Wow, someone needs to lighten up. I was dying laughing during the whole skit. Worked for me; I’m glad you don’t. 

"Our vision was to invent a mobile computing paradigm that more seamlessly integrated with people's lifestyle needs," the company said.

My first thought: Apple already did this. 13 years ago, lol. 

It’s a sh!t show and I’m here for it. He’s a despicable person with a me me me outlook only.

I myself have used both Apple Pay and WalMart Pay. Apple Pay is quicker; WalMart Pay is convenient sometimes, but I recently noticed something new: previously, when using WMP, it would generate a digital receipt within the app. On my last two visits to WalMart, it not only generated the digital receipts but also printed out paper ones. That itself is one reason I prefer Apple Pay so as to not use paper.

I always update on release day and thus far, I haven’t encountered any issues. I love the simplified way AirDrop now works with contacts, I haven’t seen the No Sender Mail issue’s, and the new swipe keyboard is pretty cool and comparable to GBoard I used by Google. I’m pretty happy with iOS 13, especially Night Mode. 

I haven't either. This time I updated early simply because of Apple Arcade. Without it I might wait.

And yes, swipe keyboard is great, but how do you type double letters, like le'tt'ers?

What I do when typing, as I’ve used GBoard for a long time now, is slightly hold that letter for a split second longer and it registers what I was aiming for. I used to have Apple’s predictive spelling/suggestions turned off, but it was helpful on GBoard so I turned it back on now using Apple’s keyboard. I’d been waiting to ditch Google’s for a while now. 

Love how a poll of only 1,500 people speaks for the masses. <eye roll>

There are people, groups, and companies that truly want to see humanity thrive in new ways and there are people that are of the old school opinions that we're doing just fine...and those singular people still get the final say. I feel that when all the "old money" leaders are gone, only then will we have a chance to grow. <Sigh>

Wtf? I mean, thanks to Apple for creating safety features, but wtf is wrong with people? 

I’m attending AWS re:Invent this week and I sat in on the keynote presentation by Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman this morning. It was cool to learn that Apple partners with AWS and uses some of its products and services. Makes you realize that somewhere, some company always relies on another, no matter what the field or product.

Did I miss something? My HomePods haven’t updated and I can’t see anything different in the climate tab of Home. 

Same here. My HomePods say there isn’t any update and that they are current at 16.2 after updating my iPhone to 16.3. 

Ditto! I also tried turning off Advanced Data Protection, resetting the HomePods, and checking again. No luck. Patience is a virtue…

Speaking of, does anyone know more about the ADP? I turned it on via my iPad but on my iPhone it still shows as turned off. All devices are updated to 16.3. Should I reboot my phone? Does it take time to propagate across devices? I know little about it… 

[u] Nevermind - apparently I have to update my Apple TV and even my old Windows computer’s iCloud for Windows app before it turns on.
