Loving AirPods Max After Using Them For a Year
The AirPods Max headphones were met with quite a lot of skepticism when they were first released, thanks largely to the US$549.00 price point. Over on iMore, Joe Wituschek explains why he loves his, a year after getting them.
After using AirPods Max for about a year now, I can say that the experience of these headphones is phenomenal. If you love good audio and are in the Apple ecosystem, it’s tough to find a better pair of over-the-ear headphones. Not only are they integrated with Find My and Apple’s quick pairing and switching between devices features, but they sound incredible. Now, sound quality can be subjective in a lot of ways – everyone has a different preference of what they want to hear. More bass, more treble, more detail, and a host of other preferences can make some headphones better for certain people. However, it is easy to recognize for most when you are wearing a pair of quality headphones. You can hear the difference. You hear more at higher volumes with more clarity and less distortion. And these headphones nail all of those things. You truly get immersed in what you are listening to.
Some Essential Siri Commands For The Apple Music Voice Plan
The release of iOS 15.2 and watchOS 8.3 brought with it the Apple Music Voice Plan. While I’m still skeptical about why the plan exists, Apple Must has a good list of useful Siri commands if you’re using it.
To start the trial? Just use Siri and say “Hey Siri, start my Apple Music Voice trial,” though you can also sign up through the Apple Music app. So, what can it do? You can Play, pause, skip forward and skip back on tracks. You can raise and lower volume. One good trick is to ask Siri how loud it is now, and then reduce it in percentages, such as “Play Music at 35% volume”. Apple Music Voice Plan also lets you access Apple Music’s entire lineup of playlists, including Today’s Hits, R&B Now, danceXL, The Agenda and others. You should be able to check through what’s available in the Apple Music app, though you won’t be able to play anything unless you use Siri.

'Dashlane' Password Manager Updates With New Menu, Quick Actions
Dashlane has updated its iOS app to help users save time. The way the Dashlane iOS app was structured, items in your vault, like passwords, personal and payment info, Secure Notes, and IDs, all required two taps to get to. Now, those key items are just a tap away thanks to the new horizontal menu sitting at the top of the main screen. Dashlane has added something they call “quick actions” to items. By tapping the three dots on the right hand side of each item listed in the user’s vault, it will bring up a mini-menu that will allow users to copy different parts of their credentials or personal data, share or delete the item, or open the corresponding website. Dashlane has moved the notifications to the bottom menu of the app, right next to the home button. Now, users can’t miss security alerts, sharing invites, or product updates.
Apple Releases macOS Monterey 12.2 Developer Beta One Without Universal Control
Apple seeded the fist developer beta of macOS Monterey 12.2 on Thursday. MacRumors reported on the, rather limited, details that were available. One thing missing was Universal Control.
Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences. We don’t yet know what’s included in macOS Monterey 12.2, but Apple has yet to implement a major feature — Universal Control. Universal Control is designed to allow a single mouse and trackpad to be used with multiple Macs and iPads, and Apple has said it will be launching this spring.
