I think I found some instances where I use it, but especially I mean, this may be different on the pros because their their characteristics are very different. But for the AirPods for where they don't actually seal your ears and sound is always going to get around them.

I find that adaptive transparency is noise canceling when it chooses to cancel out a noise like a droning noise or like, you know, white noise type of thing. It's just not as good as full noise canceling. When you put on full noise canceling, it cancels more noise. And so I've been using adaptive kind of around the house without conversational awareness.

But I think with the personal volume thing where it tries to crank up the volume when things get loud around you, I think that's a good balance for me. But when I'm like, for example, in bed at night watching something on my iPad, I switch to straight up noise canceling because my wife has like the window fan on or something, right?

noise canceling at least with the airpods for cancels noise way better than the best adaptive ever even attempts to do so i have found a place for adaptive in my life and i do use it when i'm just like walking around the house but i still go into full noise canceling so i kind of wish that adaptive was like full noise canceling when i felt like it was safe but not but i guess i maybe i'm asking too much like i'm kind of asking for adaptive to be like a uh

for it to pick which mode it wants to do. Like I want adaptive to be a thing where it says, I see your other three modes and I cycle you between them based on what I think is safe, but that's not how it works. So adaptive is in my rotation, but I still have to manually choose the mode that I want occasionally.

I like to see Apple continuing this long march towards essentially making the phone more of an independent entity. Obviously, we all have Macs, and we assume everyone, if they don't have a Mac, that they have a PC, but that's just not true, right?

And anything that you do with an iOS device, like if you've ever tried to help someone, and you say, oh, just connect it to your Mac or PC, and they're like, what? why would I need a Mac or PC? I just have my phone. And you realize, oh, not everyone in the world has a Mac or PC or wants a Mac or PC. And any part of the phone process that requires a Mac or PC is like broken.

And so Apple doing this by saying, okay, well, maybe you don't have a Mac or PC, but maybe you have an old phone. Obviously, if you're in a situation where your thing is hosed and you need something else to help you recover from it, you do have to have something else. But allowing that something else to be a phone, I think is great.

And it makes me wonder what the heck they're waiting for on the watch. which is still completely dependent on the phone. I mean, obviously there's a synergy there where they want you to buy a phone and a watch, but they want you to buy a Mac too. But I feel like the phone is overdue for a little bit, you know, take off some of the train wheels, let it be a little bit more independent.

Hey, it's got its own phone number. It can make phone calls, but it's still so tied to its parent phone. And I think they should edge that along. But it's nice to see the phone continuing to assert its independence.
