    One of the things Apple does better than anyone else that rarely gets talked about is input lag

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 02:02 PM PDT

    This guy did a series of input lag tests on a slew of computers and mobile devices using a high speed camera, and not only do IPhones come out on top, so does the Apple IIe from 1983:

    Yet it's never a marketing point or even something you hear discussed, but it goes a huge way to making a computer or phone feel faster and snappier.

    PSA: If you redeemed an iTunes digital copy code from a Blu-Ray, but only see HD resolution for a movie that’s available in 4K resolution on your iTunes account, the ONLY way to get 4K resolution is to repurchase the movie by “gifting” it to yourself.

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 10:46 PM PDT

    We all know, if you purchased a movie on iTunes in HD, Apple will give you a free upgrade from HD to 4K resolution when and if it becomes available. They've said this at press conferences. I've seen it first-hand in my iTunes account.

    However, please know that you will NOT necessarily receive a 4K upgrade from HD for movies you redeemed on iTunes (or MoviesAnywhere) from a digital copy code you got with a blu-ray.

    For example, I noticed this most recently with Wes Anderson's "Isle of Dogs," which I purchased on blu-ray. This movie is not available in Ultra HD blu-ray in the U.S., only 1080p HD blu-ray... However, it IS available on iTunes in 4K UHD.

    I redeemed the digital code that came with my blu-ray disc on MoviesAnywhere, which gave me access to the iTunes version. I noticed afterwards, however, that on the iTunes Store I did not get the 4K UHD version, but rather it said I only had an HD version.

    OK, no problem, I'll pay an upgrade fee to turn my HD only version into a 4K version.

    The problem is, you can't upgrade to 4K. And there's no obvious way to repurchase the movie on your existing iTunes account from scratch.

    I found later that this applied to not only "Isle of Dogs," but older movies as well (whose codes I redeemed long before MoviesAnywhere existed) like "Lawrence of Arabia." It also seems to be on a case-by-case basis, since some movies whose codes I have redeemed, I have gotten a free upgrade to 4K. It's entirely arbitrary, and most likely subject to agreements with the film studios.

    And it's stupid.

    Well, after talking to four different Apple Support representatives, we found a solution.

    If you already have a movie associated with your iTunes account, but you only have access to the HD version and not the 4K version in iTunes, repurchase the movie by "Gifting" it to yourself. When you redeem the "gift," you essentially repurchase the movie, and you'll get the 4K version in the process.

    Not an elegant solution, but it does work. I hope this helps.

    Unpopular Opinion: The Touch Bar is not a gimmick

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 11:02 PM PDT

    I don't think that the Touch Bar is a gimmick at all, and here's why. I think that most people who have the Touch Bar MBP find themselves using the TB way more than they ever used the function keys on other keyboards. The TB provides a functionality that the function keys could never bring to a device before, allowing efficiency in both professional edits and everyday use. I do not think that something that improves and increases the usability of a previous design could be considered a gimmick.

    However, the TB is far from perfect. I do not think that the TB is worth a $300 upgrade for the usability it brings. Apple also bas a long way to go in perfecting its integration in different apps as well. But saying that the Touch Bar isn't worth it price wise doesn't mean its a gimmick.

    To me, it's clear that Apple spend a lot of effort in finding a way to improve the function keys in a innovative and modern design.

    Tl;dr: The TB may not be worth the price, but its overall improvement on the function disqualifies it from being classified as a gimmick.

    Can Apple make ARM chips more powerful than Intel’s desktop CPUs?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 04:31 PM PDT

    Many people are excited for Apple to eventually develop their own CPUs for the Mac, and I hear a lot saying that they think Apple can make better and more powerful processors than Intel can. I've seen people compare the Geekbench scores of the A11 Bionic from the iPhone X to the 2017 13" MacBook Pro and point out that the iPhone X gets a better score, and therefore Apple can make more powerful CPUs. However, I'm not a computer engineer so I'm not quite sure that statement is true. What if Apple tried developing desktop CPUs? Could they compare to what's in the iMac Pro? Can ARM desktop processors compare to x86?

    I really wish my daily morning alarm only went off if I’m home

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 06:26 AM PDT

    It would be perfect as a little toggle and wouldn't have to share additional data with servers (I think) since the only options are home or not home.

    How does Logic Pro X compare to FL Studio, Adobe Audition, or other audio editing apps?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 08:41 PM PDT

    While everyone on Youtube is talking about Final Cut Pro / Premiere Pro, I'm wondering how well Apple's audio apps perform compared to competitors.

    Whatever happened to Apple Music alerting you to new music from artists?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 06:07 AM PDT

    So I have had several of my favorite bands put out new music, and it just hit me last night that Apple Music has never once alerted me to it. I double checked and I have the settings enabled for it to do so. Does this feature work for anybody else?

    2018 MacBook Pro keyboard light bleed?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 12:43 PM PDT

    Just a question for anyone else with the 2018 MacBook Pro. Should the key light under the spacebar be noticeable? I notice in some reviews you can see every key illuminating but then the spacebar is not lit. On my computer I can see all the lights underneath it during normal use.

    Advice: Lost an AirPod

    Posted: 01 Aug 2018 03:43 PM PDT

    I like, like many others, have shockingly lost an AirPod. A friend of my mine is in a similar position with the opposite ear. Question: am I able to combine the set, reset my AirPods through the button on the back and move on with my life or is my only option to buy a replacement directly from Apple?
