    Old timer that I am, I remember the days before the WinTel duopoly dominated the computer industry. We had machines running 68000, ARM, SPARC, Alpha, etc, and a consequence we had year on year real innovation and advances; the completion that the free market promotes. 
    Whereas we’ve seen stagnation with Intel’s CISC x86 architecture for over a decade, a fact that Apple recognised. The irony of course is that things have come full circle as Apple was one of the original investors in ARM back in the late 1980’s.
    Hopefully exciting days ahead!
    Old timer here! I agree and hope for exciting days ahead too.

  • Apple releases watchOS 7 update for Apple Watch

    Does anyone have issues of upgrading their Series 3 to watchOS 7 due to insufficient space? The upgrade required at least 3.1 GB of free space, and I only had 2.8 GB available. I couldn't figure out where to free up more space so I had to do the new installation of watchOS 6 before upgrading to watchOS 7. When I tried to restore my profile from the back-up, I got the messages that it couldn't be done due to weird errors. I had wasted a lot of time here...
    The update installed on my S3 without issue. But I don’t have any media on it, and I’ve only installed three apps.

  • Restarting your device resets default mail, browser settings in iOS 14

    I was wary of this update, so I  upgraded my iPad Pro 2018 first, as it wouldn’t be as annoying as if I messed up my iPhone XS. It went fine, so I upgraded my phone late last night and my S3 watch this morning. No issues so far.

    I assume the majority of Apple Watch users charge them when they are sleeping so ... good point :/
    I was surprised to find that with my series 4, the battery lasted overnight in theatre mode, and the. I’d charge it during my morning routine. I’d charge it again for about an hour in the evening and then wear it again overnight. Surprised me how quickly it charged when you’re paying attention!
    There is a new feature that will send an alert to your iPhone when the watch is completely charged. In general you probably don’t need to charge to 100% if you are going to charge again at the same time the next day. Charging to 85-90% is probably fine. And use either theater mode at night or set the new bedtime mode when you go to bed. Either saves a huge amount of battery and will not disturb you with light while you sleep. 

    I’ve been sleep tracking for 2+ years with Sleep++ and this technique works great. This is with a 44 mm. A 40 mm may have more trouble. 
    I have a 38mm S3, and I use AutoSleep, but I agree with what you say. I’ll charge either morning or evening, not always to 100%, and I always have plenty of battery to get through my day and sleep tracking overnight. I haven’t been using Theater Mode at night, but think I’ll give that a try.
