RE: October 18 Apple Event

2021-10-20 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Here in Canada we were around Par with the USD and for a short time the CAD was 
actually worth more than the USD around 2008
But 7 or so years before that 1 USD was over $1.60 CAD and now we are around 
$1.25 to $1.30 CAD for 1 USD.
It's all relative anyways, the CAD is worth less, but people also earn more 
here in Canadian Dollars. I think some US states have a minimum wage, but I 
don't think all of them do. Here in British Columbia minimum wage as of this 
June is $15.20 which currently is equivalent to approx. $12.30 USD. That is 
what I have to pay, for example, a 15 or 16-year old high school kid for which 
it might be their first job and of course if they are not a student under 18 
who don't make much in terms of employment insurance and Canada Pension Plan 
then there are additional costs on top of that for me for those things. Now, 
don't get me wrong, I am not saying this is wrong because after all, if 
somebody does work a minimum wage job and that is their main income and they 
work full time which means around 2000 or 2100 hours a year this means they 
make around $31,000 a year give or take a bit which is barely enough if you 
have to pay rent, eat and have a few other costs especially if you live in an 
expensive city like Vancouver or Toronto. But even in my small little northern 
town a 1-bedroom apartment or basement suite is easily $1,000 to $1,200 a month 
and in other places you are lucky if you find one for $1,500.

Just because your currency also has the "Dollar" name does not mean it is 
comparable to the US Dollar.
After all, an iPhone which costs $1,000 US costs 50,000 or 60,000 in the 
Philippines because a US Dollar is worth 51 or 52 Philippine Pesos.

Yes, I did listen to it now, not sure, but I think maybe the first 10 or 15 
minutes were about Apple Music and the new Airpods. These latest generation 3 
Airpods sound interesting, but I still don't like the very expensive price. On 
the one hand I'd love to try a set but then again I really don't know if I want 
to spend whatever the Canadian price will be, $179 US will most likely mean 
they are at least $249 here or maybe $259 to $279 Canadian, add to that our 
combined 12% taxes in British Columbia and it will be a $300 or just over $300 
set of earbuds. I have tons of points from my credit card and could easily buy 
a pair this way, but there is still something which makes me think not twice 
but thrice about spending that much on two little things I stick in my ear 
especially since I don't really like to stick things into my ear canal and 
probably wouldn't use them when I am going back and forth to my store every 
day. And there are so many other things I can spend money on! We just bought a 
new fridge and I'd love to get new kitchen cabinets and inf act I'd love to 
take our bedroom and combine it with a small one next door for a larger master 
bedroom and then to combine the third upstairs guest room with our living room

Yeah, agreed,

And that seems to be the big problem now is that most things have been done / 
created
So  they need to be designing / redesigning the products to better utilise the 
available services.

Such as how do they put the M1 in to an iPhone or Ipad not pro!

Get in to the fashion side of things like glasses along the lines of the bose 
frames,
But again these things have been done,
So they need to do it better

I for one would love a set of apple glasses if it gave me the same result / 
functionality as the frames I have.

And that’s only one thing.

The sound system on the 14 and 16 inch mbp’s sounds pretty empressive,

Can’t wait to have a look at the pricing.


Other than that I can’t really see what they needed a presentation for,

None of the music / airpods etc really seemed new.

I am surprised that I didn't find a single message tonight about this morning's 
Apple Event. I didn't have time yet to listen, but saw a few headlines about 
new Airpods, HomePods with new colours, better SIRI integration with Apple 
Music and a new "voice only" subscription for Apple Music in addition to the 
personal and family plans. This one apparently is only $4.99 US a month and 
gives you access to all 90 Million songs Apple has plus all their curated 
playlists, any idea how this is different from a regular subscription? Does it 
mean you can't open the music app and find music this way or maybe you can play 
anything, but can't add anything to your library or download it?

The rest apparently was all Mac related which is of no interest to me as a 
Windows/PC user.


Take care,

RE: October 18 Apple Event

2021-10-19 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Yes, I did listen to it now, not sure, but I think maybe the first 10 or 15 
minutes were about Apple Music and the new Airpods. These latest generation 3 
Airpods sound interesting, but I still don't like the very expensive price. On 
the one hand I'd love to try a set but then again I really don't know if I want 
to spend whatever the Canadian price will be, $179 US will most likely mean 
they are at least $249 here or maybe $259 to $279 Canadian, add to that our 
combined 12% taxes in British Columbia and it will be a $300 or just over $300 
set of earbuds. I have tons of points from my credit card and could easily buy 
a pair this way, but there is still something which makes me think not twice 
but thrice about spending that much on two little things I stick in my ear 
especially since I don't really like to stick things into my ear canal and 
probably wouldn't use them when I am going back and forth to my store every 
day. And there are so many other things I can spend money on! We just bought a 
new fridge and I'd love to get new kitchen cabinets and inf act I'd love to 
take our bedroom and combine it with a small one next door for a larger master 
bedroom and then to combine the third upstairs guest room with our living room 
and on my list of long-term plans goes.

Sieghard,
I think you didn't see any messages about the presentation because it was 
boring.
That is, unless you are majorly into Mac computers, which I am not.
They actually did a comparison with what they called a high-end Compact PC to 
demonstrate the far better performance of the Mac laptop especially on battery 
life and overall speed and energy usage.
I heard no prices, but I was admittedly not giving it my whole attention.
I was just curious.
It sounds like the Siri Apple music subsccription can only be accessed by voice.
That is all they specified.
HTH,

RE: October 18 Apple Event

2021-10-19 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Fazil, go to Apple.com and listen to the announcement, most o the keynote was 
about Mac, but in a nutshell they mostly talked about a couple of new Mac Book 
Pro laptops with a new M1 Pro and M1 Max processor,, the new "Apple silicon" as 
rthey call it shows how they are moving away from Intel processors towards the 
processors designed in-house which apparently are quite innovative and 
powerful. I now listened to the event and even to the Mac part even though I 
use Windows, what they say is impressive, but what I noticed again and again is 
that these new Pro laptops are designed for professionals like people who work 
all the time with huge graphic files and video files, people who design games, 
do animation, fancy video editing and also music production. At one point Tim 
Cook even said that these are what all the "Pros" want or those "who simply 
want the best" or something along these lines. These are quite expensive 
laptops which in Canada will be probably around $3,000 to $4,000 and they are 
not what the average consumer will buy.

I am surprised that I didn't find a single message tonight about this morning's 
Apple Event. I didn't have time yet to listen, but saw a few headlines about 
new Airpods, HomePods with new colours, better SIRI integration with Apple 
Music and a new "voice only" subscription for Apple Music in addition to the 
personal and family plans. This one apparently is only $4.99 US a month and 
gives you access to all 90 Million songs Apple has plus all their curated 
playlists, any idea how this is different from a regular subscription? Does it 
mean you can't open the music app and find music this way or maybe you can play 
anything, but can't add anything to your library or download it?

The rest apparently was all Mac related which is of no interest to me as a 
Windows/PC user.


Take care,
Sieghard
