  • Study: iPhone 6 has highest failure rate among iPhones -- but Samsung's rate is higher

    Shhh. Don't tell my iPhone 6s Plus! It's 3 years old with 91% battery capacity remaining and no failures.

  • Long term review: Apple's AirPods are still the best wireless headphones around

    zroger73zroger73
    I love my AirPods! One of the best, if not THE best and most useable Apple (or any other brand) product ever. I love the way they sound. I love the way they look. I love the way they fit.

    I can NEVER go back to wired earphones again. When my AirPods die, I'll gladly pay full price for another set.

    Can I get a refund for the lessons I already purchased? ;)

  • AirPlay 2 might still be a possibility for Apple's AirPort Express in iOS 12

    zroger73zroger73
    Even though Apple no longer sells the AirPort Express, it may be in their best interest to add AirPlay 2 support to this "legacy" device to help keep people in the Apple ecosystem.

    I've been using an AirPort Express connected to an amplifier to power a pair of ceiling-mounted speakers on my patio for years and have been warming up to the advantages of AirPlay 2. Adding this functionality to the AirPort Express may prevent me and others from defecting the Apple brand.

    On the other hand, if I were to buy a non-Apple solution, Apple still gets a licensing fee from the other manufacturer for the use of AirPlay 2 technology so adding AirPlay 2 to existinging AirPort Express devices may not have any significant benefit at all.

    I wonder how many people actually use an AirPort Express as an audio target? I'm the only one in my family and circle of friends to have ever done this. Everyone else I know either does without or has a different solution for multi-room audio.

    Okay, so now I've talked myself out of any hope of the AE every supporting AP2. :)

  • Everything new in tvOS 12: Over 20 new features for Apple TV

    zroger73zroger73
    In addition to the orientation issue, I also find the remote difficult to hold onto (it slips out of my hand) and the glass surface can shatter if dropped onto a hard surface, such a ceramic tile floor. Its relatively small size and thinness encourages its disappearance into crevices.

    The Siri remote looks svelte, but it's a frustrating example of form over function. A third-party case made the Siri remote livable, though not preferable, for me. I bought my first of four Apple TV 4's two years ago and I still don't like the remotes.

    Meanwhile, my TiVo's "peanut" remote is ergonomic, functional, practical, and durable, though not the most attractive device to have sitting around.
