They're obviously targeting the high-end video production market. Is the market that big and are they this insensitive to price? 6/5/2019 11:29:03 AM

and do they have to move them frequently where a magnet mount is preferred over standard VESA? 6/5/2019 12:16:06 PM

Just picked up an iPad Pro 11" with the Apple keyboard. I really like it. Once you get the keyboard shortcuts down it's a great laptop substitute for a lot of what I do (Email, Slack, reviewing docs). Also a great Reddit device. 12/11/2019 11:48:33 AM

The Pro is no different with Surface imo. But Ipad Air and Ipad mini are really specially. I'll just start with the basic one first. 12/11/2019 12:52:13 PM

^^You don't have to go with android for wearables. Garmin makes great watches that do most of that these smartwatches do, that integrate well with android.
And AirPods have been outclassed by cheaper, better alternatives. 12/19/2019 9:22:12 AM

I heard Apple watch 5 was far more advanced than any other smartwatches. 12/19/2019 9:29:12 AM

neodata686 All American 11572 Posts user info edit post |
For some features. The Apple Watch is a Smart watch first and an activity tracker second.
Garmin watches are activity trackers first and smart watches second.
Garmins are significantly more advanced in:
1. Battery life 2. GPS technology 3. Durability 4. Outdoor activity tracking
You have to clarify what "advanced" means. The higher end Garmin watches also cost a whole heck of a lot more than Apple watches as well.

Of course. Garmin watch is more like Fitbit. It's a wearable device for workout. Apple watch is also good at health tracking stuff, even iphone can do that. It can even track woman's period cycle. 12/19/2019 4:03:11 PM

But perhaps if i can find a suitable replacement, I will look into Garmin and then I can go back to android 12/20/2019 6:28:25 AM

I would love to have a Garmin Fenix watch, but I simply can't afford one. I have a 735xt and love it. It's definitely a running watch first, and if you're looking to make calls and listen to music from a....watch, then that isn't the type of device for you. But you still get notifications, you get GPS, incomming calls, waterproofing (it's made to swim with) but what sold me was a 7 day battery life when not using GPS, and when going for runs using GPS, you still get several days. 12/20/2019 8:23:13 AM

Are they still gonna expand to RTP in the future like Microsoft? The governor says there's still a chance. Garmin has a site here. The finger recognition technique was bought from the founder of K4connect here.

So it looks like Apple is planning on ditching wired charging altogether.
I don't see how this is going to go over well with many folks, specifically because of the ability to charge in the car. Does Apple expect people to buy wireless chargers that plug into cig lighter holes? I just don't see how that would work too well. Not everybody has built-in wireless charging in their cars. 12/24/2019 9:36:25 AM

i mean they don't give a fuck that you can't charge and listen to headphones at the same time and don't even sell a 1st party dongle to do it, so i don't think they care at all about what kind of chargers you'll need to buy 12/24/2019 3:04:15 PM

Wife surprised me with the new AirPod Pros... won't get here until Jan 13.
While I'm thankful for such a great gift; I'm contemplating canceling. I don't run anymore and rarely travel, so I don't really need them. Especially since I have regular AirPods as well as a pair of noise canceling Bose headphones.
Any reason why I should keep them? 12/26/2019 2:09:35 PM

I’d say keep them. “Hey siri” functionality and newer battery. If you had gen 2 I’d recommend the opposite. 12/30/2019 5:15:39 PM

I wear my Bose over my AirPods in an airplane. You get the Bose noise cancelling with the AirPod ease of pairing with the iPhone.
I’d say keep the pros because they’re a lil smaller and give your regular AirPods to a poor person or something. 12/30/2019 10:08:30 PM
