  • Touch ID MacBook, 'Series 4' Apple Watch with ceramic back, USB-C iPad Pro may be coming

    TouchID is most of what I use my 15” Touch Bar for. And I would buy a 13”+ MacBook (not Air and not Pro) with TouchID in moments. The small one is too small a screen tho I love it, and TouchID is great on a laptop if you haven’t had it.

  • 2019 iPhone sticking with Face ID, but Android moving to in-screen fingerprint sensors

    I greatly prefer TouchID for two reasons. I travel and take photos both of people in natural activity by turning on and using the camera feature without looking at it, or photos in museums where I am not supposed to. Plus I can at other times turn it on when I don’t need to see the screen. Looks like I will hold on to my iPhone 8plus for a long time. Bummer.

  • New HomePod, 'AirPods 2,' death of 3D Touch all expected in 2019

    I turned 3D Touch off. More annoying than useful. There are so many fans here I may try it again. But at this point I will not even blink if it’s gone.

  • Review: Nomad integrates a Tile Bluetooth tracker to their new Slim Wallet

    Interesting. I don’t buy leather products, so not in the cards for me however. And normally I don’t lose my wallet, thankfully.

    Apple's tiny AirPods are turning in mighty big numbers and the demand still exceeds supply. After using them for over a year I now know why.
    How do they fit in your ears? Do you miss not having a strap for if you wanted to take them out and just wear them around your neck. I do that with my JBL wireless all the time. I would really miss not having that.
    No device fits all ears, but they fit mine.  I had zero/zilch/no interest in them until I kept reading about folks with little interest buying and loving them.  Tried them in the store.  Bought them.  Don’t want to be without them.  I have not run with them in, but have run across a street with them without issue.  I don’t do sweaty workouts with them as I revere them, but less sweaty stuff and much more I do.  Hooked. Love them. Coolest new invention in a while. And it’s not just the buds, but the whole interaction with the charging case and the phone and the other Mac devices.  My girlfriend had no interest. Got her some. Hooked. Unique device that matches that old saying that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
