    Could there be any surprise announcements at the "Glowtime" Event?

    Like, could Apple surprise us with any features/products at the upcoming events that aren't rumoured/are rumoured but highly unlikely to make it, like AirPods Max Gen 2?

    Post your Apple Ecosystem!

    Hi all! I’m wondering what Apple products you use daily and can’t live without! I did something similar last year which was pretty fun so I thought I’d continued the yearly tradition to include new purchases. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (guess the colour 😂) Apple Watch Series 7 - Green...

    Anyone keeping extra spare sets of 2nd generation AirPods for when they are no longer available?

    Maybe I’m crazy, but I greatly prefer the 2nd generation AirPods over the 3rd generation AirPods due to comfort and method of interaction. The tap to interact is so much better to me cause I can tap of them as I’m walking whereas the 3rd generation ones are controlled by squeezing the stem and I...

    Siri No Longer Announcing Notifications Through Air Pods

    This on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.6. Since I got this phone I've had it set up so that Siri announces Notifications via Air Pods if I'm listening to Music. This has always worked. Until this week. Siri no longer announces any Notifcations. I used to get Notifications from Home...

    Which AirPods should I try?

    Hi everyone! I am still using my 2nd generation AirPods after many years, but now unfortunately the battery health on them is not the best.

    With the release of iOS and iPadOS 17 this fall, we will now be able to just say “Siri” to activate everyone’s favorite virtual assistant. I recently downloaded the developer betas on my iPad mini 6 and iPhone 14 Pro, and connected AirPods Pro 2 didn’t support it. You still have to say “Hey...

    Pro 2: optimized charging is broken

    I had my AirPod pro 2 case replaced because the case would endlessly drain when optimized charging was on, even though it wasn’t actually charging the AirPods. This isn’t related to a general battery drain issue as the case would stay the same percentage if it wasn’t used. Now my 2nd case is...
