Apple rolls out watchOS 10 for Apple Watch with new faces, health features
dewme said:gregoriusm said:chr15h said:Bug?
Just updated to WatchOS 10 and I now can’t swipe to my other watch faces. I can see them on my iPhone Watch app, and change them on there but can’t on my watch.Anyone else seeing this?
Yeah, it looks like Apple changed quite a few of the default behaviors. I was as puzzled by the way swipe to change the watch face works as Chr15h was. The good news is no more inadvertent changes to the watch face. I also noticed that I used to be able to show the Control Center by swiping up. Now I have to press the side button, which means I'll have to figure out how to scroll through the list of running apps. This seems like a significant change to the user interaction model and user interface. I'm sure it will be better once I get over the learning curve. I like what I'm seeing so far.
Regarding moving the control centre to the side button. I'll get used to it for sure. But I'm not convinced it's the best use of a dedicated hardware button. -

iCloud Time Machine for Mac & new AirPort routers pop out of rumor mill - but hurdles abou...
IIRC, Apple exited the router market because mesh devices were getting so popular. Not to mention that many people didn't want to replace their isp provided all-in-one modem/router with another router just for wireless time machine backups.
A time machine backup device that integrates with an existing home network by simply plugging into a network port (and USB power) could be very useful. Perhaps the specs of the mystery device suggest this could work. 32GB as a buffer, as it's likely network speed from mac to the device will be a lot faster than upload speed to cloud, and a battery backup in case of a power outage, so that it knows what's backed up from its buffer and what hasn't.
Wireless 'n' is a peculiarity though.
