    So, some guy gets his few minutes of fame and brief access to a bully pulpit to thank his supporters and possibly call the world to action for a noble cause, and he uses this opportunity to whine about his personality issues with a keyboard. 

    Wow.

    I do hope this $5,999 machine includes that 5GB iCloud thingy

    that thingy is a scam - they claim it comes with devices but in truth it comes with your apple id.. so you only get it once, even if you buy 5 devices.

    subscription, or recurring income models are now considered mandatory by venture capitalists and it shows.

    it is getting difficult to find even the most basic apps without a subscription paywall. for example, taking a photo and straightening it as a page scanner (in iOS for free).

    prices are outrageous and it is generally unclear what you get. subscriptions are the new scam. even more so because of how obscure and layered Apple makes it to manage your subscriptions. It is a little easier in iOS13, but still out of the way for the average bear.

  • Tim Cook sees AirPods Pro as a complement to AirPods, not a replacement

    Way overpriced considering they only last about 2 years or so before the batteries fail to recharge and become disposable trash....and the mediocre sound quality does not justify the price.  But they are really working that 'Pro' word into their advertising...diminishing it with every new product release.
    Apple won’t replace the batteries? I never thought about that with my Beats X... have i really purchased land fill?

    edit: below info

    sounded like fud and it is fud

    Fact: These pockets belong to ‘wealthier’ people with higher educations that are willing to spend more money than Android users.
    fact: more television is watched by people with lower educations and less money.

    sounds like both google and samsung are missing a huge opportunity
