I upgraded both my iPad Pros (9.7” A9X and 12.9” M1) and my iPhone Xs Max launch day morning with no problems. All went smooth, fast and easy.

What about VENA? https://www.venaproducts.com/

I’ve been using their iPhone vCommute wallet/stands for years. I think they’re the best.

A blood pressure sensor would be a guaranteed buy from me. Also, if they could make the battery last 24 hours instead of the current 16 hours (that's what I'm getting) then that would probably mean a buy from me, so I could wear it when I'm asleep in addition to when I'm awake.

I get 40-50 hours between 90 minute charges on my WATCH Series 6.

But there’s a subset who are not watch people. Make sure if it’s a gift that the recipient is a watch person who will appreciate it. If they’re not, they’ll think Apple Watch is junk and never learn to wear and use it. That would be a bummer.

I bought Series 6 after only one year with Series 5 because of the BLUE color I had to have. Turns out it looks like BLACK most of the time. But then I was pleasantly surprised to get 40-48 hours of use between 100 minute charges with the series 6. So I’m not sure what Apple can do to get me to move up to a series 7 watch. But I gotta say there is a huge difference between Series 5 and 6 with both charging time and longevity of the charge. Can anyone else confirm my experience with Series 6 or not?

I don’t use notifications at all. I’m always ON Do Not Disturb and Silent modes. But I do leave the X-Large display Always ON with the Juice Watch complication to monitor both my iPhone and Apple Watch battery levels. Keep Wake Screen settings ALL OFF.

My favorite watch complications are Juice Watch, Weather, Timer, Voice In A Can (Alexa for Apple Watch), Parcel, Overcast (podcast player), Workout, and Our Groceries. Still getting roughly 2 days between charges including one 20 mile Outdoor Cycle workout during that 2 days.

I bought a 2TB 12.9” M1 iPad Pro July 1 for $2300 including a new version 2 Apple Pencil. so next quarter is going to be even bigger with School coming round the Zoom bend. This tool is awesome on Zoom! Better Zoom than I’ve ever had before.
