AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 receive new firmware update
I connected my AirPods 4 to my MBA via cable and they were updated in less than two minutes, probably less. I've done this since it was first mentioned at AI many years ago. It's worked very quickly every time, but this is by far the quickest I've seen any of my AirPods get updated.
As always I have no idea if the updated firmware is a welcome update.

watchOS 11.4 was briefly available, and was pulled by Apple [u]
They were an abused child. 9TO5Mac is where I got the info for the first sentence. The second was my conjecture, and yeah, I don't know why that would trigger someone. As you say something's up.charlesn said:
9TO5Mac is reporting that Watch 11.4 was pulled after being listed on Apple's website. So something's up. By the way: gotta wonder why someone disliked your completely anodyne post.macgui said:It looks like Apple pulled the 11.4 update. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be released yet because something else wasn't ready or maybe there was a bug discovered that needs to be squashed? -

I thought Silent Mode silences everything but alarms and haptics. Even Do Not Disturb doesn't silence alarms. If set they go off and you have to silence them. So maybe this toggle does let you prevent alarms from sounding? That would seem to actually make more sense. Same toggle different purpose.
EDIT: I found this (but AI won't let me edit my previous posts)Gear Patrol said:
Most people who wear their Apple Watch to bed either have Sleep Focus enabled or Silent Mode turned on. Both options silence all notifications to not wake you up during the night. This includes alarms, which vibrate instead.

Apple's MagSafe isn't going anywhere

You believe that...sloth77 said:
Actually most of the statements are true. It is less efficient than wired charging, it is slower than wired charging and it does make the phone fractionally heavier (if not bigger).Xed said:
There's a ridiculous number of false statements in your post. Is that suppose to be parody that is falling flat?proline said:You're probably right. It's sad, because with MagSafe half the electricity gets used to increase the entropy of the universe which raises carbon emissions for no reason. It is slow, it makes the phones bigger and heavier, and hardly anyone uses it. And yet, for so many years the only thing reviewers would say every September was "and it still doesn't have teh wireless chargez!". Apple doesn't want the big story in September to be that, so they will include the wasteful and useless thing.
But I don't agree that hardly anyone uses it - I suspect most people wirelessly charge.

None of those things are true as stated and most of the others have some truth to them but are lame duck statements, like "makes the phones bigger and heavier."

and you deliberately choose to ignore and misrepresent that. WTF.
