The newer iPhones (starting with iPhone 14) have crash detection and can automatically contact emergency services. There is also the scenario where perhaps the iPhone will automatically switch to satellite when no cell service is available. Not really clear on the article. The example at the end of the article about using an iPhone 14 would be a very different scenario.

Not sure if this release fixed the issue with Siri, which I was having, but I’m having issues with Homekit not connecting to Nanoleaf Matter light strips. WTF Apple.

"It is more difficult in France than in the USA to get a ruling that contradicts the wording of the law," said Smets.

What?  Weird sentence.  More importantly, what IS the law that they believe Apple is violating? ....

By deducing from their statement this French law applies to seeds. Apple Inc is named after apples. Apples have seeds, which  is evidente when you take a bit as suggested by Apple's logo. Thus, the law applies to Apple.

Not sure when you last bought or used one. My Beats Studio Wireless -- the best pair of headphones I've owned (and I've owned, and still own, a lot of them) -- easily gives me 12-15 hours. Moreover, it comes with the wired option as well.

The sheer convenience of not having dangling, tangled cords is a massive plus.

agreed; i get good battery life on my pair of Plantronics gym buds (charge them once a week), and my Philips office headphones have a wire for optional standard mini-phono jack...good blend of functionality.

now that iOS can report a headphone's battery life in the Today pulldown, im not left wondering when to charge. only bummer is trying to use one pair on multiple devices. i hope apple can improve this pairing process.

I too, agree. I was skeptical about using wireless headphones until I got the Beats Studio Wireless. Wireless audio quality has come a long way. I was also surprised how much more enjoyable it is to listen with headphones without constantly worrying about the wire. As far as pairing, the Beats Studio headphones make it very easy. When you turn them on they automatically pair with the last paired device. To change pairing you hold down a button and connect on the new device. It's simple enough, and I haven't had any pairing issues in the 8 months of I have used them.

Netflix uses Silverlight. I hope this development doesn't mean I have to constantly "re-activate" it.

If you have a 2011 or newer Mac and OS X 10.10 or newer you don't need Silverlight for Netflix. Netflix will use HTML5 instead.
