Out data science team just ordered 5 of these. I'm so jealous, I hope they let me into their lab to take a look once they arrive.

This happens often on my 16" MBP. I don't have FCPX. I just figured it's a bug that they'll fix with a software/firmware update. Now it sounds like that may not be the case if older ones are still doing it? 

My brother in law had an issue with his 15" 2017 MacBook Pro where loud sounds, such as an explosion in a movie or the Sega game sound, would cause the speakers to either continuously pop or simply stop working altogether until the laptop was restarted.

In the end they replaced the speakers, which due to the piss poor design of the laptop meant replacing the entire keyboard and motherboard along with the speakers. That has fixed it, so hopefully it won't reoccur.

Fingers crossed that the issue reported here is just some software glitch.

I seriously don't know what's worse. Apple's continued decline in quality control (software & hardware) Soo many problems/bugs nowadays. Or the fact that the competition, STILL HAS NOT been able to make something better. LOSE LOSE as far as i'm concerened.

They’ve backed themselves into a corner with the annual release cycle.

Much better to simply release an OS when it is ready.

Can’t help but feel that the AirPod Pro is what the AirPod 2’s should have been, a significant improvement over the first generation.

There shouldn’t be an AirPod Pro and an AirPod 2, just AirPod.

So what would Series 4 battery life be if they implemented always-on display in a software update?

I have the same question.  If CPU/GPU are the same and the new model has to power double the storage, why can’t Series 4 have “Always On.”  Unless the battery tech has been radically improved in S5, I would imagine it’s possible.  

As far as I am aware, the screen is identical in the Series 4 vs Series 5. The difference is that the Series 5 has an added chip to make the magic happen.

The screen is completely different than the Series 4 screen. Did you not watch the Apple Keynote? There is nothing identical nor similar between the Series 4 screen and the Series 5 screen other than that they are both OLED.

Quote from The Verge, but other sources say the same: "The technology that makes that possible is a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO for short) display that Apple developed. The tech behind an LTPO version of an OLED screen is interesting — especially since it was first introduced in the Series 4"
