This week’s top stories: Apple answers MacBook Pro questions, cuts USB-C adapter prices, iOS 10.2, and the best cord-free earbuds

In this week’s top stories: Apple answers your MacBook Pro questions, cuts USB-C adapter prices, iOS 10.2 arrives for testers, and we break down the best wireless cord-free earbuds available ahead of Apple’s AirPods.

It’s all about the Mac this week as Apple answers lots of questions we had about the new MacBook Pro lineup and we continue exploring the new machines. We take a look at the super fast new SSD’s in the new MacBook Pros, including what appears to be the fastest SSD performance on the market for the 15-inch model.

Apple gives us the rundown on why it didn’t include a 32GB RAM option and also explains its decision to offer a 3.5mm headphone jack but no SD card slot.

iOS 10.2 gets released this week for beta testers alongside watchOS 3.1.1, tvOS 10.1 and macOS 10.12.2 betas with new emoji and wallpapers, and we take a look at the best wireless cord-free earbuds available as we wait for Apple’s release of its own AirPods.
