  • Future Apple Watch could have more uses both on and off wrist

    fred1fred1
    It’s interesting how the whole discussion is about how to make the watch detachable from one’s wrist (a problem I’ve already solved by using a braided solo loop band) and nothing (well, almost nothing) about what to do with it once it’s detached. A camera would be nice, or a body sensor (what kind??), but what else?
    Any thoughts?

  • New super high-end iPhone could arrive by 2024

    So the “Ultra” is supposed to have “some camera improvements, an even faster chip, and a larger display.“
    Then what will the regular models have??

    So if we watch Netflix on an Apple TV, there will be no difference as we will continue to get Dolby Atmos over speakers and on our Apple headphones. People that watch Netflix directly via an App on their and have an Atmos system at home will also continue to hear Dolby Atmos over their speakers or soundbar.

    It is only for people that watch Netflix via an App embedded in the TV over headphones? Seems like a lot of effort for a small target segment.
    I don’t know, but I can imagine that there’s segment of the market that watches movies often on their iPad or even their iPhone. Frequent travelers, commuters, etc. It might be worth it for them, but still, $20 a month?

    Hard to believe it could be this quiet with all those hard, echoey surfaces. I can barely spend more than ten minutes in my local inside mall store (Brea) without my ears bleeding. Surprised my Apple Watch has not given me the dangerous noise environment warning yet!
    I was wondering about the acoustics as well. The Palo Alto, CA store has the same design, with the same hard surfaces on all six sides, and it’s terrible. They did a much better job with the nearby (and later) Stanford Shopping Center store, with fabric on most of the walls. 
    I’m guessing that the Santa Monica store was built around the same time as the one in Palo Alto.
