Thanks for posting that article, Tim. I just have a couple of comments on it. Somebody on another list I am on pointed out that the Samsung S7 and S7 active have that waterproof speck of 68 IPS is it 68, not 67. They have a headphone jack, and their spec is actually better than the new iPhone in

Airplay requires Wi-Fi. I found that out the hard way, when I tried to stream something to my airplay enabled stereo from my phone which was on LTE at the time, not Wi-Fi. No joy. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 7, 2016, at 5:58 PM, Dane Trethowan wrote: > > Hmm, interesting. > I have seen

guess you’ll have to read the compatibility notes on that microphone if you do decide to upgrade to a 7. I won’t be upgrading but I am curious to hear what a 7 sounds like given it has stereo speakers. The speaker in the iPhone 6 and 6S sounds absolutely glorious compared to Apple’s past IOS eff

Hmm, interesting. I have seen AirPlay devices that are around which are in perfect sync with Airplay - that is to say there’s no delay between source and target when streaming - so I thought Apple may have perhaps used that method. Then again AirPlay streaming does take a fair amount of power so

I may not be able to go to the 7, I just bought a Rode xyl microphone, and I am not sure it will even fit on the 7! The Rode support people would not comment, I suppose I could always go somewhere and test. On Wed, 07 Sep 2016 20:37:46 -0400, Dane Trethowan wrote: > > Whilst I don’t travel on pl

The Airpots are still using Bluetooth, but wrapped in all sorts of Apple secret sauce. Probably some aspects from the now announced BT 5.0 spec. Here is a fuller description of the justification for removing the headphone jack and the Airpod tech and design. Inside iPhone 7: Why Apple Killed T

Actually, there's a difference between "whining" and legitimate complaints about a feature that one values that is now lost. If I were gaining something substantial by losing the headphone jack I'd feel better about it, but I'm losing a substantial capability -- the ability to use headphones and

What you don't realize is that for some folks who are deaf or hard of hearing, or people like me who travel on trains and planes, having the ability to use headphones and charge your phones is pretty important. I resent having a substantive capability taken away for the sake of "thinness". --

It just means my friend that this thing collects loads and loads of sampels of audio and uses 24 bits of them at a time. Or something like that. I've forgotten how to explane sample rate which is what 192 KHZ is. Then there's the bit depth. Which is 24 bit. All it really means in a real practica
