@GeorgeBMac SHV Mall?

I had a similar experience with my AirPods.

A 1 week out appointment. Got there and repeated everything we did on the phone with support. Then was told they don't have them in stock and I have to call support to order replacements. Got home, called, they said I would be receiving an email with a link to enter my credit card number as a hold until I sent mine back.

Never received the email. Called a few days later, just before the Thanksgiving break, explained what happened. Entered my card only to be told I couldn't have the replacement AirPods shipped to where I was going to be. They could only be shipped to my house. I hated the whole process.

I am getting the feeling that Apple just pulled a few years ahead of the competition. These Macs are beasts and they will only get better. 2021 should be an interesting year.

Yep, I think they nailed it for their consumer base. Need to work on some things for the professional users, interested in what 2021 has to offer.

Common sense says winner, however with us already having incredibly high school taxes and schools still ask us to supply pencils, crayons, glue sticks, etc., I don't see this moving many of these over the horrible Chromebook's my kids now have.

I would love this rumor to be true. I have been looking for a more privacy-focussed alternative to Google Search, but the quality of search results on DuckDuckGo doesn’t quite cut it for me.
However, developing a search engine seems like a gigantic project - I agree that there would likely be more indications if Apple had indeed invested serious resources in that field.
I’m cautiously optimistic.

I’m a big Duck Duck Go proponent. I use to have to fall back to Google for technical/troubleshooting searches but I find myself having to do that less and less. I don’t trust Google at all when it comes to political/current event searches.

While I’ll give Apple a chance if these rumors are true, I can’t imagine them being any different from Google considering the “programming”/censorship in the News app now.

Thanks Bruce. I have a song for you; https://music.apple.com/us/album/return-to-sender/217633715?i=217635783.
