  • Video: What's new in watchOS 4.3 for the Apple Watch, featuring portrait Nightstand mode, ...

    I don’t understand. I’ve had iPhone music controls on my series 2 watch all this time. Use it constantly when cycling to work. 
    I think the video is doing a poor job of explaining this. Basically what you're talking about is Now Playing but what the video talking about is Music app.

    In OS 4.x Apple got rid of iPhone music control in Music app. The result is anyone that want to use the watch to "play" music on iPhone, say you're lying on bed, watch on wrist, phone at charger, you want to use the watch to play "music on phone", you can't! You can only play music that stored on watch. This is not the case for OS1.x to 3.x
    Now Apple has fixed this.
    Or when you are swimming in your pool and using your Apple Watch to control or select music on your iPhone that is playing music to Bluetooth speakers, you could no longer do that with WatchOS 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2.  They finally fixed that and restored the feature with WatchOS 4.3.  Sorry Apple, you are not going to force people to pay for Apple Music by removing software features.
    Hmm.. when you're swimming the watch will be in water lock mode so you can't interact with touch screen at all.
    It doesn’t automatically do that, and the Series 3 especially is very good at telling the difference between water and a human finger. Use it in the shower all the time to play music, and have no issues with usability even with water hitting the screen the whole time.

  • Chicago flagship Apple Retail store roof not well suited for snow, ice

    This seems pretty normal to me, what’s the problem? If you live in a cold climate falling ice is something you have to deal with. 
    So other stores in Chicago have similar signs? That’s interesting because I live in Minnesota and no retail stores I go to caution me to watch for falling snow or ice.
    If you're ever in Chicago during the winter months, walk down Michigan Ave. These signs are everywhere. Long ago, someone got killed from falling ice from a skyscraper, so these started popping up and down the street. This is not news.

  • NYPD handcuffed by investment in Microsoft's Windows Phone, now switching to Apple's iPhon...

    I wonder if this will cause Apple to invest extra effort in detecting apps that send out the phone's location ( a la AccuWeather ) ?  That's information that could certainly be misused.
    If it's anything like the phones they issue us in the military, they will be heavily locked down to only approved, pre-installed apps, and most all of the privacy settings will be strictly locked down as well.
