  • Apple will testify on data privacy policies before US Senate on Sept. 26

    Apple products and duck duck go.

  • Comparing Apple's HomePod versus the Fluance Fi70 speaker

    Sure don't want one of those on the vanity in the master bath. Also don't want to have to bring my phone into the room to use bluetooth. I will stick with real speakers for the family room and HomePods in places that make sense.

  • Apple 'Gather round' 2018 iPhone event scheduled for September 12

    Face ID On the iPad Pro means no sale. I do not want it and do not want to pay for it. The notch screen is also a no go.
    Some of us do not want a digital map of our face stored locally on a device or remotely on Apple’s servers. The lack of a physical home button is also not a plus.

    As to iPhones, if I cannot buy one without Face ID, I will say pass. I’ll just buy a new battery for my iPhone 7.
    With Apple, change is guaranteed. I have the X at this point. After 3 or 4 days I wished I had never had a home button. And its a royal pain to use my iPad or my wife phone which has the "button".

  • One year with the Apple Watch Series 3

    I've been wearing my Apple Watch Series 0 every day since I bought it. Still works great for what I need it to do: time, weather, messages, calendar reminders, controlling music playback from my iPhone to HomePod and Bluetooth speakers, tactile turn prompts with Maps, nightstand clock, fitness tracking, and timers. It's super comfortable and the stainless finish and sapphire glass look as good as new. My only complaint is lack of sleep tracking, which is possible but would throw off my normal usage patterns. Will I replace it with the new Apple Watch 4 if one actually comes out soon? Probably, but not because the AW0 is not serving me well. I'm ready to explore what else I could be doing with my Apple Watch along with a new iPhone. The added water resistance and speed bump will be nice too. I only wish the stainless steel case option did not incur such a steep upgrade cost. What to do with the still very functional AW0?
    I agree and am sad that the Series 0 is being deprecated.  Even the battery life on my Series 0 is still a full day - and I've worn mine every day since release.

    But, if Series 4 moves to a larger screen (in the same form factor), I'll count it as a personal win to have held out this long.
    Ditto for me. Series Zero ordered the night they came out. Only thing that doesn't work for me is the breathe app. It used to work, but now it might fire up once a week at best. Would love to see a camera added and FaceTime support.
