That's pretty impressive! 

It would be nice if Parallels develop a virtual x86 environment although I imagine it's pretty challenging. 

ARM Windows 11 already has a builtin x86 emulation environment.

Huh. The day I ordered the 45mm large midnight version, you put this out.

I plan to use it for my 44mm AW5, and later for the AW8 - if it's usable for it.

So ... for the 45mm band, S/M indicates it's for 140-180mm wrists, and the M/L is for 165-205mm wrists. I measured the circumference of my wrist and it's 194mm - so the M/L is my size, right? It's the total circumference of the wrist, not just the size of the band, right?

Anyway, I guess I'll know Wednesday .

Just got tired of the cheap nylon elastic band which needed tightening every time I put it on, and my metal JUUL band kept feeling like it would scratch my 16" MacBook Pro lower case.

My original Apple sports band bit the dust earlier this year.

The EC has just been getting too big for their britches - who the heck do they think they are?

These devices are not designed there or manufactured there - why would they think they can control the design of devices and services for which their citizens are nothing but customers?

I know the EU thinks they’re the big fish in the sea, but they haven’t been that for several decades.

They talk about breaking up big tech - do they even realize that none of those big tech companies call the EU home?

Of course they want to force big tech to do this or that - there is no domestic big tech to lobby against it. And any domestic EU little tech companies are the ones pressing for the changes. “Oh mommy, they're so unfair.”

It’s rumored that it’s possible that only the iPhone 14 Pro phones will have USB-C (to accelerate transfer of ProRes footage) - if so, maybe Apple should only sell the Pro models in the EU. Let the EC worry about the illegal import of grey market cheaper phones with the oh-so-despised lightning port, and let domestic customers complain to EU authorities that only the higher priced models are sold there.

As for messaging services - ship phones to the EU with no messaging service installed. Then let EU customers install iMessage from the app store with no changes whatsoever if they want it, allowing the customer to decide for themselves if they want to use a messaging app, and if so which one. If the EU is so hot for universal encrypted messaging services, let them develop it and put it on the app store.

It’s about time that the EU paid for what they want in everything from defense to consumer goods and services. If they don’t like what’s on offer, then produce it themselves and supplant what’s normally included in the product - no one’s stopping them, and manufacturer’s would probably lend a hand if they did do their own development.

LOL I can't wait to hear the contortions of people against the gov't intervening in private companies that are also jingoists that hate private US companies from doing any business outside the US, especially in China.

At this point, you'd pretty much have to be an idiot to advocate exporting high tech to China.

China is at the cusp of improving their military to push the US and western interests out of the South China Sea, and a potential invasion of Taiwan is growing more and more likely. The world's most advanced chip maker - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company - is right there which has to be the cherry on top for any mainland aggression. The mainland has been trying to develop their own chip manufacturing, but due to lack of expertise and corruption all attempts have ended in failure.

You send manufacturing to China and the first thing they do is steal your designs and manufacturing techniques - the Chinese Communist Party has no respect for Intellectual Property and right now hostility to foreigners and foreign manufacturing is at an all time high.

Please do try and keep up with current events and trends - the Chinese Communist Party is probably the greatest threat to western society at this point in time.

Nope, sounds like all apps remain scaled until you quit the app for which you instigated the action.
