I really love mine, too. I can listen to a book for hours, then charge them for 15 or 20 minutes, then not again until I leave them charging overnight. I can't get over how different they feel from the regular ones that came with my phone. I didn't like those at all. Take care, Lois

I would say that would depend on how you want to use them. I want to use them for work outs, for walking, for using my phone at night while my husband's asleep, stuff like that. I think they're supposed to give you like 5 hours? For my purposes, that's plenty of time. And remember, all you

Hi, What makes me a bit hesitant to buy a pair of airpods is the battery time which isn’t so impressing if one compares with a Plantronics headset, but if they are comfortable to wear and has good sound, maybe one should try them after all. /Krister > 8 juni 2017 kl. 16:13 skrev Donna Goodin

So a local store had AirPods in stock, so I picked myself up a pair. Gotta say, they are great! Love the sound, love the ease of use. This is what I am used to as the Apple experience. Makes me all the more intrigued about the HomePods. Cheers, Donna -- The following information is

Hi, Regarding 2.7 vs 2.1 processor speed, you need to be careful just looking at numbers. I have rooms full of 3.06 GHz iMacs at work that I guarantee wouldn't stand up at all to even a 1.7 GHz MacBook Air. the number is only one portion of the equation. There's the number of cores, the

Because right now, we're not that heavily invested in Sonos that we couldn't switch. If the HomePods sound better, and have more AI as Apple suggests, why not switch? Donna > On Jun 8, 2017, at 4:11 AM, Simon Fogarty wrote: > > Hi Donna, > > Yeah I am wondering but why

Hi Simon. This means that your EFI ROM is corrupted, and the computer is in EFI rom recovery mode. Unfortunately, this mode is not accessible, and since your computer is not new enough, it does not recover on its own. You need a restore CD which you can obtain through Apple. I suggest

But remember all the mac computers are upgradable or customisable from the factory, And solidering to the main board allows them to save space making things thinner / lighter, And apple aren't the only ones doing this now. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com
