  • Old iPads are a staple in US homes, long after they've gone obsolete

    jace88jace88
    I've only sold/traded in a couple of iPads over the years because for the most part, even when I upgrade, the old one is still genuinely useful. It's only once they no longer get software updates and can't get the latest updates to apps that they become a bit of a paperweight but by then, they truly aren't worth anything more than a couple of bucks.

    With two young kids (<6) now, there's no way I'm letting either of them play with my 12.9" iPad Pro... and with the massive market of kid-friendly "protective" iPad cases, the old ones make a great entertainment/learning device for them with Reading Eggs and Netflix/Youtube.

  • Apple has a solution to ghost touch issue on Apple Watch models

    Glad to hear it's not just me going crazy. I thought it was either me using it wrong, or my tempered glass protector on my Ultra 2 causing issues.

    This is hilarious. I harken back a number of years ago to some poor bastard who lost his job over in Europe because he used a word in a speech that means “ungenerous and stingy”. Look it up in a thesaurus. He was vilified and canceled. Then the backlash ensued about how the word was a common one and had nothing to do with a racial slur and that ignorant, uneducated race baiters had reacted too quickly. But the poor guy still was pilloried, gutted, and his head placed on a pike in the town square.

    If I typed the word here AppleInsider would likely ban me for life, right?
    For the life of me I can't figure out what this word is even after Googling it.

  • Apple Music's Spatial Audio spreads to Mercedes-Benz vehicles

    How frustrating... bought a MY20 GLE with MBUX and despite the promise of software updates/new features being added over time... there aren't any. That being said mine only came with the regular Burmester surround sound system upgrade (and not the 3D/4D models of the flagship lines).

  • Vintage iPod Shuffle as hair clip video goes viral, makes us all feel old

    "I loved hearing all the throwbacks," she said, "but was also shocked at a few songs with some adult lyrics that I didn't expect myself to be listening to at nine years old."

    I feel this way every time I listen to any of my iTunes playlists from back when I was in high school (I'm not in early 30's) and am shocked too.... and sometimes it's really subtle/catchy in the lyrics but gosh, I can't believe I would sing some of that stuff out loud      :|
