Lees meerI’ve been loving my AirPods Pro since I got them a few weeks ago. I was originally an AirPods skeptic—I never liked the way EarPods fit or sounded—but their wire-free convenience made me a believer. The AirPods Pro took it further with the introduct…
Lees meerA week later, we’re pondering the 16-inch MacBook Pro and what it means about how Apple listens to customers and criticism. We also look into the future to wonder where Apple will take touchscreen devices and whether we’re uncomfortable about Apple’…
Lees meerRecently a friend of mine complained that he was having trouble with iOS not recognizing his daughter’s name. It’s not a particularly unusual name, but it’s just not in Apple’s built-in dictionary, and so the system kept changing it to another name …
Lees meerApple listens. It often seems like it doesn’t, for a couple reasons. Firstly, because it usually doesn’t come right out and say “we’re listening”—at least not specifically. But more visibly, because the actions that result from that listening gener…
Lees meerIt’s not the first and it won’t be the last, but Wednesday’s announcement of the 16-inch MacBook Pro is probably the clearest sign thus far that Apple has changed its priorities when it comes to the Mac. It’s a process that’s been visible in public…

Lees meerI’ve long been a proponent of using the iPad for podcasting, whether recording or editing them. When the new Apple Pencil came out a year ago, I integrated it into my iPad editing workflow. I can edit podcasts with the Apple Pencil at a pretty imp…
Lees meerIn less than two months since its arrival, iOS 13 has already blasted through two major updates (iOS 13.1 and 13.2) with Apple readying a third. But in the back rooms at Apple, plans are already being drawn up to move beyond the bug fixes of fall an…
Lees meerI badly want to love AirPods Pro. Put simply, Apple’s new wireless earbuds are chock full of amazing features: they’re lightweight, they have impressive noise cancellation, and they make switching between devices easy. There’s just one small pro…
Lees meerI’ve spent the last week wearing Apple’s new AirPods Pro. Not a week straight, I mean, but pretty consistently in all the places where I would usually use one of my other myriad sets of headphones. In looking at the AirPods Pro as a product, I thin…
Lees meerThe original AirPods were a revelation, even for a person like me, who had written off Apple’s ability to create good headphones years before. The combination of being truly wireless, sounding pretty good, and being easy to use turned the AirPods…

Lees meerIn late October, my house lost power and internet for three days, part of a larger story involving nearby fires and poorly maintained electrical infrastructure in California. Over those 72 hours and the ones that directly preceded and followed them,…
Lees meerI quite like the first three episodes of “For All Mankind.” But I had to deal with the app losing my viewing progress, and failing to sync it with other devices. And then I heard from people who were confused why HBO shows were showing up in the TV …
Lees meerThis week, on the irreverent tech show that now reviews TV shows, we discuss all of Apple’s fine new streaming offerings, with the operative word being “fine.” Then Dan has thoughts on the AirPods Pro, John’s in the market for HomeKit-compatible sec…
Lees meerApple TV+ has finally arrived, and we discuss Apple’s first round of new shows—as well as an unimpressive performance from the TV app itself. We’ve also got reviews of the new AirPods Pro, and Apple’s latest financial results reveal that for the iPh…
Lees meerSometimes in technology you think of an idea that everybody needs—one of those things that you can’t believe nobody has built. And sometimes you just think of something that you really need. Not infrequently, my wife asks me to pick her up fro…
