Hello, welcome to the Apple Insider Podcast. I'm William Gallagher.

As sponsor this week is Notion and Apple Insider Plus this week, well, we're going a different route.

We're going into the badlands when Apple is not the nice company that you would like to think it is. But enough that later.

App Inside Plus is for subscribers to the podcast and if you are already a

subscriber we'll see you later for that but if you're not do please join us

through Apple's own podcast subscriptions or through

Patreon details in the show notes, but that will come later.

Let's get on with the fact that joining me is Wesley Hilliard and Wes just before we started speaking had something

on his mind apparently about speakers and well that's it I've got a matter

Wes hello and speakers? Really?

Well, there, I just happened right before we got into the show, saw a YouTube video

someone posted, um, where they wanted to clean the speaker grill in a Macbook and it turns out they

discover this is something I didn't really realize. Those speaker holes aren't actually holes.

They're divots. They're sealed.

They're completely filled in.

They're painted with a little black dot to make them look like holes.

So Apple's lying to, this belongs in Apple is bad, isn't it?

Why is Apple lying to me about my speakers that looks so nice?

What's interesting is, I don't think even Apple calls them holes but it's um it doesn't matter

it doesn't automatically mean your speaker's gonna sound worse yes a whole

would allow air to travel more directly but Apple accounts for the

entire case when developing acoustics for how the sound is going to travel and spatial audio and I don't know about you
