  • Apple could cancel MLS deal very early if it's not a hit

    Well duh.., why would the dump money into a failing endeavor. You really felt the need to report the obvious?
    These deals are usually iron clad.  I’ve never heard of a deal of this spurt having an escape clause one partner can fire up “any time it’s wants.” Being the first of its kind makes it news.

    duh
    Apple has multiple opt-out clauses in its deal with MLB for Friday Night Baseball.
    Please educate us about those multiple opt-out clauses with a link from a credible news source.

  • Wired CarPlay vs. wireless - the pros and cons

    Wireless all the way.

    Our 2020 Audi Q3 also has a wireless charging pad, so that's easily done if needed, but 90% of the time I just keep the phone in my pocket.

    If you set up multiple wireless profiles, it is a tiny hassle if it connects to "another" phone first, but this "Enabling Airplane Mode or disabling Bluetooth will not solve the issue, and your iPhone will still connect to the car." is wrong, at least for our car. Airplane mode all you need to do if you want to force connection to another phone. I'd barely consider it a con.

    I do not want sports on Apple TV+ and to be honest am tired of the ESPN tax on virtually every streaming service.

    Virtually every streaming service?

    What’s the ESPN tax on…

    Hulu
    Disney+
    Netflix
    HBO Max
    Discovery+

  • Apple TV+ needs more content and they will train directors to get it

    If I were making the content decisions at Apple TV, I'd probably feel the same way.

    But as a consumer of that content, I'd prefer Apple maintain the existing high standards. It would be wise to avoid the trap that NetFlix fell into: too much content, with no moderation, leading into a situation where the consumer has to wade through thousands of titles made on the cheap in Third World and Eastern European countries, 99% of them crap, to find something good to watch. Then gives up and switches to Apple TV.
    This is nothing but a public relations gimmick. I doubt that there will be any publicly noticeable difference for AppleTV+ programming.

  • Mobile carriers sell more iPhones than Apple retail stores

    Who does this surprise?

    There's 273 Apple stores in the US.

    There are 5,361 AT&T stores in the US.

    You can Google yourself for the rest of the mobile company store numbers if that's your thing.
