I feel like the rumors for mixed up, and these Powerbeats Pro are those black matte water resistant AirPods 2 we were hearing about
What formats/sizes is your GF working at? Because to be honest I can do pretty large canvases in Photoshop on my old an creaky Mac Pro. The theoretical speed benefits are blunted by the fact that Adobe's applications really don't make full use of your available hardware.
If anything, I'd say the best use of your money isn't on the processor but the SSD, especially if she isn't using another SSD for her cache and scratch disks (and because an SSD will make every task faster and has fewer points of potential failure than a fusion drive). After that would come the GPU since it's non-upgradable, then the RAM and processor.
Mine originally said early April and now I'm getting them on Wednesday, for what it's worth. Store availability is still going to be a crapshoot
Black and in-ear sounds good, but I don't want no dang hooks on my earphones
It shouldn't need any update. It likely falls back on the same connection protocols used with the W1 AirPods.
Just added my Sony Bravia to the Home app via Homebridge and the 12.2 TV integration into Home is actually fantastic! Switching input channels manually was a pain in the butt before since I never have the remote on hand and controls on the set are finicky. Now I can control the whole system from my iPad / iPhone. Bless all these devs that do what greedy ass companies don't (aka providing new features to expensive TV sets that are barely over two years old). I'm done with Sony TVs anyway, adding (even more) spyware to this shitty Android TV OS is not acceptable.
Just in case anybody hasn't noticed, there's a new firmware out for the original AirPods too, version 6.3.2, seems to improve the connecting experience quite a bit. I'm wondering how much of the connectivity improvements touted for the v2 are really just improved software.
To update they need to be in the case and conencted to power, within bluetooth range of your phone.
You can check you version in the AirPods section in General -> About

I hate the pads, they seem to always come off for me and I hate replacing them lol
Can someone tell me whats so special about the Airpower mat? Is it doing anything special that other products on the market isn't already doing?
I see mats on Amazon that charges 2+ products at once at 10W. Is there something proprietary in the Airpower im not seeing?

1. It works for Apple Watch
2. It can simultaneously charge an iPhone, Airpods, and Watch, if the old promo is to be believed.
So basically, three coils close together and interoperable support for Apple Watch. But honestly, we haven't even seen a real one yet so who knows on wattage, how close the coils are together, how loosely things can sit on the mat when next to each other, etc. I remember an old report suggesting 8 coils or something to make it truly idiot-proof (just put three things on there, it works) but it could also be much simpler than that?
Anyone else starting to notice that their AirPods don't really last as long as they used to on a single charge? I'm not really down for $269.99 CAD for the new generation of AirPods after only 1.5 years of owning the originals, despite how much I love them.
Yes, I've also noticed that my left airpod is very quiet but that might just be dirty inside the airpod.
Consequence of such small batteries, unfortunately. Not much Apple can do given battery chemistry being where it's at.
There's probably some wax behind the grill, which is difficult but not impossible to clean out
Regarding the announcement of the Apple TV app coming to Roku, Fire TV and other devices:
Does that mean that I'll be able to watch movies I've purchqsed in iOS or Apple TV in my Roku once that app rolls out?
Or is this strictly the TV streaming service and won't include purchased movies from Apple?

With the new AirPods being bluetooth 5.0, I wanted to look up what I have that is also 5.0 compatible. And, I noticed that the Apple TV 4K is 5.0, but the Siri remote itself is only 4.0. I guess it doesn't matter all that much, but I wonder why it's only 4.0 and not 5.0.
I bet it includes iTunes purchases, like Apple Music on Android does
That would be great. I have a really old Apple TV but I never keep it hooked up anymore because its interface is fairly slow, but my fiancé and I have several movies that are only on iTunes (not on Movies Anywhere yet) and it sucks to have to plug the Apple TV back in just to watch the handful of movies we have on there.
Yeah that's the problem haha.
I guess I could wait until the 3rd gen refresh. Mine are okay right now but I've noticed the talk time is degrading pretty quickly.
Yea, mine were almost 2 years old and felt like they had less than 50% the capacity of new ones. Luckily we have 2 year warranty here so Apple exchanged them for free.
Anyone know why my AirPods aren't showing in Settings-General-About? They're paired up and work fine but I was just going to check the firmware version and they're not showing in the About screen where it says they should be.
Edit: Nevermind, they appeared after shutting the lid.

From what I've read about wireless chargers is that there's usually a sweet spot you have to line up to charge, which takes away a bit from the convenience factor. Like you can't necessarily just plop a phone down anywhere, it's gotta line up right. The overly complex AirPower rumors make sense in that light since they want people to be able to just stick stuff anywhere on there and just work...unfortunately that's apparently more difficult to pull off than they thought (at least to their satisfaction).
Yeah...if I get new ones (or the new Powerbeats) I'll sell mine to fund them. On the plus side AirPods are now a hot thing apparently so it looks like you can sell them for a decent amount at least.
I'd be down for a battery replacement (which presumably just means new/refurb AirPods)...but IIRC for the cost to replace both I might as well get new ones.
I'm really hoping USB-C, particularly since they have an Android market to cater to, but wouldn't be surprised at Lightning. The redesigned Pill they came out with a while ago was Lightning as well, then again, that was quite a while ago at this point. Perhaps things have settled down with USB-C and it's ubiquitous enough to go with it. And wondering if it'll have wireless charging too.
Is it possible to remove any or all of these apps from my MacBook? I don't use any of them.

Wow this bug introduced in 10.14.4 really sucks.
Some macOS Mojave 10.14.4 users having problems with Gmail & G Suite authentication in Apple Mail
https://appleinsider.com/articles/1...th-gmail-g-suite-authentication-in-apple-mail
I can't check Gmail mail with Apple mail or use Apple Calendar with my google calendar anymore. Stuck using the web version until Apple issues a fix.
Apparely if you have vanilla Gmail it's fine but if you have some kind of G-Suite or institutional account then your likely experiencing this bug.

It should be fine - my kids both have one and use it for youtube, browsing etc. Price is what you think is worthwhile but seems reasonable to me
Are you dragging from the applications folder or just the dock? Essential apps that can't be deleted with throw up an error if you attempt to trash them.
I don't think you can delete these apps, because they're not just apps but also deeply integrated system services (Mail, Messages, Maps, Calendar, Siri, Photos, etc.)
You should be able to delete iMovie, it's an app from the app store, so you should be able to hold-option-and-click-the-X when looking at iMove in launchpad.
Besides, most of these apps take up very little space.
Thing is, the "services" these apps provide aren't actually in the apps themselves for the most part. Like iOS it's all in libraries in the background. So like iOS you should be allowed to remove those apps on macOS, but Apple doesn't let you right now. You'd think they'd want to make it like iOS and have the ability to "offload" these apps or delete them all together, but it would still keep the helper libraries in place. To the user they'd be gone but the OS would still work when it needs to. Maybe 10.15 will allow it. macOS seems to get iOS features a few years later these days.
