  • Apple shipping delays higher under Tim Cook than Steve Jobs, data finds

    aegeanaegean
    Alternatively, they can announce things when its absolutely ready in every aspect for tomorrow's dispatch. A week or two delay in announcement is not going to hurt anyone. So basically its just shifting of timeframe. But delay is good if product is not ready yet for example HomePod and my expectation from HomePod is to give me the best possible music listening experience. The rest is totally secondary and less important.

  • Gmail updated to take advantage of iPhone X display, add non-Google email accounts

    aegeanaegean
    Not sure why one would use Gmail on an iPhone or even on any of Apple device when we have iCloud services which are far more robust and integrated with iOS and macOS. I never had any issues with the search or even any other issues with Mail. Yes it definitely needs an update but it still works flawlessly for me. The only thing I don't like about Mail is the message headers are like Gmail when replying to any email. Apple should come up with its own style of email headers. I prefer Microsoft Outlook style email headers though.

  • Apple's AirPods a smash hit, shipments could reach 28M in 2018

    aegeanaegean
    I just bought AirPods about a week ago. Knowing another model is coming out in 2018, maybe just a case for wireless charger, maybe an upgrade, only Apple knows, but I like the sound so much, I am willing to buy another one if comes out next year. Even though they don't stick in my ears but just sound quality alone worth to keep them even using occasionally, wirelessly indoors with Apple TV or iPhone, etc... I am an audiophile, and own tons of headphones from $100 to audiophile Sennheiser IE 800, HD 800 and soon to own HE1 once my car is sold, and various other brands, and I know AirPods sounds reasonably good for that price. Lucky are those ears that can hold and keep these pods while running, dancing, etc...

    I'm approaching middle age and the need for a "get off my lawn" sign, but I'm an entrenched Apple ecosystem user because things just work.  I don't have to worry about standing on one leg and holding my tongue just right and hope that whatever awesome tech junk I bought will work that day.  Apple makes things simple and makes their stuff work well together.  That said, I have yet to purchase Air Pods.  I have had them in my cart many times ready to pull the trigger but then I pause because these were released in 2016.  We are coming up on 2018, so shouldn't there be some sort of refresh coming out?  Not sure what that is aside from a different case (separate purchase anyhow, I know) but I'm nervous about spending the 2018 price on 2016 tech and then right after they come out with something that has a slight change...but in Apple I trust to change when needed and not "because".  

    So here I sit, waiting still.  I'm sure someone reading this knows there is no refresh or upgrade coming and if that's the case I'd be happy to know.  :)

    I would leave it unchanged as I prefer Apple's new approach.
