  • Rolling Square AirCard & AirCard E with Find My -- Hands on

    I must be missing something with find my. Earlier this evening I spent 10 minutes walking round the house with my iPhone 14 Pro trying to find my AirPods Pro’s. Find my said they were last seen in my house two days ago. It suggested I keep moving around. Play sound, or find nearby didn’t show up anything. 

    eventually I realised I had the AirPods with me the whole time in another pocket. Doh! I opened the case and got a whole load of notifications and beeps. Too late! 

    This echoes my previous experience, find my just doesn’t seem to help find stuff, apart from things like iPads, MacBooks, powered on iMac’s, it just shows where stuff was last seen. What am I missing?
    I think some AirPods are defective.  I had a similar experience - lost my AirPods at a hotel, did the "Find My" and it said last known location was at hotel.  Searched my room, the conference room I was in, and the restaurant and nothing.  The pairing on them didn't always work flawlessly.  Got home and bought new set at Costco.  The new set pairing worked 100% and the Find My functionality also worked.  After about a week I discovered my old pair at the bottom of my backpack and they were still fully charged.  I think the pairing problems and the Find My failure are related.  I returned the new pair but won't be that upset when the old ones finally kick the bucket.

  • New 15.5-inch MacBook Air rumored to arrive in early 2023

    I have been waiting for this.  I don't need the processing power or the weight of the Pro, but do need a larger screen.

  • Apple cancels 'Shantaram' after a single season

    I enjoyed it - and after the final scene when it said "To Be Continued" I thought it had been renewed.  I'll have to continue myself by reading the books

  • iPhone 12 and up might get satellite communication in 2023

    In iMessage, if they are using apple the messages are blue, if they are using peasant phone they are green.  If they go through satellite maybe purple?
