Fact check much? The Ultra 2's biggest design change is NOT a switch to "95% recycled aluminum" -- which, indeed, would have been a monumental design shift for a 100% titanium watch, which the Ultra 2 continues to be. Also: how do you throw out a statement like, "It fails to deliver on the...

Great review, thank you! I know the Max getting the zoom lens this year was simply a matter of sufficient space for it, which the smaller Pro will not have until next year. But I hope Apple doesn't turn the Max into the more feature-laden Pro model because it's a form factor decision for those...

Have you compared them to AirPods Pro 2 running the latest firmware updates? I've owned the Pro 2s since the release date, and they were certainly excellent then, but I have NEVER heard any audio product improved so much via firmware updates as the latest ones for the Pro 2s. The sound quality...

It's also worth mentioning that the HDR 10+ support only matters if your television supports HDR 10+, which many (most?) sets do not, such as all LG sets, in particular. HDR 10 support is much more comment, but not the same as 10+.

I could not agree more with your observations. I've had two iterations of the Fire TV Cube. And I have only myself to blame, after the awful experience with the endlessly buggy v1 hardware, for buying v2. But I loved the promise of the Fire Cube, and thought it would surely replace my Apple TV...

If you use your iMac for work and your work involves significant use of Zoom, then I would argue that looking and sounding much better on those calls is a very significant benefit on its own. If the M1-driven MB Air and Pro are any indication, this will also be the fastest iMac by a wide...

Sorry to say that I'll be returning my MW08--the new fit system doesn't work for me. Ironically, a main reason for buying the original MW07 was the fit system with "wings" that both held the buds securely in my ears and helped insure a good seal of the ear canal. The MW08, which no longer has...
