  • 22 percent of iPhone owners intend to upgrade to new model in 2018, survey suggests

    i think those on the iPhone upgrade program should be getting a discount for their loyalty and likelihood of continuing to upgrade. Sure Apple know they don't need to. But they should throw their loyal customers bone FFS.
    We get a discount: free AppleCare.

  • Apple's AirPower mat inches closer to release, again said to arrive in March

    Both of my Apple watches have bands that won’t lie flat: a Series 1 with a SS Link and a Series 3 with a SS Milanese. 

    Which just leaves my X. Not enough use.

  • New video shows drone crashing onto roof at Apple Park

    I know little about drones. If they lose proper operational control, do they emit some sort of warning noise in case they plummet to the ground?
    No, the pilot does. Usually sounds like "oooooooh sh..."
    Accompanied by a low moan from the direction of their wallet.

  • LTE Apple Watches may be able to make emergency calls without linked iPhone plan

    Logical: phone’s without plans are required by law to have access to emergency service numbers.

  • These low-cost wireless Qi chargers will juice your new iPhone X or iPhone 8

    Have these also been tested for the Series 3 Watch?

    I have an Apple Watch charger from Apple (the white $80). Will that charge a iPhone X?
    If it's Series 0 thru 2 then it won't as that's a different inductive charging standard, as I understand it. Series 3 Watch uses the Qi standard, but I'd be surprised if that works, even if just as a trickle charger because of what I assume is very low-power that the iPhone won't register (perhaps how you can't charge a USB-C Mac notebook with the USB ports in your car at this point).

    I hope that's not the case and would love if I could just take my current Series 3 charger to charge a future iPhone, even if took all night to do so, but I'm guessing that's not the case. After the iPhone 8 and Series 3 Watch came out I was in an Apple Store which had a Qi charger—which I think they sell in the store—on their new purchase setup table on display for people to use/test. The Apple employee told me that it works for the iPhone 8 but it would not work for the Apple Watch.

    I don't think it'll be too long, maybe a year, before we see devices that can regulate power to work different devices and Qi standards, but I think today that's going to be a common concern.
    My Series 0 charger charges my Series 3 just fine and vice versa. But I couldn’t imagine such a low power system to make s dent in that much much larger iPhone battery needs. 

    Also the Apple Store only offers one (w 2 lengths of cable, 1m or 2 m), nothing about Series comparability.
