    I don't understand why Apple created these when they have the Air Pods? Also how are these new PowerBeats Pro charged up?

    Umm, different consumer use cases. As stated in the first sentence, "in a design that is more useful for listening while working out or playing sports."
    The Air Pods are used often under those circumstances. I see people at the gym daily and running outside with the Air Pods. True they have a higher chance of falling out but it just seems as though Apple is creating redundancy with these PowerBeats Pro earbuds and they will compete against each other. Both are Apple's products.

    Wow. What a surprise... NOT! TV shows and movies are probably on the next list of removing. To be honest, I'm NOT even a big fan of Apple's iBook. Some updates they messed up my collections and especially PDFs just disappeared; plus iBook Store's book collections are not that great. Kindle is my go-to eBook and Acrobat app is where PDFs belong. Sorry, Apple, and so so very sorry, Microsoft, for the bad news.
    Gotta love how an article about Microsoft ends in a trash post towards Apple when Apple has nothing to do with this article. SMH.

  • Apple narrowly eclipses Microsoft to regain status as most valuable company in US

    Hate the way that market cap is determined. All on conjecture and futures. The idea that MS is more valuable than Apple is preposterous. Apple earns more in a quarter than Microsoft does in a year. 
    And the majority of Apple’s revenue/profit comes from iPhone. Once sales on that start to slow down, Apple will be “less valuable” than Microsoft again, while Microsoft keeps on staying diverse with its products.
    Diverse? What planet are you on? Microsoft has 3 products that they offer to the public that they've been leaning on for years. Office, Xbox and Windows. The Xbox isn't even profitable since they sell it below what it costs for the to make it, according to Microsoft's public statement. The Surface line is still new and there way too many Windows laptops for much cheaper so the Surface line won't be profitable for them. Microsoft's business services are not counted. The market can't affect them since they don't necessarily serve the consumer. There have been no innovative things coming from Microsoft. Heck, VR stuff is still not penetrating the market. 
    Meanwhile, Apple has been turning out a laundry list of new products that have been successful, along with their Apple Music streaming services. Don't kid yourself that the iPhone is what keeps them afloat. Nice try.

  • Apple's services event receives rocky reception from industry and critics

    HenryDJPHenryDJP
    Apple does not trust its own customers to make decisions for themselves. That is why you can't side load apps on iOS. It is why apps can't do things in the background or with the screen off. It is why you can't put custom faces on an Apple Watch. It is why you cannot scan WiFi for nearby routers. It is why there is absolutely no adult content on any of Apple's services. Apple won't even add an option users can turn on to remove these restrictions. You are just not allowed to do it because Apple said so.

    Now Apple is starting a TV network with carefully curated content. No controversial subjects will be allowed. Nothing that will really challenge our deeply held beliefs. Nothing that anyone anywhere will consider offensive. No real risk taking. We can expect some shows to pass Apple's muster at first but later be pulled when they accidentally trip over a subject that is suddenly controversial or Apple takes a dislike to. That is what Apple does on its App Store. God help the producers if any of their talent do anything to upset Apple's sensibilities at any point in the future.

    Plain vanilla, white washed good time rock and roll BS. Speaking of BS, do you think that show would appear on Apple's TV+? I think not.
    "No controversial subjects will be allowed. Nothing that will really challenge our deeply held beliefs."

    This might be a surprise to you but not everyone wants or needs content that's filled with sexual content, porn, killing, fighting, political, offensiveness and corrupt nonsense. 

    " God help the producers if any of their talent do anything to upset Apple's sensibilities at any point in the future."

    God help you.

  • Apple cancels AirPower wireless charging mat, citing quality issues

    Tim Cook REALLY needs to go.  If you can’t deliver, don’t suggest that you can.
    Apple is beginning to be known for all the wrong things now.  No vision, ok but not innovative products, over-promising and under-delivering, and nothing to suggest that this is likely to change.  But more importantly, the company has simply lost operational excellence.  That was its DNA. This is a management problem because I doubt that all the smart and creative people have left the building.
    And while you're trashing Tim Cook name one company that has it all together with zero blunders?
