A side note our discussion on the AirPods Pro Max from last week: here is more info and a comparison to high end headphones from a MacVoices viewer describing comparisons to high end.

Who are the AirPods Max aimed towards? It's the same market or type of consumer that these wireless headphones are aimed at; Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless Copper ($699) DALI‌ IO-6 ($499) Sennheiser RS 195 ($449) Master & Dynamic MW65 ($499) Focal Listen Bluetooth Wireless ($490) With the exception of noise cancellation, what the AirPods Pro Max brings to the table that these other brands don't is the following;

• Spatial Audio
• Atmos, 7.1 support
• Active Noise Cancellation
• Transparency mode
• Adaptive EQ using mics and sensors
• Ear and neck detection
• Multiple SoC for extended battery life and computation audio processing
• Apple grade pairing
• lagless wireless audio, auto switching
• the ability to add features, over time, via software updates
• So if you're someone that appreciates high-end audio AND tight-integration with the Apple ecosystem, there's a good chance these headphones are for you. As well as there's the fashion angle.

Dave and Warren both received their iPhone 12 Pro Max Dave has a Pacific Blue 256GB and Warren a Silver 256GB. We give our first impressions with its performance and new features including the new camera.

Dave had quite the ordeal trying to restore his backup to the new iPhone 12 Pro Max as it seemed his back up was corrupt after hours of trying and it also would not restore iPhone to iPhone. So he decided to just set it up manually and signed into his iCloud account. He wanted to delete the backup and it would not allow that. He reviews this.

Turned out Apple had locked the backup for 48 hours and it took 1 hour talking to Apple Support

We discuss the back up process and how to restore your iPhone when failure occurs

Cases. There are many cases available for the iPhone 12 Pro Max here are some choices.
