huh?What? Heck no!
I don't want to change battery every year because of wireless charging.
Wireless charging degrades the battery much faster than regular charging.
IMO: kill the Lightning port on the iPhone, move entirely to wireless charging and accessories, and change the iPad to USB-C.
That seems like the correct and inevitable path forward for both product lines.

this actually isn't trueWireless charging degrades the battery much faster than regular charging.
iPhone-wise, that seems like the worst idea ever, both from a convenience and a efficiency point of view.IMO: kill the Lightning port on the iPhone, move entirely to wireless charging and accessories, and change the iPad to USB-C.

It literally destroys tons of use cases, because wireless charging can't replace cable charging no matter how much it catches up in charging speed, until you can use your phone (on your hands, not on a table) while it's being charged, like you can with a cable.
It's not going to happen, but it would make me change phones 100%. Unless we're talking about the "the whole room is a wireless charger" future.
I really like being able to plug my iPhone and iPad into my Mac to back it up locally. WiFi backup is much worse. And I don't want to use iCloud backup for two phones and three iPads.
Also charging your phone in the car is still a really important use case that wireless charging is not ready for.
Yeah. I have no doubt eventually Apple is going to move everything wireless, but there's still too many pitfalls for inductive charging for it to happen, and Li-On batteries haven't made a big leap in capacity or longevity in a while.
I am the crazy guy who still syncs stuff with a wire to iTunes as well.
All Gurmans sources get fired and some prosecuted. It's amazing that people still leak to this guy.
I don't disagree with any of this, but Apple has pretty clearly shown they don't give a fuck about stuff like this. I think it's inevitable within 5 years or so.
I've only had it since November.To be fair, you've typed a lot of words about iTunes Match over the years
It's amazing that Apple keeps hiring douchebags that are happy to leak company secrets. You rarely saw this happening back in the Jobs days. You'd get leaks from Chinese manufacturers, but hardly ever out of Cupertino. This leak is not great, but the one about the AR/VR headset is just jaw-dropping. Imagine if someone had leaked details about iPhone prototype hardware early on. I don't know if Tim just inspires less loyalty or fear or what, but he has to get a handle on this at Apple HQ because it gives competitors huge amounts of information about what Apple is thinking about.
That's a 13" MBP, not a 15". And there will probably be an update within a few months so I'd hold out if you can. It'll be a huge leap either way. The 12" is super underpowered. But it is nice and tiny.Good morning my Apple family. Since a couple of days ago I've been thinking of making a switch from my 12" MacBook to the recent 15" MacBook Pro. Whats your saying peeps?

Sounds like your mic is filled up with liquid or dirt / blocked by something (case? screen protector?). I've had the exact same issue with my Apple Watch a while ago and after inserting a piece of tissue into the openings, some liquid from washing it got soaked up. Worked just fine after that.So, I just got an iPhone X like a week or so ago. And Siri decided to stop listening to me today.
It can listen if I get really close, but what it hears is all wrong. Can anyone help me out with this?
I like the 12" it has been good to me those 2-3 years but I miss the 15" and I like the new one. So I just wait for them to announce the new laptops?That's a 13" MBP, not a 15".

Honestly, I don't know how haha. It's just the exact same symptoms I had with my Apple Watch and Siri so a blocked mic might very well be the reason. Did you try audio recording / calling somebody to see if the issue persists or is exclusive to Siri?
YouTube 4K / 4K HDR chromecasting as ATV 4K doesn't support the codec. That is, if you got the Chromecast UltraCan you guys think of any reason why I should keep my Chromecast if I have an Apple TV? Granted I have a Google Home but still

Streaming or local files?I just want to mirror my MacBook to my Sony TV to watch anime or whatever I have. Is it worth getting Apple TV 4k or there's better solutions?
(Connecting the HDMI from TV to laptop isn't one)
What you'll want to do is make sure that's the issue first. Try the voice memos app, can it hear you? How about phone calls, front video, and rear video? Those all use various microphones (the phone has three)

Local files in the laptop
Yes its a Sony X930E. Yeah it has Chromecast but what if I wanna play something from VLC directly to the TV? Can I make it happen? Of course having the MB and TV connected to the same wifiIs it an android TV? If so it has chromecast built in which you could cast to from chrome. Or from plex
You have a smart tv you can just stream the files from you computer.Local files in the laptop

No lag? Full resolution?You have a smart tv you can just stream the files from you computer.
You can use something like universal media server.

I haven't used it in years but I never had any issues when I did. Just make sure you exclude all file formats from encoding because the Sony X930E should be able to play most formats.
Will try it and get back to you. Thanks a lot for your help mateI haven't used it in years but I never had any issues when I did. Just make sure you exclude all file formats from encoding because the Sony X930E should be able to play most formats.
Technically, you should be able to share the files natively but that has never worked for me.Will try it and get back to you. Thanks a lot for your help mate
I tried that and never worked too =\Technically, you should be able to share the files natively but that has never worked for me.

Voice memos can hear me. Phone calls are heard really low and front video can be heard sort of normally? Low, but if I put the volume all the way up, it can be heard just fine.
New laptops should be at WWDC. Though I'd think twice about moving to a 15 unless you really need the power, or it'll be mostly desk-bound. The 13s will be moving to quad-cores this update too.I like the 12" it has been good to me those 2-3 years but I miss the 15" and I like the new one. So I just wait for them to announce the new laptops?
There's definitely been issues with iOS 11 and the Smart Keyboards. If you have a 9.7 Pro or a 2015 12.9, Apple recently extended the warranty for those to 3 years so you could exchange it.The other issue is with my iPad Pro and the Smart Keyboard. This is an official Smart Keyboard straight from Apple and not a knockoff, but I've been having issues for the past few months about the iPad not switching to the keyboard. I'll keep getting a "This accessory is not supported" message and have to constantly disconnect and reconnect the keyboard/cover hybrid from my iPad. I'm not sure if this is due to the recent firmware updates, but it's been like this for a while.

So there's pretty good odds that Apple announces a new iteration of the iPad Pro early this next month, right? I'm trying to stay strong and not buy a 10.5 model like tomorrow.
I had planned to take the iPad and keyboard with me to the Apple Store today but I stupidly left it behind. I'll have to remember the next time I'm nearby a store, as I'm pretty sure I should be within the three years.
Don't suppose there are any ideas about the Apple TV issue? I'm not sure if that's a problem with the box or a handshake problem with my TV.
Everyone is within three years, Smart Keyboard first released November 2015.
And it does sound like a handshake issue, don't the 2016 OLEDs have issues with Dolby vision? Try matching color and not frame rate (and vice versa) and see if you can narrow stuff down. Also make sure it's plugged into the right HDMI port on the TV and that the port is set to "enhanced" mode or whatever LG calls it
I actually miss my old 15" that's why I wanna go back to 15"New laptops should be at WWDC. Though I'd think twice about moving to a 15 unless you really need the power, or it'll be mostly desk-bound. The 13s will be moving to quad-cores this update too.
So wait till WWDC then?Wait for 8th gen intel chips for any latop or 2in1 you're buying be it MacOS or Windows.
