Until it works that way, it isn't really "wireless", in the untethered sense.

Except for this company, already linked to Apple. The a look at this:

I've never experienced a more bug-riddled update than iOS 17, and I'm pretty sure I've been through them all. I have had nothing but trouble with Siri, contacts, and watch-face complications. I would like to see an option of being able to roll back to a previous iOS but alas it isn't possible. Is it unusual to get three supplementary updates so quickly after the 17.0?

I've got to agree that Australia has been way ahead with many banking technologies like the cards with the in-built chips a few decades ago and with "tap and go" technologies like ApplePay. I only carry my phone with the driver's license when I go out and that's all I need. Haven't touched cash for years.

Having said all that, though, "HEY, TIM COOK, CAN WE NOW GET THE ECG FUNCTION ACTIVATED ON OUR APPLE WATCHES DOWN HERE?"

So as one enters through passport control, your iPhone is "borrowed" for a quick look. All personal information is now in the hands of an unknown person who may or may not be "authorized" to be doing this job by the local governmental agency. Seen lots of variation in the appearance of "border control folks" in our would travels that begs the question "Is this really an official of government?".

I've also travelled extensively and never has anyone borrowed my phone for a quick look, nor would I allow them, government official or not, without sufficient justification.

Further to this, to get any information out of your iPhone without you unlocking it, the phone would need to be plugged into a device like the one in the photo at the top of the screen, and the process takes quite a long time. Your iPhone can't be secretly hacked without it being obvious unless you unlock it.

Perhaps you're being a little too suspicious, or gullible to allow people to borrow your iPhone?

I assume the majority of Apple Watch users charge them when they are sleeping so ... good point

I was surprised to find that with my series 4, the battery lasted overnight in theatre mode, and the. I’d charge it during my morning routine. I’d charge it again for about an hour in the evening and then wear it again overnight. Surprised me how quickly it charged when you’re paying attention!

I've been in contact with Apple since the 17.0.0 update. Siri doesn't complete any commands, and the text search doesn't work in contacts. I can only search contacts with Siri turned off.

I'll wait until it comes out with a bigger monitor.
