You may think that is a ways out but try waiting for the Air Pod Pros delivery timeframe!&nbsp;&nbsp;Hmm. Do you think Siri is going to Navigate your vehicle or would you let that smart device do anything in the Apple car?&nbsp;&nbsp;See what the crew thinks of Fitness Plus or is it Fitness Less when consideration for description is not really up to snuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think about sharing an iPhone or iPad? Multiple users for iOS may be on the horizon, but then again, Air Power and Air Tags are on that same horizon.&nbsp;\uf04a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join the Tech Abilities Crew for this end of the year conversation and be sure to leave us some feedback and\/or suggestions on our phone line at 612-367-6093, we would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some links to the topics from the episode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appleworld.today\/blog\/2020\/12\/21\/a-new-report-says-that-the-apple-car-will-arrive-in-2024-with-a-monocell-battery-design\">A new report says that the Apple Car will arrive in 2024 with a \u2018monocell\u2019 battery design<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/apple-airpods-max-headphones-order-delivery-delay-wait-march-2020-12?back=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fclient%3Dsafari%26as_qdr%3Dall%26as_occt%3Dany%26safe%3Dactive%26as_q%3Dair+pod+Maxx+delivery+time%26channel%3Daplab%26source%3Da-app1%26hl%3Den\">If you order Apple&#8217;s new $550 AirPods Max headphones now, you might not get them until March<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/apple-airpods-max-headphones-order-delivery-delay-wait-march-2020-12?back=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fclient%3Dsafari%26as_qdr%3Dall%26as_occt%3Dany%26safe%3Dactive%26as_q%3Dair+pod+Maxx+delivery+time%26channel%3Daplab%26source%3Da-app1%26hl%3Den\">Apple working on technology to finally allow iOS devices to support multiple users<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blindabilities.com\/?p=6413\">Explore with LiDAR on the New World Channel in the latest SeeingAI Update \u2013 Demo Included<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blindabilities.com\/?p=6408\">Coming Soon!
