  • Wearable weigh-in -- Apple Watch Series 10 vs Apple Watch Series 9 compared

    Hard to differentiate sometimes what is hardware and what is iOS software update features. Eg. the sleep apnea feature is an iOS update feature not a watch update which isn’t fully explained in the article. I certainly appreciate the new features to the series 10 from the series 9 my biggest disappointment would be to lose the blood oxygen level feature if I upgraded to the series 10.

  • Sleep apnea detection is the most impactful upgrade to the Apple Watch

    Millions will learn to find that they have apnea thanks to Apple tools. 

    A lot of people don't realize that they have it until they're told by someone else or confirmed by diagnostic tools.
     
    Yes indeed. It took me several years of feeling like somebody kicked the crap out of me every morning before I was tested and confirmed to have sleep apnea. Chances are high that if you snore or have a large neck you are at risk of obstructive sleep apnea. This is not a condition to be ignored. If you do not sleep well your life will basically suck.

    I hope Apple Watch users enable this feature (if it needs to be enabled) and consult with their doctors. The biggest issue with sleep apnea once it is diagnosed is compliance with the therapy. If you end up needing PAP therapy make sure you insist on getting fitted with a machine and mask that you are totally comfortable with. Don't let anyone tell you what to you should be using and don't be afraid to try different options until you find something you are comfortable with. 
    Been using a CPAP machine for over a decade, I sleep like a baby. Eight hours nonstop, sleeping.

    Apple has been doing this for years over Black Friday weekend depending on the product you buy you can receive a $25 $50 or $100 gift card. Essentially you are buying a device at a discounted price along with a gift card. Basically your paying  the full price for the device and receiving a gift card. as it was explained to me, the reason they do it this way is for accounting purposes.

  • Apple Card is still best in its customer satisfaction category for four straight years

    iOS_Guy80iOS_Guy80
    It is the only credit card I now use. It is so convenient to know that all your expenses in a given month are due at the end of the following month.The credit card app is so useful and has so much good information in it. The UI of the app is also quite intuitive.

    Wish authors would substitute “less expensive” for “cheap or cheaper” when talking about Apple devices.
