I just hope they don't bring HDMI port back. It's damn ugly and ruins the esthetics of MacBooks. I can see how SDHX port can look good - easy to make it the sides "rounded" But a HDMI port is hideous. 

They could use mini-HDMI, here it is (middle) next to USB-C (top) and there's a micro-option:

Then everyone would complain they still need an adapter, so it doesn’t really solve their “problem”. 

Why would they need an adapter? They could just use a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable. No adapter needed.

It’s a typo, I’m sure, but on the linked Apple support page, under “How to listen to lossless on your Apple TV 4K,” it says you should first “update your Apple TV 4K to tvOS 11.4.”

We’ve had lossless for years and didn’t even know it!

This has just been a spectacular own-goal from Apple from the jump. The Bluetooth lack of support for Apple Music Lossless wasn't a giant surprise, but the messaging surrounding it all has been replete with holes, wrong information, and modifications for the last five days.

An “own-goal” is a great way to put it. Some of Apple’s moves the last few months have defied logic. I mean, why even announce lossless until it was supported by the audio lineup? I don’t own a HomePod, but if I did I would be pretty pissed off right now. I’m really hoping WWDC will bring some unexpected new hardware announcements that will make sense of these seemingly erratic decisions. 

Because there's a lot of non-Apple audio gear that does support lossless and hi-res lossless.  For the audiophile that is into this type of gear, why keep them waiting from enjoying this new Apple Music feature?

To avoid alienating the customers who spent $300 - $550 on first party gear? Isn’t that obvious? Those are the people Apple should be courting first, not the non-Apple audiophile.

There goes “greedy Apple” again, handing out bonuses to their slaves.

/s

Apple is DOOOOOOOMED but srsly this is a $180-$200 stock... how many expectation-smashing quarters does Wall Street want for it to value AAPL anywhere close to the valuation given to TSLA, AMZN, GOOG?

Huh?

Apple hasn't been perfect since Tim took the helm but I would agree with the article; overall they are doing well.

Oh, and they were perfect under Jobs? Deal with your Cook hatred.

Did he say he hated Cook? Was Jobs’ name even mentioned?  I must have missed that.
