    Is anyone else having sound issues with BT (specifically with BT cans) under Ventura and iPadOS 16...?

    I posted this in Apple's forum and - so far - tumbleweed. I have two sets of BT cans: Sony WH-1000MX4 and Bose NC700. Now, I can't remember whether this began happening when I first installed Ventura/iPadOS 16, or whether it's been caused by a subsequent update (both devices are running the...

    Horrible bluetooth input lag 12.6

    So.. yeah. Basically the title. Ever since the 12.6 Monterey update, my magic keyboard and trackpad are laggy as hell. Except when I plug them in, then it's fine. So it has to be bluetooth right? My wired mouse is 100 percent solid. Anyone else with this issue? I'm on a 2020 iMac if that matters..

    Very low quality playback on macOS (good on iOS)

    Hello. I recently got a pair of Airpods Pro as a gift and while I use different and better sounding equipment when I'm listening to music, they're very convenient to be used in other instances. The Airpods Pro work perfectly on iOS, but unfortunately they sound horrible when used on macOS...

    Dead Apple A1016 Bluetooth Keyboard. Is there a way to revive it?
