I’d like to see AppleInsider analyze the benefits of using an Apple Credit Card to purchase new Apple equipment. I usually make those purchases using my Amex card which effectively doubles the length of the AppleCare warranty. I then pay off the balance soon after. Unless I’m missing something that alone surpasses the 3% “cash back.”

This review skips over the most crucial piece of information -- how long it takes to perform a single scan of an 8.5 x 11 page. Your hypothetical example of taking the Doxie Go SE to a friend or relative's house is a total fantasy. A single box of files would take many hours of nonstop scanning. I still occasionally use a small;l portable USB scanner with a similar footprint and it works just fine --- except that it's so gigantically time-consuming.

Sorry to say that this article is a mashup of speculation and baseless rumor written by someone who displays little understanding of the traditional TV business and the emerging streaming alternatives. For starters, to borrow William Goldman's famous axom for the movie business, "nobody knows anything" about which business models will survive and thrive. Netflix and Amazon can boast about data but they have yet to prove that their algorithms are any more reliable than traditional audience research. So far, "cord cutting" only saves consumers money if they're willing to sacrifice the choice and convenience offered by most cable systems. Does Apple+ see itself as a full-service content business? If so it will be paying pretty much the same rates for popular network content as their many streaming competitors. Or is Apple+ original content just a loss leader to attract subscribers. 

Could you guys please do a story that explains what happens after these devices are stolen? Because each Apple device has a unique serial and IMEI number, doesn’t both Apple and the carrier know immediately when a stolen unit is trying to connect to their servers? The end user of a hot iPad or iPhone might have the skills to limit online visibility, but would‘t that make the stolen device a constant nuisance to use?

I hope you guiys will post a follow-up article focusing on HomePod integration into these new TV configurations. We currently have a pair of HomePods on either side of a large screen Samsung — but we’re only able to use them when playing back directly from the AppleTV.  At present there is no way to play audio from our primary TV provider —- AT&T U-Verse —- over the HomePods. It would be extremely frustrating if that limitation persists once AirPlay 2 is integrated into the TV;.
