  • Apple Watch Series 9 review three months later: Don't buy it for Double Tap

    dcgoodcgoo
    I picked up my Series 9 before 10.1/17.1 software was released. At that time, used double tap to dismiss notifications, one at a time, that popped up on my watch.  That took what was always a two-handed operation, to a single hand trick.  Glance at my watch, and tap through the notifications, dismissing each, one at a time.  Really handy when my opposite arm was tied up!

    But that all went away with 10.1, the feature that presumably brings all of the gestures to life. I have been unable to set up that Acknowledge and Dismiss feature since!

    One of the many reasons I will never buy a Tesla. Haven’t CarPlay available means I’m getting access to what I already pay for: Apple Music - plus messaging etc that I use many times a day while commuting. No CarPlay, no sale. 
    There is no need for CarPlay on a Tesla.
    My car has CarPlay and we use it all the time. One thing I like about it is if I ask my HomePod for the hours of a store and then head there, when I get into the car CarPlay offers to give me directions to that store. That works great for me at our second home where I’m less familiar with the area and tend to use navigation more often. Another thing it does is offer to give me navigation to the next appointment on my calendar. That works without having to share my calendar with a third party. We also use the HomePod  Intercom feature quite a bit. For example, if I’ve run out to pick up some take-out I can send an Intercom announcement that I’m almost home and then the table is set and everyone is ready when I walk in the door. Does that stuff work with Tesla?
    In a word, yes.  Plus the Tesla app can actually drive the car, should you choose.

    I’d be more interested in a Track Pad that was also a screen

    I stopped doing Ethernet and switched to WiFi because I can quickly share screens from iPhones over WiFi , but can’t connect to Apple TV if it’s connected via Ethernet. I have the new 128 Gb on WiFi. I would love to connect via Ethernet.

    Has this changed? Can you have both Ethernet and WiFi connected, and do screen mirroring?
    No change there, Ethernet or Wi-Fi, not both. But that should not prevent screen sharing or airplay. I frequently share my iPad/iPhone screen with my cabled AppleTV. Now if your wired and Wi-Fi are different networks, that would break it. But that is a simple networking mistake that is easily corrected.
