They should've differentiated between iTunes and Apple Music. I still buy my music instead of renting it and I would've preferred to use iTunes. What I would rather see is an option to download FLAC so I can listen to lossless on any device. 

"AirPods are no longer cool, claim people who can't afford them"

This headline is pathetic. People don't like AirPods because they sound horrible. I have the Bose QC Earbuds and I've tried the Sony XM4s, both of which are better and more costly than the AirPods Pro. AirPods (Pro) are inferior compared to these headphones in every way except for integration with the Apple ecosystem. Even AppleInsider admits that the Bose QC Earbuds and Sony XM4s are superior:

This whole notion that people don't buy Apple products because they're poor needs to stop. It's an extremely base and fallacious argument it reflects poorly on people that try to make it. 

Having to carry a lightning cable in addition to my USB cable stinks. Lightning provides no benefit over USB-C at all. USB-C should have been adopted years ago, just like in Macs and iPads.  I think the only reason Apple still has lightning on iPhone is so that it can make money from accessory sales. 

The lawyers will charge that fee once. The changes will affect all small scale developers, not just current ones.

Plus how many of you are wandering around with a Mac filled with data that if accessed is worth a flip? Without physical access, its useless.

"Although they can't decrypt files protected by FileVault encryption, they can inject a keylogger and steal passwords since the T2 chip manages keyboard access."

You don't use your computer for online banking?

So once the bad people HAVE the device they can mess with it.   Yawn. 

"...it'll require a hardware component, such as a malicious and specially-crafted USB-C cable."

How do you know that you're not using an infected peripheral, like a used cable purchased on eBay or even a 3rd party cable on Amazon? 

You buy used USB cables on eBay? You deserve everything that comes with it. 

I don't but that doesn't mean people other do not and should not.  And who doesn't buy third party peripherals off Amazon? To make this problem sound like an edge case is extremely base. 

I just bought a 16" MBP with a 5600M for $4K. https://i.imgur.com/4a9Bw5M.png I still have 1 more week before the return period ends and I'm contemplating returning it. To have this kind of vulnerability on such an expensive piece of hardware is pathetic. I paid the Mac premium for a reason. Do you have any idea what kind of Ryzen machine running Mint I can have for that kind of money? https://i.imgur.com/5chHGR8.png

Sure you did, Mr. Two Posts.

Yes, I sure did: https://i.imgur.com/UxgDIHm.jpg

I'm a Macrumors regular and I only found out about this site because of all of the video reviews by Andrew on YouTube.
