And, of course, what did commenters most want to talk about in the setup? That thing. Naturally, a little bit of a debate ensued. Should you use a keyboard cover on a MacBook at all?

Apple just revealed that its made heaps of money last quarter. It broke all kinds of revenue records, and Mac, iPhone and iPad contributed strongly to the total.
But there are also some dark clouds in Apple future. Read on to get the good news and bad from the company’s most recent financial earnings results.
There are plenty of apps out there that can help you stream content to your favorite devices — but it can be annoying (and time consuming) to switch from app to app to access different shows or movies. This Airflow Video Streaming Lifetime Subscription is different from other FFmpeg apps — it pushes video to your Chromecast, Apple TV, and AirPlay 2 TVs in full 4K HDR, without affecting your video quality in the slightest.
Apple took in $81.4 billion in revenue during its most recent financial quarter, up 36% from the same quarter of last year. And profits were up as well, with earning per share hitting $1.30.
Market analysts just can’t keep up with how well the iPhone-maker is doing. These results beat expectations handily.
The difference between the current 10.9-inch iPad Air and the 11-inch iPad Pro is relatively slim. And now it seems more of the features of the Pro tablet are moving to the Air. Apple is reportedly going to build on the powerful 2020 model with an iPad Air 5 that offers a dual-lens camera and optional 5G. Plus, the tablet is getting a processor upgrade.
These changes would make it a stronger mid-range tablet in Apple’s product lineup.

Long before there was the iPhone, users in France had another connected device with which they could do everything from check movie listings or the weather to chatting with other users or booking vacations: The Minitel.
Pre-dating the World Wide Web by several years, the Minitel was a French videotex online service that could be accessed through the phone line. It was used by tens of millions of people in France. Among those who gave it a go? None other than Apple co-founder Steve Jobs — who once got a unit sent to the U.S. so he could put it through its paces.
There’s no question that there’s a seemingly never-ending amount of great content to suit all tastes across YouTube, Twitch and other platforms. But streaming everything you want to watch on the go will use a huge amount of cell phone data — and that can make staying up to date with your favorite channels difficult when you’re not connected to WiFi.
Apple’s stopped signing iOS 14.6 after releasing iOS 14.7. That means that, if you’ve upgraded to the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system, it’s too late to turn back. (Although, to be fair, why would you want to?)

Ted Lasso is, as far as awards and cultural relevance goes, the biggest hit Apple TV+ has had yet. Last week, season two of the heart-warming comedy debuted on Apple’s streaming service — and, well, it’s a smash hit so far.
