  • How to disable homescreen rotation on Apple's Plus-series iPhones

    Why not flick up from the bottom of the screen & tap the orientation lock - or am I missing something?

    Into the 4th year on my MacBook Pro. Never made it past 2.5 years on any windows laptop. Thinking I will get 6 years or more out of this one.

    Just about to start year 6 with my retina MBP - still runs brilliantly & the trackpad is a joy to use (unlike the Lenovo 750s work provided me with last year).

    I obviously cannot speak for anybody else, but I still like my first gen Apple Watch, and continue to wear/use it everyday.

    Me too - Watch OS3 has given mine a new lease of life, so much so that for my usage, I see no need to upgrade.  I suppose this will be seen as a problem with 'built in non-obsolescence', the same way that the iPad 2 my wife uses is still chugging away after 5 years of use!!

  • Review: Apple Watch Series 2 is a great improvement, but watchOS 3 steals the show

    adybadyb
    Since buying my 42mm Space Gray Sport watch there hasn't been a day that I haven't worn it (totally replacing my Oris mechanical watch).

    When cycling, I take my phone with me - just in case of need, so the GPS functionality on the new watch is not essential, but when running, I would love to be able to leave the phone behind & still get accurate stats. If I can sell my current watch I will probably upgrade but otherwise I think that I will wait for the 3rd gen model.

    WatchOS 3 is a definite step up as you have described which runs well on my phone, which helps makes the decision to wait easier.

    30 million 4" iPhone buyers last year alone proved you wrong on an epic scale.  I'm seriously considering going back to a smaller phone from my iP6+.  The smaller screen just seems to work better for me and my lifestyle.
    People said no one wants a smaller iPhone and analysts predicted 14 million sold this year.

    So sorry to say it buddy like the 5C this thing will major failz. (ignore the fact it will destroy every 'droid like 5c did)
    So it's a failure in your eyes if it only "destroy every 'droid like the 5c did"!! So what would constitute success in your eyes - selling more than the top of the range 6S's?

    Well this "major failz" will be getting one purchaser in the form of my wife, upgrading from her iPhone 4S & I think there will be quite a few more like her out there.
