That low-cost Watch sounds interesting. Presumably, it will be an offshoot of the 4 or 5?
 
How far do people take their remotes away from the tv? Ours is either in the remote basket on the end table or lost somewhere in the sofa cushions and takes only about a minute to find.
Sometimes people it back on top of the TV which sometimes falls behind it. Some people put it on the side of the Playstation where the controllers are. Some people put it on the sofa arm rest which falls and goes under the couch. Sometimes it goes in between cushions. Sometimes I take it to my room to charge since I don’t have a usb charger in the living room

I just wish they didn’t get rid of 3D Touch.
Haptic Touch isn’t the same!
I upgraded to the 11 and then downgraded to the XS Max because last year. I’ll be keeping this phone until it breaks. 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Who cares? Phones will be MONTHS late this year, not "a few weeks" as Apple claimed. Every other manufacturer is getting their phones out on time. Pro models won't be out until Dec, most will have bought something else by then. Im getting a Note 20 Ultra this week. Apple really screwed this one up.

You don't have to validate your buying decision by wildly exaggerating the state of things. The Note 20 is a great device on its own merits, good for you. The new iPhones will be great too.
As for the iPhones I think the stellar sales already this year speak for themselves and most people waiting for a flagship can wait an extra month or two, in a time where most people usually upgrade every ~3 years. Apart from the few guys out there who are running on a nearly dead battery and have to buy today I think we'll be ok.

AirPods is a bad name for over-the-ear (or on-the-ear) headphones. AirPods sounds like "ear pods", intentionally I assume, as they are, in fact, ear pods.

This sort of branding reminds me of Microsoft, which has taken the Surface name (originally describing a large, table like touch computer, then tablets) and stuck it to most of their non-Xbox hardware products.
 
If they continue to water drown the „pro“-name by forcing happy NON-max-buyer to get the max for the „pro“-features, I would be sad and frustrated.
Yea will be annoyed because the 11PM is already getting too big. Haven't pulled this garbage since the 8 vs 8+

You can use you’re passcode, nobody is asking you to take off the mask you are wearing.
Issue is apps with FaceID authentication don't always prompt for Passcode on failures. It just shows Cancel after try 2
 
Really? I have two Sonos (One gen1 and Beam) and they work fine. Mine don't seem like they update very often, and when they do it's automatic. I do hear you on the Alexa thing, though.
Yeah, I have two Sonos speakers myself (both One gen2) and both have worked great so far. Updates have been relatively infrequent and no inconvenience to me.
 
Nothing new in here depending on how closely one has been following leaks and rumours. But nice to see some corroboration

Ah, I see other people’s remotes lead a more adventurous life than mine!

Yeah, I’ve had nothing but problems. Though it’s been a little less cumbersome since they adopted airplay 2 and i could stop using the Sonos app.

We don’t actually know what the name will be, i imagine. Though it could really be airpods studio, given that “AirPods” has a lot of brand recognition at this point. Guess we’ll see.
 
I'm intrigued by the circumaural headphones. Unique seems to be the changeable cups - so you can have one that breaths and one that's better for isolation.

I really like my XM3's and Bose 700s but the one thing they have in common is no air flow. The traditional design principle behind that was that for maximum noise isolation you should stop any air passing also. With the Air Pods Pro Apple did away with traditional design philosophy's of IEM's, where there was no sufficient venting or deep insert for maximum isolation. Going to be interesting what impact it'll have on ANC.

I'd love to transfer from a semi open design, like the Astro gaming headphones for when I'm at home - still with some ANC and non breathable ones for when I'm in public.
 
What’s wrong with the current low end model? Pretty snappy for kids and family.

Maybe next year, but I can’t see them bumping it up to an A12 chip just yet.

It's just kind of expensive for what it is. It is the same price now that it was when released, 2.5 years ago. Yeah, the ram and screen size were improved some last year. But - old tech. I mean, you wouldn't buy an iPhone 7 new, right now, would you?
 
I hate My sonos’. Constantly needing to update and having their configurations scrambled. And I have to keep Alexa turned off for privacy reasons. Looking forward to replacing them with future homepods.
Lol.

How many people have been killed by Alexa? Or better yet how many people have had their lives affected in anyway whatsoever by using Alexa? I’ll wait for all the sources and material you provide.

Also, do you know how absurdly arrogant and insane it is to suggest, as someone sitting home reading technology articles and buying technology products, that you, personally, have any idea whatsoever how “secure“ it is to use Alexa vs. Siri? Any perspective you have on it at all is based on PR comments by trillion dollar companies Amazon and Apple, and tech blog journalism. I propose, you have no idea, and let’s leave it at that.

No, it‘s based on me using a wire shark and reverse engineering how the “Alexa” catchphrase is detected, and what packets of data are sent to servers even when i have no intention of invoking Alexa.

And quit it with the name calling.
 
Just a suggestion and wishful thinking I doubt any of the developers will ever see. I sure hope the iPhone 12 has at least three to four times the resolution as the iPhone 10 with frame rate increase too in order to catch moving objects, doubling up as a dash-cam for all those who want a cheap solution in capturing vehicular terrorist in their time of vile acts of defiance.
