No, it didn’t launch well back in iOS 6, but it’s turned out to be an impressive app. I like the overall design, Siri support, and Apple Watch support. My family also make a lot of dinner reservations through Yelp and OpenTable, so being able to launch it with a single tap is something I find myself often doing.</p>
<p>Like any app, it’s not perfect, and there are things I’d like to see it borrow from some competitors. After traveling a few times this summer, I’ve discovered five things I’d like Apple to add to Apple Maps in the future.</p>

The company introduced a new repair program, offering to fix faulty MacBook keyboards for free. It also said it is refunding customers who paid for similar repairs in the past.</p>
<p>The issue with the repair program, however, is that Apple is simply swapping the faulty keyboard for a keyboard with the same Butterfly design. That design is what is presumably leading to the issues many users are facing.</p>

As set-top boxes from Apple, Roku and now Amazon have grown in popularity over the last few years, two key issues have repeatedly popped up for viewers. How to best manage an overflowing chest of content and the headache that comes with multiple remotes.</p>
<p>Fire TV Cube looks to cure that with an all-in-one solution centered around its Alexa voice platform. In our hands-on testing, it delivered as a means for sorting through content but fell short as an intuitive hub for home theaters. The potential is there, but don’t count on it changing the game just yet.</p>

<p>But it also uses a number of algorithms to automate its learning. For example, if you play a particular track often, it will assume you like it. And simply playing a track and listening to it all the way through (as opposed to skipping it) has some degree of influence.</p>

Thu, 21 Jun 2018 13:41:45 +00009to5MacComment: Apple’s habit of announcing early, delivering late, is worse for Apple than for us

Thu, 21 Jun 2018 13:16:57 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2018/06/airpower.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500" /></div><p>Looking at Apple’s recent history of new product launches, it seems that delays are the norm rather than the exception.</p>
<p><a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/airpods/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AirPods</a> were originally promised for <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/26/airpods-delayed-late-october/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">late October 2016</a>, and actually went on sale <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/12/13/airpods-now-available-to-buy-from-apple-online-store-delivers-by-december-22/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in mid-December</a>. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/homepod/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HomePod</a> was announced in <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/06/05/wwdc-apple-homepod-first-look/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">June 2017</a>, promised for <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/06/05/wwdc-apple-homepod-first-look/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">December 2017</a>, and wasn’t actually available until <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/01/23/homepod-will-be-available-to-order-from-friday-in-stores-on-february-9/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">February 2018</a>. In both cases, Apple missed the all-important holiday gift season, which undoubtedly hurt launch sales.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/mac-pro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mac Pro</a> isn’t technically late, as the company said only that it would go on sale ‘after 2017,’ but it was announced in <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/04/apple-upgrades-mac-pros-signals-radical-new-modular-mac-pros-next-year-with-apple-displays/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April 2017</a> and a year later Apple said it would be <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/05/mac-pro-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sometime in 2019</a> – which is a lengthy wait by anyone’s standards.</p>

Thu, 21 Jun 2018 11:48:50 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/airpower-apple-iphone-event-01.jpeg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600" /></div><p>Apple’s AirPower charging mat was first announced in September alongside the announcement of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, with an opaque ‘2018’ release timeframe. More than half way through, the product is yet to hit shelves. <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-21/why-apple-s-airpower-wireless-charger-is-taking-so-long-to-make">Bloomberg says</a> that Apple had aimed to launch the accessory in June, but hit delays due to problems with overheating.</p>
<p>AirPower is much more complicated than a <a href="https://amzn.to/2MJl7Ep">standard Qi charging mat</a>. The report says the mat actually runs a stripped down version of iOS so it can manage power and complex circuitry, and communicate with the iOS devices, Apple Watch and AirPods that are laid on it.</p>
