Mystery wireless Apple device goes through FCC testing for a third time
My guess is that these are for installation in Apple Campus 2. RS-485 is used for lots of things, but building automation makes the most sense to me. They are going to need a very large number of badge readers in their new campus. It makes no sense for them to limit themselves to the standard controllers. Using devices with NFC would allow them to use iPhones, Apple Watches, as well as passive devices. The Bluetooth LE would be seen by the devices to know where they are in the building and other cool features. It would allow Apple to control the innovation platform for their building automation. They have enough facilities around the world to justify making their own.

First look: Apple's BeatsX earphones with integrated W1 chip
Picked up a black pair today. They sound really good. I wouldn't call them bass heavy. Listened some EDM and the bass is strong as it is supposed to be, but it is clear and not overwhelming the mix. The free three months of Apple Music translates into an Apple Music gift card value that goes into your account. So it looks like you can do the free 3 months if you have not and then use the gift card value after that. Not to sign up for Apple Music.
