  • Apple will launch HomePod with 7-inch screen in 2024, says Kuo

    uraharaurahara
    7 inch screen might be too big for the current HomePod. 
    It would make more sense if the speaker would be bigger, similar to BOWERS AND WILKINS ZEPPELIN or NAIM AUDIO MU-SO. 
    Could it be that Apple will come up with a new form factor for HomePod?

  • HomePod 2 review: A great smart speaker that struggles to stand out

    Had the original 1st gen sounded great however the walled garden/prison ecosystem Apple creates makes this a horrible product. Always felt like its glitchy/stutters/doesn't connect/optimized for Apple Music only. No aux out which would be useful for musicians who want to plug in electric instruments and use as amplifier. No battery so can't take this on the go. Siri is terrible. The only upside to this thing is the sound quality. For everything else it's a nightmare. I will never buy a closed ecosystem apple speaker again.
    It’s definitely a nightmare that it doesn’t have a battery. I mean, I can’t park my Tesla on the parking space for bicycles - that’s why I am not going to buy Tesla again, because it’s a nightmare to not being able to park where it shouldn’t be parked.… /s (for clarity)

  • Spotify rant demands decisive action against Apple

    uraharaurahara
    2 months ago I just decided to try Apple Music again. I actually like Spotify functionality (e.g. grossfading between songs), UI an other user’s playlists better. 
    But I might just stay with Apple Music, because of the business practices Spotify uses (like trying to blame Apple). 

    By the way, Apple Pay’s almost 3 times the amount Spotify pays to artist for streaming.

  • iPhone 15 Pro rumored to get Thunderbolt connectivity

    uraharaurahara
    Apple did crappy job implementing TB connections so far.

    The speed between iPad Pro M1 and MBP with TB is only 130 MB/s.
    Physical SSD limitation on iPad Pro is about 500 MB/s (which can be reach with external SSD drive, but not with a direct connection to MBP. Physical limitation of MBP is around 2300 MB/s, which also can be reached with external SSD).

    So even if the iPad Pro has a TB connection the speed it provides is max 500 MB/s. And in a usual use case for me - only 130 MB/s.

    Not excited about TB on iPhone Pro….
