Can anyone else confirm a bug in iOS 13 in Messages? I cannot send a message as SMS now if the user has an iMessage account. I have one contact that has a Mac and can receive iMessage to it, But their phone is android. Previously, if they sent me a text from the phone , I could reply as SMS. If they sent from Mac, I could reply as iMessage. If something went by iMessage by mistake, I could long press and select "Send as Text Message' Thats gone now, and even if i try send as SMS by picking their number the very second i click in the text input box, it goes to iMessage automatically. I now have to text them from Messages on my Mac, which allows me to send it as SMS via the phone. Other SMS only if fine, just odd that this feature is gone from the menu.

Looks like Hyundai just put themselves out of the game with that leak.....

believe it or not, Hyundai make very good cars these days. Brother is a mechanic and he cant fault them.
Compare that to the volume of Audi, VW, BMW, Opel that come in , and then you realise what manufacturers are pumping out crap.
You would be surprised at how many "Big" names are using bought-in engines developed by the "lesser" brands.
Pay a premium for your German car and find out the engine is actually from a French maker.... 

And some people think the iPhone is a walled Garden. Imagine paying €70,000 for a car and when the power steering needs to be changed, the car won't start unless Main Dealer re-program the car to recognise the new part !!!! 
Or one car that would go into Limp Home mode randomly, but be fine the following day... turns out a home-burned audio CD was driving the ICE ECU mad at one track and that made the main ECU shutdown the car to emergency mode.
Current car manufacturers know squat about developing software systems for cars that are secure and usable, and with smart, connected cars here now, they all need someone with experience in this area. Toyota/Lexus are the leaders in Hybrid/Battery tech , simply because they have been doing it for about 20 years.

Think of CarPlay as the Motorola phone that had iTunes.....

Remember when the iPhone was de-tethered from iTunes?

Same thing here, just allow the Watch to be setup on its own, and optionally sync with what-ever you have/iCloud.

Makes perfect sense, especially considering many Healthcare companies are giving away and Apple Watch with plans, so this would allow anyone to use it, regardless of their phone OS.

Now, I just wish that one of the Carriers here in Ireland would finally start supporting the cellular Watch. Radio silence every time I ask them about it.

even though it was buggy, i dont like the loss of this. handy tool. I wonder if removing this is a step towards a future introduction of a stable and more comprehensive solution that would work across Mac and iOS devices? I really wish users could screen share iOS devices when helping on support. To many hours wasted with "no, that button isn't here for me..... Oh, you want me in Settings? I was in Camera....." Anyway , if you have a static IP and can do port forwarding, a reverse ssh tunnel setup, so you can VNC to a port on localhost, works a treat.

simple, just announce at WWDC that it will henceforth be known as the Apple Phone, change the iMac back to the Apple Mac, and iPad to Apple Pad. That bring it all in line with Apple TV, Apple Pay, Apple Macbook, Apple Watch, Apple Music.

surely they could put touchID on the back of the phone and use ForceTouch as the home button?
