  • Apple pushes watchOS 11.1 update to public, primarily focusing on bug fixes

    I sure hope this resolves the lousy battery life on my series 8. 
    Yeah, I've seen questionable battery life on my Apple Watch Ultra and my son's Apple Watch 10. Hoping the 11.1 update fixes it. 

    What's odd is that we don't have bad battery life all the time. Sometimes I get normally battery life and sometimes it rapidly decreases. This isn't due to any excessive use.

  • Cellular Apple Watch buyers call out Verizon's maddening activation block

    mastericmasteric
    Surprising since my son and I both have Apple Watches from the Apple Store. We have Visible (owned by Verizon) and zero issue activating our Apple Watches on Visible. Just added my son's Apple Watch 10 to his Visible account on Saturday. Zero issues.

    Hard to differentiate sometimes what is hardware and what is iOS software update features. Eg. the sleep apnea feature is an iOS update feature not a watch update which isn’t fully explained in the article. I certainly appreciate the new features to the series 10 from the series 9 my biggest disappointment would be to lose the blood oxygen level feature if I upgraded to the series 10.
    If you look at the Apple website in France, you can see that the blood oxygen feature is still there on the Apple Watch 10. It appears that it is only disabled in the US. That would lead me to believe that Apple Watch 10 in the US still has it, yet it is disabled by software.

  • Drivers love CarPlay as car infotainment systems get worse overall

    If a car model doesn't have it, I won't even consider it.
    Same here. I love CarPlay. Both of our cars have it (and one of them has wireless CarPlay). There is no way I'd buy a car without it.

  • YouTube TV hikes monthly subscription price to $65

    mastericmasteric
    I am paying less than $50 per month for DirecTV Entertainment package so paying $65 for You Tube TV is outrageous. 

    I am getting a monthly credit on a 12 month contract. I call when it runs out every year. Give me a good deal or I will just cancel (one day they will let me cancel and I'll just switch to Spectrum or something else that is offering a promo deal). They always give me a good deal. I have heard from people I know that they've done this and some get a credit and some don't. It seems they are doing less credits now though so I have no clue what their measuring stick is on who gets a discount and who doesn't. As long as they keep giving me the credit, I will keep renewing. I don't pay for any premium channels, but I do get HBO (and HBO MAX) for free for being an AT&T Wireless customer.
