    Are people in here really that clueless? Yes you may get faster speeds in your area with whatever phone you have. This is a comparison of the old phone and the new phones in the same location. Posting all your speed tests are meaningless until you post the same speed test with the new phones.
    I think their point (at least as I take it) is that current LTE speeds are already quiet good (as fast or faster than the “233% faster” Xs speeds the article was quoting. This would seem to indicate that tower congestion and signal quality is going to play a much bigger roll than the phone. The other question it raises is whether there was an issue with the iPhone X they used for the test. If an iPhone X is capable of downloading at over 100 Mbps,and the iPhone Xs they used could get 73 Mbps speeds, why couldn’t their iPhone X? It may be more of an issue with the antenna and or signal amplifier than the intrinsic modem speed.
    4x4 MIMO, which the new phones have, is going to greatly improve speeds in areas where your signal is weak and hold on to that signal for longer.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how one can interconnect Airplay 2 with an existing stereo using line level inputs? Don't want to buy a Airplay 2 "speaker as I have really great stereo with planers. Thanks
    We will no doubt see these types of things hit the market soon enough that support AirPlay 2. There are a bunch of little adapters like these on the market now that support AirPlay 1. They just connect to your home WiFi network and then use an audio out interface to connect to whatever you want to play back on.

    You could also use an Apple TV with an HDMI splitter cable that’ll split off the audio from the HDMI signal but that’s going to be more expensive.
