  • AirPods & Apple Watch market share insight opens debate on consumer choice

    thedba said:
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but do other watches work with an iPhone through an app? If someone wanted a Garmin or a Fitbit, wouldn't that work on an iPhone?  
    I’ve had Garmins for years and they’ve never had any problem working with my iPhone. Is the integration as seamless as my AW?  No, but the Garmins are sports watches with some smart features vs a smart watch with some sports features.  Heck, it’s an LCD screen with a few buttons so it couldn’t do all the “smart” things my AW does!  But as far as working with the Garmin app on my phone?  In the 8 years I’ve been using it, zero problems.

  • How to turn off in-app rating requests in iOS 17

    Had this happen a few weeks ago. Downloaded an app for the first time and within seconds of me opening the app it was asking for a review and feedback. I immediately gave it one star and the feedback was “don’t ask for feedback about your app before I can even use the silly thing”.

  • Beeper has more ridiculous work-arounds for its iMessage bridge hack

    Soooo….  If they are just telling you to buy an iPhone, why not just, I dunno, use the iPhone?  No Beeper needed!   :D

    (I know, I know…. It’s to generate the code so you can keep using their service on your Android…. Just seems kind of silly as this point….)

  • Apple's forgotten Trailers app is on its way out

    Hmm am I the only one who frequents Trailers!?
    Nope - I usually open it a couple of times a month. Going to miss it - was always great for seeing not just previews for the big blockbusters but lots of smaller films as well that I otherwise wouldn’t have heard of!

  • GM ditching CarPlay could go bad, complain car dealers

    I had been highly considering a GM EV recently - decent price, decent performance for what I would need it for. Then this news broke and I went “nope”. 

    And then a week later they announced they were discontinuing the model I had been considering so it made the choice to not buy even easier.
