  • Apple's new iPad Pro benchmarks demonstrate impressive tablet AI performance

    Using my iPhone, I find the dictation quite good, with words, grammar, and punctuation. Speaking at a reasonable rate and clearly, obviously, makes a difference, as with any dictation input method. I have very few problems with Siri dictation.

  • Apple ships tvOS 17 with FaceTime and Apple Fitness Plus changes

    For whatever reason, the tvOS 17 update is brutally slow - even after you get through the extremely slow "Preparing" phase. I've updated my iPhone and 4 iPads and my Apple Watch is nearly done updating, and progress bars on the Apple TVs (4K models and one HD) are moving at a sub-snail pace, like an elderly snail with a dry foot pad and cracked shell. Incredible, in a bad way.

    Update: The ultra slow ATV 4K seems to be a unique case. All of my other 4Ks and one HD updated fine. Not terribly slow. The one malcontent ATV is still in a updating state after about 90 mins. It must have lost its marbles so I'll do a factory reset on it and start over again.

    Update 2: After doing a soft reset by pressing the ATV remote Home and Menu at the same time for >5 seconds the Apple TV restarted, immediately restarted the post-preparation process. The progress bar that was previously stopped near the end point reset to the binning and gradually progress to completion after a few minutes. Update to tvOS 17 completed and the device seems to be working fine. Must have been a electron clot or something like that.
    I always force quit my apps and Restart my Apple TV from the System Menu after every OS update. Seems to help things.

  • Apple rolls out watchOS 10 for Apple Watch with new faces, health features

    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?
    You have to tap and hold and then swipe right or left to get to each watch face. 

    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.
    Double-click the Digital Crown to go to Recent Apps. 

    Turn the Digital Crown from any watch face to bring up the apps you have chosen to be in the Stack.
