Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 vs AirPods Pro 2 compared: A personal audio upgrade
goog said:
Amazing that Apple put the hearing-aid capabilities in the AirPod Pro 2 but not the Powerbeats Pro 2 which is better suited for this (thanks to the ear hook). Shame on Apple for leaving it out of the Powerbeats Pro 2It requires FDA review / approval. Its absence today doesn't mean it won't be there tomorrow. That said, AirPods which are smaller, commonplace, and less conspicuous, thus well-suited to being always-in and serving as hearing aids. Not so sure that PBs are a good choice for that, although you may want the feature if you're using them instead of your AirPods at the gym (not that I want to hear what anyone has to say in that context). -
Ultimate showdown: New Apple Pencil USB-C vs old Apple Pencils
charlesn said:Maybe I misunderstand the market for Apple Pencil, but this has always seemed like a fairly specialized accessory for a certain segment of iPad users, but not something that the mass market wants or needs... which makes it bewildering that we now have THREE Pencil models in the lineup. Was there really a target group of potential buyers holding out for a stripped down model at the $79 price point that loses a couple of the Pencil's most desirable features?! And $79 still ain't cheap for an accessory! SMH. -
After 11 years of work, people actually like Apple Maps

The map zooms in and it looks so mind-blowingly amazing I find it hard to keep my eyes on the real road. The renderings, down to the complex markings at some intersections, are just so nice. -
