Until Nov 3 this is Apple's flagship phone

they even had a keynote about it

pretty sure the iPhone 8 only exists because tim had to say “one more thing” and needed a first thing

Joanna Stern had a face mask made by a prop company and it didn't work, so, no

the mask was floppy and put on someone elses face so it was deformed, if it was a rigid mask it might work

intel is making a chip with AMD graphics https://www.anandtech.com/show/12003/intel-to-create-new-8th-generation-cpus-with-amd-radeon-graphics-with-hbm2-using-emib

which means quad core macbooks and 13" macbooks pro with real graphics!

ridiculous that in tyool 2017 apple won't sell a laptop with 32GB of RAM

or a laptop with a working keyboard

they want to but intel still doesn't have a chip that supports lpddr4, they could use regular ddr4 but that would reduce their best in the industry 30 days standby to one week and more people would complain about that then the lack of 32GB of ram

also the loving iphone 6s has lpddr4 so intel is really slacking here

or even worse, a 2013 Mac Pro

everything is external, and upgradeable (maybe, lol, can’t innovate my rear end)

the mac pro might have worked if apple actually delivered on "thunderbolt is the future"

they didn't make a single new thunderbolt 2 device after the mac pro, they should have had pci-e enclosures, fiber channel, 10G ethernet, raid arrays etc on day one

id buy a HomePod if it had line in but it doesn’t so I’ll probably get a Sonos 5 instead

i don't really care about the line in because it can play any audio through airplay and any video when paired with an appletv, but there is no way use it with say a nintendo switch or ps4, but apple will probably fix this by making the appletv a hdmi ARC receiver in the future

are you asking if the homepod connects directly to spotify's servers and plays the ogg files provided by spotify directly? the answer is no, but it doesn't matter.

airplay works great, but i can see how that's confusing when chromecast and other similar mirroring/airplay ripoffs are poo poo.

i have an an appletv and a reciever that supports airplay and spotify and i use the native spotify casting every time because it just works better

apple music also lets you add your own music, which spotify doesn't. google and amazon also do this, so idk why spotify doesn't.

you can add your own music from the desktop app to the phone app over local wifi only, it sucks

what sucks even more is I can't cast my own music from phone to my spotify enabled receiver, it doesn't even give a nice error just fails silently
