and awkward. Just so completely contrived that I was embarrassed for Hollywood. Will Smith saved that show, he only embarrassed himself.

Apple's recent emphasis on MAC line with performance and larger screen; these Macbook Air with 13.6" screen and 15.2" will be very welcome news by consumers. Side note except lower price, iPhone SE3 needed real change(edge-to-edge screen, dual camera,etc) which didn't happen.

Quit bitching that the SE doesn’t have all the features that are available in the higher tier models. It’s like saying that the base level iPad should have everything in the Air or the Pro, but for the base level price. Everybody else understands that in order to achieve an attractive entry-level price Apple needs to use older components in much of it. Why don’t you?

I wish my iPad Air had 4 speakers, FaceID, 120 Hz ProMotion, and a Mini-LED screen. Boo fucking hoo.  Buy a renewed iPhone 11 if that’s all you want and all you can afford.

Forgive my ignorance, but can’t subscribers pay via the Spotify web site and in doing so avoid that “just unfair” fee?

I’ve been a Spotify user since 2012, and that’s how I’ve always paid. Same with Netflix, Prime, and any other service I subscribed to back when I actually had sympathy for any of them. Back before they all became whiny hypocrites. Bottom line, if a company or dev can’t attract new users on their own, and they have to rely on the App Store or Play to do it for them, then the fee they have to pay for that privilege is both logical and fair. 

This just in…the Mini after that one will have an M3 chip. You heard it here first.

I have an iPad Air 4 and see no reason to upgrade. The only big deal is that colours are nicer. My iPad is WiFi only, the front camera is hardly used and I don't experience any real world issues with the A14 Bionic. 

If I needed a new iPad, this one in blue would be the one to get, but for me, upgrading from an iPad Air 4 to 5 makes no sense.

I agree. I was definitely planning on upgrading until I saw the announcement yesterday. There is really nothing compelling here that I’m currently missing out on with my Air 4. If it was updated with FaceID, however, I would a trading up without question. Oh well, maybe the 6.
