Looking out Android box vs Apple TV options

Android box vs Apple TV options

I have been using TV that was few years old and was mostly dependent on the first-generation Chromecast device for my streaming requirements. However, I was exploring two key streaming products available in the market and wanted to list both pros & cons for those products. Following are my reasons about advantages and disadvantages for both products.
  • Apple 4K TV Box - Too expensive and high quality: The major advantage of Apple’s 4K TV box was the picture quality and its deep integration with iOS ecosystem & its devices. The disadvantage of the product was its cost, the price of the product was too expensive that we could offer couple of android boxes for a single Apple 4K TV.
  • Android Box – Affordable and lack of iOS native support: The major advantage for opting to the Android box was its cost, the price of the product is so affordable that would meet all the streaming requirements and might break even in a year with promised software updates for next few years. The little bit of disadvantage about the android box was the native support for iOS devices and me owning lot of iOS devices ranging from iPhone, iPads, and Macs it was a huge bummer. 
The above comparison of both streaming devices was based on my day to data requirements and experience in using first generation Chromecast for past several years. To read more about my opinion or suggestions, please feel free to check out the articles published in “G R Team Sites”

My plan for getting Apple Watch Series 8 was crashed

 

Apple Watch Series 8 was crashed

I was planning to get Apple watch for a long time and have even detailed about it in my earlier articles. I was eagerly waiting for the Apple Watch series 8 version for the following couple of reasons:
  • Watch design revamp: For long time Apple watch series was due to design revamp and there were few leaks detailing complete revamp of Apple Watch design. However, post launch it was evident that the Watch Series 8 will also adopt same design as the Series 7 and the performance/battery would also be on similar lines. 
  • New sensors with same price range: I was expecting that Apple would bring in new sensors focused on tracking exclusive health fitness and would keep the pricing on the same range. However, Apple has only introduced temperature sensor for tracking women’s menstrual cycle and have considerably increased the price of Apple Watch series 8 for users in India. 
With above reasons, I had dropped my plan once again on getting new Apple Watch series 8, as there were no new health tracking sensors for men and the price hike in India has dashed my hope on getting the Apple watch with certain budget. With another Apple watch series launch, my hopes on getting Apple watch seems to be far from over and to know more on whether I had bought Apple Watch, please check out the “G R Team Sites”

Few additional disappointments in AirPods Pro 2 launch

disappointments in AirPods Pro 2 launch

I have already detailed my disappointment on the launch of 2nd generation AirPods Pro with lack of Lossless audio format support and unavailability of any new health monitoring or tracking solutions. In addition to it, there were few other concerns regarding the launch of new AirPods Pro and how it has disappointed the enthusiasts with additional rumors. Following are my additional concerns regarding the 2nd generation AirPods Pro. 
  • No major re-design or colors compared to first generation: Since, the launch of the first generation 3 years back, there was no redesign or color option introduced on the product, while the competitors were launching the upgraded TWS headphones with new designs and exclusive color options. With transformation of iPhones, Macs, and Apple Watch, I thought Apple would launch newer version of AirPods Pro 2nd generation with exclusive new colors and slight re-design to differentiate it from the 1stgeneration AirPods Pro. To my disappointment, the second generation AirPods Pro had the same old design and the same color options. 
  • Lack of USB-C connectivity support: Another disappointment on the 2nd generation AirPods Pro was the retention of Apple’s lightning cable to charge the device and the rumors were expecting that Apple would transition to USB Type-C cable support due to regulatory restrictions. To everyone’s disappointment Apple has not made or attempted for transition to USB Type-C cable or completely wireless charging options. 
With the above disappointment from Apple against the rumors and expectations from the enthusiasts, it becomes clear that Apple wanted to delay their transition to new features or re-design to its product for a longer period.

Checking with Ford’s Service Centre for repairing accidental damage

Ford’s Service Centre for repairing accidental damage

After the freaking accident on my Ford EcoSport, I had two options, either getting my car repaired from authorized service center or get it serviced from third party car service center. I wanted to explore both the options, but I had authorized service center as my preferred options and wanted to check with them first, before checking out the third-party car service centers. So, I had telephonic conversation with the Ford’s service advisor and got the required details from them and was surprised on few of those factors. The most important factor of the accidental repair request was that the Ford had announced that it has decided to cease Sales Operations in India and will focus on electric & premium segments. Following is highlights of the conversation and it may vary across the region & authorized service centers
  • Pricing: The Ford service center quote me approximately the price range and wanted me to share the pictures of the car to validate the quote. To my surprise, there was no change in the quote and initially I felt the quote was very high and may get lower quote with the third-party service centers. So, without confirming the accidental repair, I have communicated that price was too high and will come back at later stage. 
  • Turn-around time and paint quality: Ford’s service advisor promised me that the Car repair would be completed in a day, and they would utilize only Ford’s authentic OEM paint for the Car’s Body. The paint would never fade, and the damage would be repaired in such a way that it is on par with Factory finish. I was little bit convinced on this commitment and anyways wanted to check out the third-party service center’s options. 
Even though above factors for car accidental damage were convincing, I was never fully satisfied with the quote and wanted to check with third parties for confirmation. To know more about their response, please feel free to check out the articles published in “G R Team Sites”
