it did look impressive. Sports: Formula 1, maybe?

I have the model pictured and love it.

Not to sound cynical or unappreciative of Apples efforts, but I would love to be able to delete photos or create albums from ATV.

Great review, Max. Very professional. As usual.

Beats look a little old school with all the dangly wires. I have the airpods and use for trail running. Never have had one even come close to falling out.

I heard a term used by a reviewer at MacWorld that describes how the AirPods fit. "They seem to 'perch' in the ear. They are so light."

Also, many reviews I've read neglect the fact that having the AppleWatch increases the controls. Play, pause, skip ahead, next tract, last track etc. 

So you need the iPhone, AppleWatch and the AirPods and you are golden! What I really like is I can go for a run with just the AppleWatch (running app) with music/podcasts and the AirPods and leave my iPhone in the car. Love it.

I thought Apple would go with two iPad lines. Two "regular" iPads, Air and Mini and two iPad Pro's.

But, perhaps Apple see's no real competition in the tablet category and are going w/ with the regular size Air (eliminating the Mini) and have the 2 Pro designs with value added, keyboards and pens. This way they can keep the entry price north of $500. (They can trim bezels add features to their heart's content.)

Some product symmetry there; one MacBook (eventually eliminating the MacBook Air), two MacBook Pro's 13" and 15" (eventually eliminating the MBP "esc"). And again, keeping the price of admission north of $1,000.


P.S. Perhaps Apple is looking at the sales of the iPhone Plus. I.e, people are going w/ Plus size iPhones and forgoing iPad Mini's and Air's. I know my daughter said she's going all in w/ the iPhone 7 Plus and maxing out on the memory/storage size. I have a Mini and I'm seriously thinking of doing the same thing. iPhone Plus, no iPad's, MacBook, ATV, AppleWatch, AirPods.
