  • Apple's iPhone 15 & Apple Watch event -- what we loved, and didn't

    How is the Apple Watch 9’s double tap any different from the pinch and clench gestures that came out a few years ago as Accessibility gestures? I got those working on my Series 6 and I can go forward and back with a single or double pinch (tap index and thumb together) and clench fist to confirm. This is changeable and can also trigger shortcuts. 
    It isn’t. I’ll be sticking with my S7 another year. I like the green, and there’s nothing compelling in S9. S10 will be the one to wait for AFAIC.

  • Hands on with Apple's yellow iPhone 14

    A whole article when all that’s changed is the color. 🙄🤣

  • The LastPass hack saga just keeps getting worse

     I tried LastPass briefly, but I quickly moved on to Bitwarden. So far so good. 🤞🏻

    But there seems to be a volume level issue with Car Play

    Volume issues are a pain when using things like CarPlay and Bluetooth.  Adjusting the volume using the car's volume knob has worked in both my Hyundai and Jeep, but the trick is that you have to do it WHILE the specific audio you want to adjust is playing.  Different types of audio can have different volume settings - music, Siri/Google/etc, ringtones, phone call audio, etc.  In the case of brief snippets of audio like map directions, Siri responses, etc, timing that can be tricky, especially while driving.
    I finally turned spoken navigation off for Google and Apple Maps. CarPlay in my 2020 Subaru Forester doesn’t always respect volume settings for each source. Music is set at 17, navigation volume at 8. When navigation suddenly blares at 17, I nearly jump out of my seat. 🙄
