Everything, including the price, is on another level Ever since Apple’s WWDC 2023 keynote, friends have been asking me what I think of Apple Vision Pro, the company’s newly announced AR/VR goggles that will be available in early 2024. While the product itself seems impressive, with an impressively high $3,500…

I’m looking at you, MKBHD — As I’ve been looking through reviews of HomePod 2, I’d largely describe my reaction as relief. Despite what I’d consider my initial well-founded fears, most reviews have confirmed that Apple managed to pull off a sort of technological audio jiujitsu, with HomePod 2 matching the audio quality of the original…

Be careful what you wish for The big HomePod is back! And way earlier than I had expected! It’s been less than two years since Apple announced that the original HomePod was being discontinued so they could focus more on the smaller, cheaper HomePod mini. But it appears that Apple…

The unique design of AirPods Max deserves a unique stand A few months ago, I decided to splurge on a pair of expensive AirPods Max headphones. Since I planned to use them almost exclusively at home for watching TV and sometimes listening to music while working, and there is a…

Get baby stuff you and your kid will use for years If you have a baby on the way, you’ll surely be inundated with suggestions for supposedly must-have parenting items you should be buying or adding to a registry/wish list. To be honest, very few of these items are ones…

With all the pros, cons, and risks that entails Apple’s AirPods Max over-ear headphones were intriguing, confounding, and polarizing from the moment they were unveiled in December 2020.

I could’ve waited another year, but I would’ve suffered for it — I really wasn’t planning on getting the Apple Watch Series 7. I have a Series 4 that is still in good shape aside from a little lag here and there, so I figured I’d wait one more year before upgrading. But my wife pointed out that our healthcare plan includes…

My thoughts after using Fitness+ for eight months Even though exercise and fitness have always been very important to me for both physical and mental health, I’ve never had a gym membership. I don’t like the atmosphere, cost, and questionable hygiene of gyms (even before the pandemic), and I’m a…

No way, man! I've waited long enough for this one. I really don't have any confidence that Apple is going to support ATV on any kind of regular, let alone accelerated, refresh schedule. I saw the rumors about an ATV/soundbar combo, but I don't think that's coming any time soon. There's also the rumor that Apple killed the gyroscope and accelerometer because they're going to make their own game controller, but I can also see them being happy enough to use Sony or Xbox controllers. If a new ATV is based on Apple finally taking hardcore gaming seriously, I wouldn't hold my breath.
