Satellite SOS is a game changer, says LA Search and Rescue
It's through text because via satellite, even a simple compressed message can take a minute or more to send. Voice wouldn't be possible. It's actually insane that they are able to send messages back and forthmacgui said:That's your takeaway and contribution. Hm.
I'm happy to hear LASD has accepted this feature as a viable aid to rescue and lifesaving. To be saved from a life threatening situation must be an overwhelm sense of relief. To be in the position to provide that aid when it's needed most is rewarding. To be too late can be devastating friends, family, and responders alike.
Apple really nailed the two-way text feature though they probably had input from responders. Talking to someone on the phone often finds an excited victim who has trouble concentrating on answering the important questions ask. Having to answer those question in text much reduce the distraction considerably. It's good to hear some real world feedback on this instead of web doom and gloom. Nice article, AI!

iPhone 15 Pro review three months later: Worth every penny
I have a few notes about this article.The author said that they didn't notice the ProMotion when using the phone and it seemed the same as their 13 Pro...it's because the iPhone 13 Pro has pro motion! If you wanna compare, just toggle low power mode on and off and it will toggle 120 & 60hz and you will be able to tell the difference
the author also mentioned that the titanium is "lighter than the aluminum of its predecessor". All pro models have been made with stainless steel which is heavier than titanium, but titanium itself is 2/3 heavier than aluminum.
the last thing is that the author said that the ambient light/proximity sensor noticed them leave the room then come back, toggling the always on display on and off. This is also untrue. This toggling happens because the phone recognizes the Apple Watch you are wearing (which they mentioned they have) is moving away from the phone, so when the watch is away from the phone for a certain amount of time, the AOD turns off, then turns back on when you approachThese are very minor things but I've worked with iPhones for almost a decade and i love the little nuances that make them stand out so i wanted to share

US Apple Watch sales and import ban: What you need to know
There's no way you're actually using this like a normal human uses an Apple Watch bc really? Lmaogoodbyeranch said:I know this wont happen but I dream that This is Apple’s chance to drop the watch altogether and exit that market. It is by far the worst Apple product ever. I’m embarrassed for Apple. I’ve tried and given up on several models, most recently the Ultra 1. Obnoxious phone/watch integration and by the time I turn off 1001 unwanted naggy intrusive “features” there’s little value for the price. Excuse me while I search Apple support forums to figure out how to disable this screeching beeping crisis alarm signal because I bent my wrist too far at the gym. The Apple Watch “experience” is trash. Unpopular opinion but surely I’m not alone.

You just taught me something. Thank you for this comment. I looked it up and this was really cool to learn about the mouse22july2013 said:Apple practically invented the home computer, and practically invented the mouse, but those are the two main products it still can't win customers for.

Apple Watch Series 9 vs Apple Watch Series 8 - compared
PSA!! You can turn on accessibility settings on any series watch and use the double pinch/tap feature they were claiming as new. You can actually do so much more. (Single pinch, double pinch, single clench, double clench)
