  • iOS 16.3 now available with support for new HomePod, security keys

    Does this include the upgrade to HomeKit’s new architecture that was released with iOS 16.2 for just a day?

  • Apple's $111.4 billion quarter - which analysts were right and which were wrong

    While the AI graphs are interesting, I think that showing a 4 quarter moving average line would provide clearer information on the overall trends because of the seasonal nature of the data,

  • Apple Watch Fall Detection credited with saving unresponsive Arizona man

    The watch is a little smarter than described above. After an alert:

    ” If your Apple Watch detects that you're moving, it waits for you to respond to the alert and won't automatically call emergency services. If your watch detects that you have been immobile for about a minute, it will make the call automatically...

    ” If your Apple Watch detects that you're immobile for about a minute, it begins a 30-second countdown, while tapping you on the wrist and sounding an alert. The alert gets louder, so that you or someone nearby can hear it. If you don't want to call emergency services, tap Cancel. When the countdown ends, your Apple Watch automatically contacts emergency services. ”

    I suspect the author intended a brief description of the fall detection, rather than a 3 paragraph description of the decision making process.

    I’ve noticed that I’m getting fewer false fall alerts than I did when I first got my watch. Is there some sort of learning going on in the watch?

  • Unboxing and activating Apple's titanium Apple Card

    I got my card yesterday and tried to use it 3 times. It worked once. It did not work at a gas pump (swipe) or at a restaurant (likely a swipe).

    I texted the help number and was connected to a specialist at Goldman Sachs. The specialist seemed very inexperienced, taking a long time to respond with several starts and stops in his texting. After just one text response they said if you continue to have this problem, please chat back. We did continue the chat, though, but still ended with a “we’ll look into it.”
