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.

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.

There's a ridiculous number of false statements in your post. Is that suppose to be parody that is falling flat?

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).

But I don't agree that hardly anyone uses it - I suspect most people wirelessly charge.

You believe that...

• MagSafe half the electricity gets used to increase the entropy of the universe which raises carbon emissions for no reason
• It is slow
• hardly anyone uses it
• wasteful and useless thing

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."

not been a good look for Apple over the last year.

The last year? How about the last decade. About the only thing Siri has consistently been good at is setting a timer. Most of the time I use Alexa for that, but it frequently forgets before time is up.

Is AI supposed to save Siri? I've no interest in AI and probably won't for the next 1-2 years, until it can do something I'm interested in, and do it accurately and reliably.
